Politics Enough with the Hillary cult: Her admirers ignore reality, dream of worshipping a queen

Says a lot about two things. Romney is a shitty campaigner, though the better executive of the two. And a $billion+ in campaign funds plus all the $FREE anti-Romney coverage by the impartial press worked.

Benghazi was a huge story. The press made a huge deal out of "binders of women" rather than report on a foreign policy disaster.

 

Also, if you unskew the polls, Trump is ahead by 10 points right now.

Yep. But other people being wrong doesn't make you right.

The polls were skewed.

(that's with the skew, too)

On election day, republicans stayed home more than they said they would when polled.

Republicans have an “across the board” enthusiasm advantage over Democrats in NBC’s polls that is the opposite of how the electorate looked four years ago.

Skewing the polls and reporting those results can discourage people from going out to vote. Why bother if the polls tell you you're going to be voting for the loser?

 

Don't you vote for the loser every election?

barfo

 

I vote for the best person for the job. Since you don't... Well, you don't.

The reverse is true, too: if your guy is way ahead in the polls, why waste your time going to the polling location and vote?

 

Now it's 7.3.

 

Transplanting this from the other thread since Mags objected to discussing it there:

I'm not spinning or defending Hillary and Trump, I just don't understand what is supposed to be funny about Delaware corporations?

barfo

 

Nope.

 

Then you go on to spin and defend Hiliar

Why Wall Street Loves Hillary
She's trying to sound populist, but the banks are ready to shower her campaign with cash.

Last week, Rasmussen Reports gave voters the option of staying home on Election Day if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the big party nominees, and six percent (6%) said that’s what they intend to do for now. Clinton and Trump were tied with 38% support each; 16% said they would vote for some other candidate, and two percent (2%) were undecided.

But Trump edges slightly ahead if the stay-at-home option is removed. Trump also now does twice as well among Democrats as Clinton does among Republicans.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 41% support to Clinton’s 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This is the first time Trump has led the matchup since last October. Clinton held a 41% to 36% advantage in early March.

 

Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.
