Yesterday Sean Hannity and Jamie Dupree were scratching their heads at Carson's popularity. They unskewed things by pointing out that Trump does way better in robo-call and online polls while Carson does much better in live caller polls. The theory is that people are embarrassed to tell another living person they are voting for Donald Trump.

I mean, I'm sure there's a statistically significant amount of this, but not an unskewable amount because unskewing is stupid

As the primary voters get more emotionally-vested in the race, this is going to escalate to some pretty shocking levels.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

It's actually true though, for example Boosted won't buy a Trumphat because he's scared of his neighbors knowing that he's a Trump supporter. And he is literally as rabid as they come, except for those people beating up protesters at nuremburg Trump 2016 rallies.

The polls actually are skewed, the GOP actually is this hosed. It is done. Hail Satan.

Maybe, maybe not, but either way they are having an impact on the poll #'s that are coming out right now, and if they're not going to vote then they also aren't actual Carson supporters either.

Jeb seems to think that the only way for him to present himself as a tough guy is to act like a fanatic when defending his father.

But not when defending his wife, of course. That'd be silly.

538 is on another planet, they don't think Carson and Trump are real people as some kind of hilariously transparent editorial bias for an organization that says it's about numbers and logical prediction models instead of spin. So of course their coverage is all about Unskewing the Polls.
