The media and the leftist pollsters live in their own bubble and don’t get out much. A lot of polling can be done in the little lunch and break area lawn behind the CNN building. Less work.

Version one:
A quote from New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael almost 40 years ago, has been discussed in right-wing circles ever since. It went something like this: “I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”

Alleged version two:
“Pauline Kael famously commented, after the 1972 Presidential election, ‘I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.’”

The comedian, Jim Gaffigan, made a similar comment about the 2016 election.

There was a reporter years ago, can’t remember her name, who wrote an article basically saying now that Powell says we need to go into Iraq WMD…. and he is not an idiot like Bush she supports it…

What i found interesting in the article is that she strayed into basically the same thing. Talking about Nixon’s election and how she didn’t understand how he won so big considering no one she knew voted for him.

Even way back then i remember thinking what’s so hard to understand. You are a “journalist” and your biosphere are all leftists.

The blindness she held for this concept almost made me laugh.

Like watching don lemon do man on the street interviews and shocked that black people he talked to didn’t agree with him or better yet his comment awhile back saying basically “what crime?”, I went out to eat and saw no crime.
So therefore there is no crime…

The difference between those type and myself is I see their perspective, I kind of understand it, as crazy and out of touch I think it is, they can’t understand my perspective so they act like it is fringe and wacko

Their reaction to hitlary losing is a prime example
