Dumbastheycome Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 True or not the concept of a diverse spread of US American youth being said to be responsible in sabotaging the reservation numbers and resulting hype for attendance at Trump' lacklustre rally should be a wakeup all. Even as a concept that would be difficult to deny was valid as a form of opposition it reveals the weakness of any argument about perceptions of future outcome. The pandemic event has interrupted the processes of "educational' indoctrination in many areas which has allowed some greater potential for personal interpretations of events. At the point of enthusiastic attempts to resume "normality" a polarizing event has triggered a rejection of significant aspects of that "normalcy". The " Floyd " reference is quickly being absorbed into a seething cauldron of social justice anomalies that previously had been buried in the processes of enforced " Accepted System" on a global scale. If there are any really astute political figures who can harness the expectations of what comes out of this I doubt they will be the ones assumed currently to . 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not just facing defeat, he’s very likely to take the GOP with him. The clock is ticking, somebody needs to decide on plan B, perhaps start bringing Trump’s visibly failing health into public discussion and open the door for him to withdraw on health grounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anyone see him as strong when he is constantly whining and complaining. What happened to "big boys don't cry"? Nothing original here: with the ex-wife if something went over well it was due to her brilliance, hard work, etc. When something failed it was someone else's fault. Sound familiar? I guess it's something they teach them in business school. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guess wrong. Polls are meaningless, this was proven after the 2016 election results. The way Reuters and other fake news sites frame stories and weave baseless opinion into the articles is what makes them lack credibility. Once you realize this, it becomes difficult to 'unsee' it. This is not news. It is little more than pro Democrat propaganda masquerading as journalism and why opinion is so divided in the TVF comments section whenever <deleted> like this is posted.

It's just that because of the peculiarity of the electoral college, they were off on electoral votes. But they very closely mirrored the opinion of Americans about who they wanted for President. So when national polls are conducted and overwhelmingly show the majority of Americans disagree with Trump on a majority of issues, then it's overwhelmingly likely to be true. There's a mathematician named John Allen Paulos who coined the word innumeracy as a counterpart to illiteracy. You might want to look that up.

There's a mathematician named John Allen Paulos who coined the word innumeracy as a counterpart to illiteracy. You might want to look that up. On the run up to the 2016 election, I am hard pressed to recall any poll that ever put Trump ahead of Clinton. In the final days, so-called news sites were predicting absurd figures like Clinton winning with 99% surety. Perhaps you should explain the concept of innumeracy to them? Here is the point that you're not getting. Whilst the people they polled showed "who they wanted for President", they time and time again polled samples of people who were over represented in the Democrat pool, people who had voted before, etc. So the numbers were deliberately skewed in order to discourage people from voting Trump. It was part of their agenda. It is also why they refused to show the crowd sizes at rallies etc. And despite the left droning on and on about it at every opportunity, there is no such thing as "the popular vote" in US Presidential elections. It is meaningless. Clinton got a higher proportion of votes in California (the most populous state) than she did in the other 49 states. If it were not for California, then Trump would have won the so-called "popular vote" if such a thing existed.

The point was made about polls and here you are bringing them up again. You also brought up the electoral college to which I responded. The electoral college is not irrelevant to where Americans stand on different issues. America is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic. The states are run by elected local governments, not the president. There are "issues" that may affect one state more than another (ie illegal immigration). You seem to be implying that someone in a border state being over run with illegals (Texas for example) should have the same say as someone in Vermont (for example) on that topic. What people want in California should not overpower the "national question" because there happen to be in greater numbers. That is what you appear to be advocating here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed the polls were inaccurate. I pointed out that with regard to the electoral college, yes, but in regard to the national vote, no, The topic of this thread is about Trump finding himself at odds with most American views. It has nothing to do with the electoral college or how each individual state voted. It's about Americans' views. So a national sample is what's relevant not a state by state breakdown. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that ?? Because they don't tow the line blindly repeating Democrat talking points and are not staffed by "anchors" and "journalists" that are tied in some cases directly to the Democrat party ? Here is the flaw in your logic. The wonderful journalists you refer to above host shows that are classified as opinion shows. There are other shows on Fox News that are news shows, reporting straight up facts, journalism etc. There is a big difference between the two and it is obvious to anyone who watches the channel. With channels like CNN, MSNBC etc, there is no distinction between the two. Or perhaps you think people like Don Lemon, Cuomo, Scarborough, Stephanopoulos, Reid, etc are fine upstanding unbiased journalists reporting real news?
