Sarah Palin is borderline retarded and literally more grating than Hillary Clinton despite not being anywhere near her level of corrupt subhuman slime. She's just so drat stupid its infuriating.

Trump hasn't made any mistakes so far, despite the media crying every other day that HE'S FINALLY DONE IT.

I'd be surprised if he trots her out on stage to endorse him, although since it's Trump, somehow it won't hurt him in the slightest and his numbers in New Hampshire will inexplicably rise.

the great lesson from trump is that previous populist demaguoges really overestimated the average intelligence of their supporters. you can say the most obvious lies, deny things that came out of your own mouth only days before, change positions on the fly, pander in the laziest of ways, and none of it matters as long as you poo poo on the correct minority

You realise Trumps's main appeal is actually that A) He's not bought by donors and B) He's not an establishment politician? You really think he has no relation to the anti-establishment feeling surging in the West right now? There's a reason he does way better against Hillary than Bernie in the General polls.

this is really cool. i love how little sense people make, and how much work it takes from people like yall to form a narrative out of it all. do they (edit: here 'they' means your supervisors or the people analyzing the data you're collating, this was confusing) ever tell you anything about how they weight the responses you get?

Sorry for the later reply here, but if you're still interested.

Short answer is no. Long answer is that my supervisors are just as in the dark about the methodology and "they" never tell us how they weight stuff (NBC/WSJ is the exception, since it's so straight forward that I can figure it out myself). For a lot of the push and "private" polls all I know is not all questions matter the way you think they do. Like, a question could be:

"Do you consider yourself to be a Tea Party supporter or more of a mainstream Republican?"

This sort of question is a demographic question, meaning it often comes either before or after the survey. If the question is before the survey starts, THEY are trying to control for that demographic. If the question comes at the end, they're trying to forecast for that demographic, or sometimes ever pander. Here's another example:

"On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being not at all excited and 10 being very excited, how excited are you to vote in the November 2016 Election?"

This question always comes AFTER we ask how likely they are to vote (which is always controlled for) as well as WHO they are likely to vote for. This 1-10 is basically a sign of how enthusiastic the person is for their chosen candidate OR how much they're vulnerable to the push poll/TV propaganda. Lower response= more vulnerable, while Higher response = more vulnerable only IF their choice is more uncertain, and since we ask whether they'll Definitely or Probably vote for a given candidate, or just Lean towards that candidate...

Racismchat, is the antisemitism concentrated in specific black communities or is it an across the board thing? All my experience is purely anecdotal and super-limited so I'm curious as to whether it lines up across a wider geographical area. Black pentecostals hate Jews like they hate evolution in my neck of the woods but everyone else seems really chill.

Basically, I only have to worry about getting the targeted antisemitism/homophobia from the South excluding TX and FL (from everybody, not just Black people) and when I'm calling, and this is going to sound bad, Low-income Urban Black Communities (this does not apply to the lovely city of Oakland, CA, who are extremely polite to me every time I call that area).

Revelations 17
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:



5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.



8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

...

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.



13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
