People need to stop thinking they are some sort of political genius because they can read a poll.

10 months ago the only guy that could beat Hillary in a national poll was Rudy G.

Does that tell all the “political stategersists” around here why it is utterly stupid to pick a candidate based solely on polling data 10 months before a General Election?

I think they understand, but don’t want to actually think about it. That’s why the same people who see a poll and say “Well tomorrow will be better” when it’s bad for their candidate, will point to some poll over a month old to repeatedly claim that it represents the current state of affairs if it sounds bad for some candidate they hate.
