Some people here castigate me for my guilty habit of reading the mess that is Freepfuckville- which I do at least once a week. But man, it's like watching lucy snatch the football from Charlie Brown. And that is so much fun. The freeps are in complete denial, convinced (again) that all the polls are made up and that the Trumpus will win in a Reagan style wave election. Well, most of them are, and the ones that dare voice, ever so meekly, that the polls were right 4 years ago, are verbally crucified.
I can't help but look forward to election night when Freepfuckville totally loses their shit. Again.
I won't link to the thread I'm enjoying with my chai out of deference to those who object.

(114,904 posts)Trump had the highest unfavorables in the primary and still won it. This means nothing.

There is no law against the MSM making up a poll to twist public opinion. Thats what a lot of these are, I suspect.

Its the Republicans constant criticism that hurts him. People tune out partisan Dem statements.
The GOPe is trying to save its RINOs by driving away as many Trump voters as they can. And theyll end up without the Senate or the Presidency.

If you think the media is going to print or broadcast anything positive about Trump youre kidding yourself. Nice to see after a bad poll or two some of you are already throwing in the towel. Thats why the left beats us constantly. The RINOs give up and so do a lot of so-called conservatives too.

Part of this is non-stop MSM negativity. I googled the name Donald Trump and got 20 stories all bitchy, whiny nasty dreck. Then I googled Hillary Clinton and got 20 stories, all glowing fiction about her wonderfulness.
Its worrisome but its still early in the game. It doesnt help that all the republicans who pledged to support the primary winner are reneging on their promise. Also the mealy-mouthed slime from Ryan and his ilk doesnt help. If the republicans dont go all out and support their nominee, they will NEVER have another chance. Theyll lose half their membership and even then, it wont matter because the democrats will import enough new voters so that a republican will never again hold national office. This is exactly what happened in California so as far fetched as it sounds, its a very real possibility.
In the end, Im certain that turnout will turn the tide. Everybody hates Trump except for the voters who will turn out in greater numbers than for Clinton. Keep in mind that polls cant measure this.

The entire Government is corrupt and the mass of Americans are so used to corruption that they cannot tell the difference. America is in great trouble and you can tell by the forces that are trying to ruin Trumps chances.
Trump for President.

unforced error
I have been for Trump from the beginning of the debates. Unfortunately, the opposition can make a very brief video with a series of Trump's very few unfortunate statements, especially taken out of context. People watching this in practically a loop will never even know what he stands for. I am praying that he can break through the biased media.

Its a poll of adults - 40% of whom wont vote, another 10% are ineligible to register. Notice they didnt publish any internals. The negatives probably rose among those who would never vote for Trump, but hadnt been paying attention until recently.

(21,998 posts)You're a brave soul to wander through that muck, cali.
I, too, enjoy seeing the Republicans in distress or denial. The latter is best, I think, because their loss will be so much greater if they don't expect it.
The Republicans are the single greatest threat to our country. They need to be crushed!
They won't have any excuses this time. They got the candidate they want

(7,107 posts)They all thought Romney was going to win in a landslide. The dawning realization that the GOP was losing was priceless.

(8,379 posts)There was nothing more delicious, EVER, then watching Karl Rove sputter like Porky Pig after Romney lost. He actually made Megan Kelly walk down to their room where the guys made the call for Obama and castigate them for not waiting until the polls were closed. It was so delightful.
