Which you would think would be common sense to someone actually interested in making a buck. The shareholders at Expensify need to kick this guy to the curb for hurting their financial interests.

Send a check. But honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. Use a throwaway email or a liberal's phone number if you have to.

With the election so close, I don't think a check in the mail is the best option at this point. The "big deal" is that I don't accept ANY solicitations, polls or surveys from ANYONE in either my email or phone and there is a note at the bottom of the campaign site that says more or less, the phone numbers provided, will be called. I'm sure I'd be placed on a email list too. I don't want that to happen. One way to slow those down is not to give out my email or phone. Took me years to off calls and email lists ... for the most part. I'll provide my name and street address. That's it.

I think my best move right now would be to go downtown to the Republican Headquarters tomorrow and see what contribution options they might offer.

I fully agree, but it is an interesting phenomenon not really ever seen before. According to what I've read, Trump only needs to get like 10-11% of the black vote and he wins. If that favorability poll is even in the same universe as the truth, Trump 'may' blow right through that baseline into territory never occupied by a Republican candidate for president. Given the crushing impact that would have on the Dem party as a whole, that would just be icing on the cake at his victory party. Beating the Dem's with their own voters would be sweet.

THANK YOU, a1abdj, for doing this!!!!!!

Not that you need to hear it from me, but thank you.

Poll evil is a pain in the neck.

Frank Luntz was bemoaning on Fox that his profession is done, if the President defies the polls again and wins re-election. I made a comment that his profession is full of fake pollsters and deserves to be out of business, and no one will shed a tear over it.

Pollster Frank Luntz: If Trump defies polls again 'my profession is done'

His "profession", such as it is, is already done.

Words fail to express the anger I harbor towards the American corporate media. I was in a doctors office yesterday and the local news station was on discussing the debate. It was totally one sided and the coverage intentionally made Trump look bad. We don’t have a free or fair media. If the coverage was actually fucking fair Democrats might never win another major election. It’s just so damn infuriating.

I've said it before and I'll say it again

I think most of the major media need to have their operating licenses revoked

taken off the air, shut down and turned to dust

we don't get anything useful from them so why keep them around

if they all want to be DNC operatives, why disguise themselves as journalists?

In a war, those are the first group you round up and shoot

Polls are conducted for multiple reasons. The public polls are designed for a pre-determined result, to mislead or demoralize voters. That seems not to be working for them anymore, at least not as much. People don't believe the polls. They are 'fake news'.

However, campaigns use internal polling, non-public, to get a handle on where they stand in a race. These polls will continue because the campaign needs the information to help allocate resources.

I told my wife this morning that once he is re-elected, he will swing the ax and fire all the dirt-bag deep state never-Trumpers out there (a sizeable amount of them, at least).

I am a Government Civilian employee and I applaud this measure. It is notoriously difficult to fire a govt civilian - often, they are simply promoted so they can move onto another office, just so the first office can get rid of them.

I hope you’re right. That would allow for some real swamp cleaning.

How frightened should we be? Very. How proud of Trump should we be? Very.

It is amazing that Amazon has not banned it but it is available for streaming: The Plot Against the President. If only all Americans would watch it, for it tells the truly horrific story of how a treasonous group of plotters attempted to destroy President Trump because… well, he wasn’t one of them.

The film reveals to the uninitiated that the plan began with Hillary. She commissioned Fusion GPS to develop material with which to destroy Trump, the candidate. Fusion GPS hired all the other initial players – Christopher Steele, the Ohrs, and a host of others. Once they had the phony dossier in their hands, they schemed with the traitorous players at the FBI, CIA, DOJ, DNI et. al. – any other alphabet agencies that wanted in on the game. They all hated Trump, the outsider who vowed to drain the swamp.

The swamp fought back – hard. But they lost. Trump won and thanks to Devin Nunes, their coup attempt was uncovered, exposed and derailed. While all the participants should be in prison, as yet they are not. May justice prevail sometime in the near future! In the meantime, the same media complex that engineered and propagated the Russia-collusion hoax is covering up, as in burying, the very real criminality of the Biden family. In their twisted brains, this cover-up is legitimate in order to defeat Trump. They truly do esteem party over country.

There have been a number of great books that lay out exactly what occurred from the moment Trump announced his candidacy, his election, inauguration and administration: Andrew McCarthy, Gregg Jarrett, Dan Bongino, Lee Smith on whose book the film is based, to name a few.

Clearly, mainstream media stars like Lesley Stahl have not bothered to read any of them. She and her partners in the anti-Trump media have all dismissed them out of hand, despite the prodigious research that went into the writing of each of them; each produce cold, hard facts. Now, after all this time and all the facts laid out in all these books, Lesley and her pals in the media are sorely behind the eight ball; they know nothing of the truth. How else to explain Stahl’s assertion that the Trump campaign was spied upon was “not verified,” a stunning admission of ignorance.

