Boy have we been here before. Trump fans are using online polls to say he won.

We have a scientific poll showing what Americans actually think, the CNN poll showing 62% think Hillary won vs 27% who think Trump won, but of course there are various online polls showing all kinds of results, depending on whether fans of a candidate posted the poll on one of their forums and directed people to manipulate the poll.

Deja vu all over again. And HA Goodman was kind enough to morph into a Trump supporter on YouTube for our nostalgic enjoyment.

Clinton was clearly the one with stamina, clearly the one with command of the issues. But Trump's simple and simplistic messaging clearly resonates with a substantial plurality of voters.

As always, turnout is key.

No need to disparage people we are working with to make sure that Trump loses this election.
