Here's proof the Republicans are REALLY worried about midterms

[RandomAccess]

Before this year, I've been polled via phone (or anything) maybe once, maybe twice. That's in all my years of voting (quite a few).

I just hung up from about the 5th poll in maybe 2 months tops.

I've learned that you can tell who the client is by whether they say, "If you're a Republican, press 1" or "If you're a Democrat, press 1" and, of course, which races they're discussing.

My Congressman is SERIOUSLY worried. There were questions about guns -- (paraphrased) is beefing up background checks and yadayada something else not too big a deal enough or is something more needed" (Yeah, ban on assault rifles you nincompoop).

And, "Do you want your MoC to work with Trump to pass his agenda or serve as a counter to him?" I loved that one.

Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump . . . Nancy Pelosi?

Would you rather have Speaker Ryan work with Trump or would you rather Have Nancy Pelosi?

There was lots more, and if I remember them I'll add them. Naturally, political party and demogrpaphic info was included as well.

But it's REALLY clear to me my local RepubliCON is absolutely terrified. I don't think this was his first poll -- I think at least 2 of the others were his as well.

I'm just delighted.

1. I answer like a Dem (which I am) but tell them I'm a Rep (which I am not) just to mess with polls.

it's really more fun than it sounds. And I suspect a lot of righties do it too which is where you find Democrats or Blacks loving Trump numbers.

2. Hmmm, never thought of that

Not sure I could do it, actually. I can really be too much of a girl scout sometimes.

3. Just got polled once again

today. This one was for Nevada State Wide and appears to have been funded by the Dems.

4. How many times now, since the beginning of the year?

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Four,three Rethug polls,which

love to beat crap out of. All three were run out of Brookings South Dakota at the State University. Got to have a little fun with these wannabe's.

5. Seeing lots of media attacks on Pelosi.

THAT is a huge clue.

6. I've never been polled. Is that because I don't use a landline?

8. I would say probably

[MaryMagdaline]

7. This is why I don't put myself on a do not call list

I want to get polled

9. For all the good it does, I'm on one.

11. I don't answer the phone for numbers I don't know

I am so darn tired of the telemarketing, if it is important, they will leave a message. If they don't leave a message, it is probably a telemarketer

12. FWIW

I find myself on a Trump solicitation list, and suddenly I have at least a dozen begging letters in my mailbox. Of course I've never given them a dime, yet they insist I'm about to lose my "sustaining" membership!

16. Maybe you could pick up some play money and use

that to seed the return envelopes?

13. I hope that Trump keeps campaigning!

He's got a proven track record so far!

14. I never get poll calls. I did get a call the other day from a pro life organization

They asked if I was pro life pro choice or neutral. I said definitely pro choice. They hung up. I was shocked. Ha ha

15. Yeah, I got one similar not too long ago
