Mea Culpa!

I'm embarrassed to lambaste you on what looked like quoting it wrong, when it was my error in reading.

Accept my apologies.

Meanwhile, in AZ and GA:

Hillary Clinton Is Within Striking Distance Of Donald Trump In Arizona And Georgia | Huffington Post

Hillary Clinton Is Within Striking Distance Of Donald Trump In Arizona And Georgia reads the headline, but in small, the sub-title is "But Trump is running a close race in Nevada and New Hampshire".

It is this type of reporting, or at least headline writing, which is dishonest, and it is not only liberal outlets like Huffington Post make. The Breitbart's or Drudge's of the world are just as bad. No wonder people have an innate mistrust of media.


The words themselves may be accurate, but the positioning of them is intended to appeal to people's built in prejudices. Most people do not read much more than skimming headlines.

^ Sort of a mixed bag for both. Trump on only up 1% in AZ and 3% in GA, but he's only down 1% in NV and NH. I think Trump has a better chance of stealing NV (Obama state in '08/'12) than Clinton does GA or AZ. A month ago I thought NH was a sealed deal for Clinton (one poll had her up 17%), but now it might be coming back into play.

yawn LOL

Keep dreaming. 15-20% of Americans are not undecided. Most people are disgusted with both candidates and their ridiculous obsessed followers who excuse their behavior. Sickness is not going affect her because most people voting for her are voting against Trump. Pray to all your saints that Assange can find some substance in his "October surprise" so they can find a way to make Hillary look more vile than Trump.

You obviously have never watched presidential elections if you think there is a 15 or 20% undecided group of voters.

You must be new.

Trumpettes celebrate Trump's loses all the time. Give them a break. That's all they can celebrate because he is always losing in those swing states.

Trumpette in ectasy: "Trump is losing by 5 points only wooo hooo, he was losing by 7 two weeks ago, Pop open the champagne!"

Internet poll... The poll itself says "Because the poll is conducted online and individuals self-select to participate, a margin of error cannot be calculated." Trump supporters probably overrepresented in this one, will need several other polls to confirm.

Yeah I never understand why they get excited when they are still loosing even when the margin of error is factored in. It's right up there with being excited about Clinton's high unfavorability numbers when Trump's numbers are even higher.

But I think that my favorite may be when they* get excited when the difference is within the margin of error. They always take it to mean that the error will go in their direction and never seem to acknowledge that their candidate could be losing by more than the stated number.

*Actually both sides are guilty of this
