Gotta love how the party of "freedom" really hates it when "gay" and "rights" are used together.

It's a sea of unforced errors. If this makes it into the final platform they're going to be raked over the coals.

Surely the Trumpublicans would still be in favor of this? Side note, I would love to see a Trump supporter in here have the balls to admit that they support this not because of voter fraud or whatever, but because it helps Republicans win by suppressing the minority vote. Part of the whole Trump thing is admitting what real Republicans have thought all along and not dogwhistling any more, right?

I don't think so. This is nothing new or surprising to anyone. Nobody thinks the GOP is at all the pro-gay party.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Didn't Rasmussen predict McCain would beat Obama until like the VERY LAST polling period, and then they said Obama would win big to make them look prescient?

And then do the same thing in 2012?

As of right now the GOP platform contains both nativist sentiments (English only!) and harsh anti-gay measures.

It only goes down from here.

That was Gallup, and only in 2012. They were majorly off in the final month of polling until they adjusted their demographic weightings to be more in line with everybody else's.

Somebody's campaign needs to recruit the Bernie mathematicians to publish some abstract theories about how they are actually the frontrunner. Jill Stein isn't aiming high enough with that 15% threshold, I need to see some complex proofs on my facebook feed for how she's winning the election.

Don't know about 2008, but their 2012 state polling had Romney winning nearly all of the swing states.

I know polling outfits will drop bad polls for news exposure from time to time but for the most part they follow the overall trend. Folks like Ras seem to just by trying to support a counter narrative for reasons unknown.

They've still got House and Senate majorities -- the party is not about to go away, and neither is the batshit.

"There are fair questions about shooting non-lethally at retreating civilian combatants."
Rasmussen is worstpoll. Nate Silver says they've averaged 6 points off, with a 4 point bias in favor of the GOP. Rasmussen is always an erratic outlier and that makes it garbage.

It's not a partisanship thing. I'll take YouGov/Economist, the runner-up right-leaning outlier, because it actually behaves in a way that resembles reality and makes sense. I'll take Fox News polls, which used to be more biased but have become more reliable and closer to the rest of the pack in recent cycles. I'll even disregard ABC/WaPo just to be fair because of its slight-moderate left bias.

But Rasmussen is garbage and belongs in the garbage.
