    Right because people lied even AFTER they voted for Trump.

    As I said before; the only poll that matters will be taken on November 3. Until then this is the best information available. Whether you believe the polls or not there is other information that can be weighed.
    I don’t know if you’ve forgotten or are ignoring the following facts about 2016. First HRC was universally disliked and people were looking for an excuse to not vote for her. This increased Jill Stein and Gary Johnson’s votes. Post election analysis indicated votes they received were taken from HRC.
    Second James Comey, who you all curse, delivered the best October surprise Trump could have wished for when he restarted the investigation into her emails. That made it easy for moderates and even some democrats to either stay home or vote for Trump, Johnson or Stein.
    Finally HRC in an amazing act of hubris ignored Bill’s warnings and suggestions that she campaign in the battleground states. Losing them by 70,000 votes total was her undoing. For Trump winning was “a near run thing” as Wellington said after Waterloo.
    This cycle these stars don’t appear to be aligning for Trump. However weak he is, Biden isn’t hated like HRC and his campaign isn’t forgetting the battleground states. There are no 3rd party candidates like Stein or Johnson who will pull votes.
    Second Hunter Biden’s problems have not yet stuck to Joe. In fact the shoe is on the other foot with Trump being blackened by scandal whether fair or foul.
    Third Trump is not shining as a manager of the economy or national security as he was in January. Don’t blind yourselves COVID and the resulting economic problems are on his watch and are his responsibility....again whether Fair or foul.
    These things count whether you want to acknowledge them or not. Trump won on a razor thin margin against a fatally flawed opponent. Biden probably couldn’t beat any other Republican but he just doesn’t have to be HRC to win in November. He just has to not be Trump.

    If this is the best information available, and it really doesn’t matter, why bring it up at all?

    We know the answer, it is always the same. There is a hope that at least some retards out there will “vote with the crowd”, even when the crowd is made up bullshit for the purpose of snagging a few vote with crowd types.

    Polls always tighten just before the election, so why mention this crap in July?

    It’s a discussion forum sport! What’s the title of the thread. If you think it’s worthless what are you doing here?

    Don't give up hope, there's still over 3 months to the election - a long, long time in politics.
    - In the meantime, many more Americans will realize that Covid 19 excessive and extended response was a hoax. Probably the biggest hoax in American history - and amazingly, still ongoing.
    - And many more Americans will realize that the riots and looting, and CHAZ/CHOP, etc was not about George Floyd but orchestrated crime and violence by Democrats/Socialist as a tool to get Trump. - all those murders, violence, destruction of private property, etc...was a Democrat/Socialist political strategy

    There's a lot of time, let's see how it shakes out.

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is refusing to publicly commit to accepting the results of the upcoming White House election, recalling a similar threat he made weeks before the 2016 vote, as he scoffs at polls showing him lagging behind Democrat Joe Biden.

    “I have to see. Look ... I have to see,” Trump told moderator Chris Wallace during a wide-ranging interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

    The Biden campaign responded: “The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

    :cool: oh, baby,.. this year's debates, is gonna be a hoot

    If I were betting, and I’m not (yet), I’d wager Trump will bail out rather than suffer an azz beating at the polls.

    I pray he is not counting on "his" military to prop him up if he chooses to contest the election. Not happening.

    Unless something radically changes to help Trump, there is 0 upside to suffering a huge, very public defeat. And, the things that could change, to help him, are on a pretty short list. We will see. In many ways he is the 2020 version of Hillary!
