Not sure about FL but he's losing in every rust belt state (except WV because lol) plus WI and MI with white people earning between 30-75k

So he's got that going for him

He's gonna focus on NY and CA though so those states won't matter. All he needs is a couple more murder/suicides on college campuses and he'll win in a landslide!

D was +17% but it was like 1700 people, so I guess they felt that they still had a big enough sample of Republicans? 2.8% MoE isn't bad

I'm not to the point where I trust internet polls though. I've been on the internet for a long time and the closest I get to approval of pretty much anything on it is cautious acceptance

Trump has the whole GOP behind him, while a ton of Sanders supporters still say they won't vote for Hillary. Basically this is the most favorable situation possible for Trump right now, and the polls still show him losing.

They should respond by playing every clip of every stance he's held on foreign policy, ideally sorted by subject with flip flops placed in sequence with one another

I know they're an aggregate, but their bias is so complete that all information they repost should be regarded as tainted. As someone mentioned this was a bad poll.

Edit: apparently it was within statistical bounds, so nevermind. You should trust everything said by posters in Molten Salt Reactor since we are all perfect arbiters of reality

How is it a bad poll? And in what way are the polls that they aggregate tainted? (besides Rasmussen, which is famously tainted in the GOP's favor)

Just generally, this is going to be a thing going forward, right? I mean, the downside to his being in the media and being interviewed so much is that there's just so much footage of him holding contradictory positions. The Hillary campaign won't even need to write attack ads - they just need to keep showing clips of Trump being all over the place. And if he continues to attack the media for not giving him a fair shake then they're justified in defending themselves by doing the same thing.

Shageletic posted:

Trump says he's rich because he's special. Trump sells a school by saying anyone can be rich.

Anyone who's marketing anything will say "you need this thing in order to do this thing". Shampoo commercials will indicate that using the product at hand will provide a desired effect, but they say nothing of bald people or people who just have unmanageable hair that doesn't respond to normal treatments. Stop holding Trump to an unreasonable standard when he still looks bad when holding him to a reasonable one. Trump U used extremely aggressive sales techniques and misrepresentation of content to fleece people while providing an allegedly substandard product. That is the bad thing. The fact that Trump doesn't say "oh well look my personal view is that if you're not the right kind of person then you're not going to get anything out of this" is not the problem.

Again, my original objection to the article was related to the way you introduced it -

quote:

Also, Trump doesn't seem to be too hot on that whole "men are created equal" thing"

- which is also where the article decides to pitch its tent. So you, Trump, and an editor of MJ all don't get the difference between equality as a fundamental loving quality of both democracy and american culture, and equality as sameness.

Shageletic posted:

That's it. Let's move on now.

By all means, stop defending this shamefully lovely article and we will say no more about it.

Wasn't talking about the aggregate. I'm talking about your poll skewing. If poll A has a Clinton bias it's a good poll, if poll B has a Trump bias it's a bad poll.

Pretty pathetic. Almost as pathetic as your rampant homophobia.
