1. I also saw one earlier. They are flooding the Internet and hoping people will believe it.

The reputable polls say otherwise but one assumes they are trying to depress likely Clinton voters.

2. Click on them. They are banking on impressions, not clicks. Make them pay DU $1-$3 per click.

Remember, no matter how many times you click on the same ad, it resolves later to just 1 click per 24-hour period.

3. Campaign insiders are saying that Trump is mad....

.....because people in his campaign are trying to advise him that he needs to prepare better for the next debate while he is trying to convince everyone that he won the first debate.

He claims he won by siting internet polls - where are the Bernie clickers when you need them. He and surrogates are also insisting that the debate was rigged.

At one of his rallies, Trump claimed that he had won Google's poll even though Google was suppressing articles favorable to him on their internet searches. First of all there is no Google poll. Second, Google's search protocols give lower priorities to stories which have been proven to be false - an understandable objective. Seems that many of the articles most favorable to Trump have been proven to be false. Now that's a surprise.

Remember when Bernie won every on line poll because his dedicated followers would spend hours clicking away to make sure he won. It usually wasn't even close.
