"Gallup Poll Shows Americans Couldn't Care Less (Literally) About 'Situation With Russia'"
"Gallup recently did a poll of what Americans say is the most important problem facing the country. One finding: the percentage of Americans saying “Situation with Russia” is the most important problem is literally too small to represent with a number," David Sirota, a journalist at Capital and Main, said on Twitter.

And per your link, Americans are most concerned about one single topic: "Dissatisfaction with Government/Poor Leadership", BY A LARGE MARGIN!
Any one who grew up in the cold war understands how important U.S. - Russian relations are. Had Reagan followed along the liberal narrative you better believe there would have been a nuclear war! President Trump is following Reagan's diplomacy by not increasing the tension between the U.S. and Russia, but at the same time being strong. Trump, like Reagan, is practicing peace through strength. But liberals want a leader who will be hostile to Russia and start a war with Russia. That kind of approach to foreign policy will starts wars all over the world. There is no reason to go to war with Russia.
Since when did liberals all the sudden become warmongers?
There is no compromise with Putin. None. He doesn't offer peace. His goal is destruction of the US, nothing else and nothing short of that.
Saying NO to Putin doesn't mean war, he is far more intelligent than that. With that, he recognizes weakness when he sees it and takes any and every advantage of it. Trump is only a useful tool to him. Trump realizes that but is powerless to stop him, Putin knows every skeleton (of which there are many) in Trump's closet.
in short, Trump is deathly afraid of Putin because he knows Putin could totally destroy him at any time if he wished. And I'd bet Putin has told him that several times (and likely as a reminder as recently as last Monday).
Appreciate the posts about how all the polls were wrong.
They were not.
The polls accurately predicted that more people would vote for Clinton and more people did. Millions more.
What the polls didn't predict were some statistically improbably wins in four surprise swing states
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin have been reliably gone blue for a generation. Early voting had supposedly put Clinton in the win column in Florida.
But Trump won all four states with statistically improbable 1% wins. That's not how numbers work in the real world.
The is oft-repeated explanation is that "every professional pollster in the nation – despite each working independently and using differing methodologies – somehow managed to overlook the same pockets of Trump voters in these states. If such pockets did exist, they would have existed in varying sizes in each of the four states, thus resulting in different sized wins in each."
"Ask any statistician and they’ll tell you that a reasonable distribution of the results would have been Trump winning one of the states by one percent, won one of them by perhaps three percent, won one of them by two percent, lost one of them by one percent, or something along those lines. But instead the voting tallies looked startlingly different from any natural distribution. In fact they looked startlingly the same."
We learned that Russian propaganda FB ads were pushed in these states. However, Trump folks claim that such ads didn't influence their vote.
Trump folks also claim that his last minute rallies influenced voters. But really, if you weren't voting for Trump on Nov. 1st, what could he possibly say that that would change your mind on Nov. 5th?
That doesn't even make sense.
21 states had their election system targeted by hackers. The Wisconsin Election Commission stated the state's systems were targeted by "Russian government cyber actors."
We have recently learned that Russian hackers accessed DNC voter analytics.
So we have Russian hackers with information on Democratic voters targeting state election systems and four states who went for Trump by the statistically improbable 1%, just high enough to avoid automatic recounts.
The pieces are starting to fall into place and inaccurate polling is not emerging as the winning explanation here.
There ya go.
Can't wait for the day that Hillary nods at officials taking him away, saying "LOCK HIM UP!"
Can't wait for the day that Hillary nods at officials taking him away, saying "LOCK HIM UP!"
Later post quoted WaPo on how they weren't all exactly 1%, but rather varying numbers under under 1%.
Whether Trump ever gets locked up remains to be seen. Republicans seem a mighty spineless bunch.
Since nothing has been done to keep the Russians from hacking into state voter databases and they already have the DNC voter analytics, they could very well swing the elections this fall.
GWhopper This might be the most incorrect (I'm trying to be kind to you here) statement you have posted so far. Technology doesn't make investigating crimes any easier or faster. When the same technology is available to both sides, it simply raises the bar for BOTH SIDES. Gathering, aggregating, and correlating data to discover the truth is a lengthy, time consuming process made more complicated by all the illicit avenues that modern technology have opened up for criminals to use. The Justice system has not changed, the investigative and judicial process hasn't changed. If anything, technology makes it harder to find hard truth, today everything can be manipulated from images to emails to computer log files. Trying to find something that you can unequivocally claim is proof and defend it in a court of law becomes more difficult with each passing year. And throw in the Dark Web, when evidence of crime exists in that area of the net that is not indexed and practically no one is who they say they are.....Well, good luck finding it without getting drawn into someone's honey pot. Let's face it, a sitting president and his friends have access to technologies that can hide all sorts bad little secrets that investigators have to slowly tease out and piece together into a cohesive construct of events.
I may have some little experience here.
thanks for the education, I didn't know....but I disagree with you on some areas, b/c our computers systems are so much more advanced
and now we have the capability of DNA testing as well...so...?

I'm not really sure what your point is here, but I imagine its the same irrelevant "whataboutism" that Trump supports always spew forth when the facts don't support their argument. As far as Trump's guilt or innocence, nothing that happened before has any bearing on what is happening now. Just because you stole a car last week and got away with it, doesn't mean it's all right for me to steal one today.
My point was, the Dems are already screaming, impeach Trump, get rid of him, etc....and the Republicans did it to Obama, and it was done to Bush, etc...every President that gets in, seems the Opposing Party finds some bogus reason to scream impeach him...every single president...nothing new.

Same answer as number 2. The Clintons could have had a thing for choking puppies, stuffing Kittens with hand grenades, and killing Jedi younglings. (Darth Clintonus, anybody?), but that's utterly irrelevant as to whether or not Trump and/or people in his inner circle worked with Russia to illegally affect our elections or had knowledge of it and kept it quiet.
The Clintons had knowledge all right....maybe it's irrelevant, to you, but not to me....
When someone hates himself like Trump does ( and he does) he has to creat unhappyness and destruction in other people's lives so they are unhappy too
People who are constantly boasting about their success, their prowess, their intelligeance really are terribly insecure a bout those same qualities...
They can't let facts speak for themselves because the facts might not be enough, the "truth" might not agree with the self the world needs to know about...
Trump loves chaos because he loves to tear down reality and impose his idea of "order"
The fact that he will tear down that construct all too soon is just part of his psychosis
Good explanation. This has been apparent to me, how transparent he is and how obviously troubled he has been since childhood, coupled with having "gotten away with murder" all of his life.
Ya. And here Trump kept screaming about" Hillary s emails" ...and just before inauguration Trump s the one with the emails HE wanted to bury. Sleeze is thy name.
He did that a lot - claiming things "were rigged" (beforehand) and always referring to his opponent as "crooked", he was just speaking of himself.
There are a lot of people who are upset with your Trump right now. He's not getting much of a pass right now. What an idiot he is.
When Reagan met they burned cars.
They ended up liking him pretty well. You have to drag these fools by the new, into the future.
