extremely reliable pollster rasmussen new poll has trump up 3%

Mordy, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:20 (seven years ago) link

it's a tracking poll, I believe, which would mean surveying the same people daily instead of a random subset.

Neanderthal, Thursday, 13 October 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link

remember they predicted pres romney up until like the week before election day

David Sherrat seems like a winner

yep. I actually went back to the original posting they made predicting that in 2012 and found a comment from me arguing with one of the readers in comments back then. good times.

p much just add six points for Clinton to any Rasmussen poll, LA Times/USC just don't even read

DJT: "This is a movement the likes of which people have never seen before"

Every time I see this abbreviation I think of either Dan Perry or the Hairy Cornflake (US posters may have to google the latter).

how come Donald doesn't have nickname for Paul Ryan? can't re-use "Lyin'", I guess... I hope he has nicknames for his flunkies too, Ragin' Rudy, Nasty Newt, Fatso...

this is weird as hell

i saw chatter this morning that trump had be interviewed by a serbian magazine (?) and had apologized for clinton's intervention (???)

now his campaign is saying the interview was fabricated

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/trump-serbia-bombing-apology-229742

The magazine Nedeljnik released excerpts from what says it is an interview with Trump conducted via advisor Suzanne Ryder Jaworowski, a Trump senior advisor and his campaign manager for the state of Indiana

The magazine quotes Trump saying: “The bombing of Serbs, who had been our allies in both world wars, was a big mistake. Serbs are very good people. Unfortunately, the Clinton administration brought a lot of harm to them, to all the Balkans, where they created chaos."

Jaworowski says the interview never happened. “There was no Trump interview on Serbia,” she said. “I don’t know where that came from. I never facilitated any kind of interview with a Serbian reporter.”

Ryan, earlier today:

Ryan did not refer to Donald Trump by name during the speech, but bemoaned the lack of focus on issues Republicans want to talk about. He says, "Guess what? We are actually running on ideas in this election."

the DJP/DJT confusion is making me very, very angry

¶ (DJP), Thursday, 13 October 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link

to be fair, his basic political platform is very similar to a policy you one hinted at sharing

Do you stick your penis up your ass when you twist it around and see how far up your back it reaches?

nomar, Thursday, 13 October 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link

seems like a pretty elaborate hoax for Nedeljnik to put up -- they're touting the interview on the cover!

“The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure,” Trump continued. “We have seen this in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends, and her donors."

The crowd chanted “Lock her up!” in response. Trump said "she should be locked up.”

Trump called the media reporting on his personal life “horrible people.”

“The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media: the press. Let's be clear on one thing, the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They're a political special interest, no different than any lobbyist or any other financial entity with a total political agenda and the agenda is not for you, it’s for themselves,” Trump said.

“Their agenda is to elect crooked Hillary Clinton at any costs, at any price, no matter how many lives they destroy,” he continued. “For them, it's a war. And for them, nothing at all is out of bounds. This is a struggle for the survival of our nation. Believe me. And this will be our last chance to save it.”

“Ladies out there, this is what guys talk about when you’re not around. So if you're offended by it, grow up. Okay?” actor Scott Baio said on Fox News.

Baio added: “And by the way, this is what you guys talk about over white wine when you have your brunches. So take it easy with your phony outrage.”

I missed this part earlier so I just wanna say.... what kind of monster drinks white wine with brunch

“Their agenda is to elect crooked Hillary Clinton at any costs, at any price, no matter how many lives they destroy,”
but if they really just wanted to sell clicks/papers wouldn't he be their first option as president ?

Oh, how ironic would it be if, at election's end, Trump is the one who gets locked up.
