I bet it's what his people are telling him to keep him happy. "No Mr. President sir, the polls are all wrong, the people are still with you sir." Something like that.
Anyone know if that's what's being pushed on FOX "News" or some of the other crackpot news outlets? We should play it as if that is the case. Keep the foot on the gas! Hopefully we see the all-time blowout, like no one has ever seen before! Like no one could ever imagine could happen!

(14,564 posts)They ebb and flow from being the morally righteous under dogs to being the get out of our way super majority (all the breathless talk of a permanent majority during Ws early years).
Just another way this country indulges right wing fuck wittery.
Demands for bi-partisanship when they are out of power, demands to shut up and get in line when they are in power.
Why this country puts up with them is a complete mystery.

(12,286 posts)That's why they are silent here.
If trump wins because of this silent majority it is outright election theft.
And it could happen. Voting machines are hackable.

The Trumpies are delusional. He's broadly despised. Not just disliked, despised. People are sick of it.