But the anti-Trump left have not given up to this day. Why do they hate this man so much? “Tis a mystery? Perhaps not. He has been the best president to have graced the office since Reagan and has accomplished even more than Reagan did in his first term. He has undone much of the damage Obama did, revivified the economy to glorious heights; unemployment was the lowest in history for all demographics.

Then the Wuhan virus arrived. He handled that far better than Obama dealt with H1N1. The help he provided to the states most in need was nothing short of miraculous. Nevertheless, all the faux dirt the Democrats have to fling at the President is COVID. Biden and Harris think nothing of blaming him for each and every death. Never mind that they do not blame the leaders of all the other nations that have suffered as many if not more deaths.

With the left, it is never about truth or facts. It is only about getting what they want. They want Trump gone and will go to any lengths to make their dream come true. They are going to be disappointed. He’s going to be re-elected. The swamp hates him with the white-hot passion of a thousand suns, but the American people love him, for reasons that should be obvious. He’s going to be re-elected because he has done a great job throughout his first term.

The Democrat party, radicalized by decades of leftist indoctrination, is a blight upon the nation. It embraces Antifa, Black Lives Matter, critical race theory, gender fluidity, the abolition of the nuclear family, the infanticide that is late term abortion, and the rest of the destructive ideologies that have captured the left. They thought their mastery of power over the rest of us was in the bag with the guaranteed election of Hillary in 2016. They have never accepted her loss and they will not accept Biden’s loss. They are like small children who act out when they don’t get what they want when they want it. Be prepared for the violence they will wreak if Biden loses. They are warning us all over the internet. Vote our way or suffer the consequences.

How on earth did we get here? Look to academia, the media and Hollywood. The combined power of these three institutions has infected at least two generations of Americans who think what they see on MSNBC, Twitter or Yahoo or Facebook is truthful news. This is what the coup plotters depended upon -- that multi-millions of people would believe the lies they spewed into the public sphere.

Thanks to Devin Nunes and his team of investigators, along with Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson and a few others, we now know that Adam Schiff is a pathological liar of the worst, most despicable kind. For four years he went on every cable and network news program and swore he had evidence of Trump’s collusion with Russia. Under oath in secret, he denied he had any such proof. Schiff, along with the rest of these hoaxers, belongs in prison. So arrogant is Schiff, he thought he could get away with four years of lies meant to destroy an innocent man. Now he blames the evidence of obviously guilty-of-selling-influence Joe Biden on “Kremlin interference.” Schiff is among the very worst of the double-dealing politicians US history has suffered. if the voters of his district are informed and wise, Schiff will be defeated by his opponent, Eric Early. Probably a pipe dream in Southern California, but Schiff is a very bad guy who should never have attained public office.

The left has used every arrow in its quiver, to reference Pelosi, to destroy President Trump and they have failed. That the Trump family has survived and prevailed despite all that has been thrown at them is a testament to their strength of character and resilience. Those of us who admire and respect them all are proud of them. Those who have strived to ruin them should be ashamed of themselves, but we all know they are not. They are motivated by hate and intolerance.

You need to tell them that. They need to know that you are not buying their beer, and WHY. Just avoiding their product won't be noticed.

I have never had the interest to examine political (and other) polls in depth, but I am aware enough to understand a couple/three key facts about them. The first is that I suspect if pollsters have no agendas about the outcomes themselves, they attempt to use mathematics (statistics) to get what they believe are representative samples of the populations they’re interested in. That’s good, and as far as the mathematics take them that aspect of polling is probably valid.

But even leaving aside the agenda aspect that seems obvious in almost all political polling, there is the fact that pollsters will be the last to make the self-damaging admission that many people don’t tell the truth when polled about countless topics—perhaps almost every one: “I know I should floss every day, but I don’t want to admit that I don’t, even to a stranger, so, ‘Yes, I floss my teeth every evening before bed.’” Political polling is even worse because the topics are far more sensitive and polls themselves are recognized as having their own impacts. How many times has someone here said that he told a poll taker he was voting exactly opposite of what he intended? “If I say I’m voting for Biden, it might reduce the Democrat turnout while motivating the Republicans.”

The problem for pollsters is that there seems to be no way to keep many people from lying to them, or at least no way that they want to adopt. I read a scientific paper once that described a method that improved respondents’ truthfulness, but I’ve never seen it adopted and I don’t even recall its details. Even a brief Internet search failed to turn it up. There is a lot of information acknowledging that poll respondents lie and why, but little or nothing about how to truly prevent lying. So then what? There is no way to prevent the problem, so pollsters and their (sometimes ignorant) clients simply ignore it. The pollsters aren’t going to shut themselves down and their results are accurate enough often enough that people keep buying the product even though it’s often spectacularly flawed.

If the President is reelected will that spell the end of political polling? Of course not, no more than after the 2016 election.
