Oh yeah, it turns out the polls had been right all along.

Same thing will be true THIS TIME AROUND TOO.

Of course, and if and when he hopefully loses the election, you'll say that was "cooked" too.

I've seen cults removed from reality, but this is unbelievable.

The candidate Trump is making enemies left and right of EVERYONE. He is rude and insensitive, he lacks knowledge on major issues, he's thin-skinned and immature. He's attacking members of his own party--duh. He is in no way acting presidential, and when people act like spoiled immature bullies, the electorate cannot picture that person in the WH. Why anyone would think this is the way one wins an election is beyond me.

The media? They just put the camera on him and let him talk. Cook the polls? What does that even mean, and why are the polls being questioned this week? Last week there was a headline thread every time the guy went up one point in a state poll.
I wish I could rep this post a hundred times.

No one is cooking the polls.

These are all polls of likely voters, meaning they have decided that they are not going to sit home and not vote.

That means they dont have the option of "neither" isnt a choice they will have.

Trump is already saying that - probably because he knows his goose is cooked.

I think is a compound effect of the convention bump and the awful week that trump had, the talk of intervention, the Ryan thing. The interesting thing is how trump reacts, he is such a volatile person that I don't think the long view is his forte, clearly he had to stay low key and such to his core message but he seems incapable of doing that, IMO he was always more prone to self destruct than lose the election.

You mention the Saudis and you are a Clinton supporter. That is hilarious.

Hillary is bought and sold by the Saudis. They are large contributors to the Clinton Foundation; as a result, despite gross human rights violations, Hillary never says anything negative about them.

Yes................. ALL of our enemies would love Hillary for POTUS. One wonders, as a dem, about your loyalties when you are on the side of our enemies.

As of this date, the polls that matter, are showing that Romney is ahead, and early voting is also favoring Romney. Among independents, there is no contest; Romney wins handily.

Romney is going to take Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa. He already has Florida sewn up, and Virginia. I believe it's going to be a landslide for Romney.

But, what will happen is that since so many polls that Democrats are touting show Obama ahead, the Democrats will claim "voter fraud" and file lawsuits. They won't believe the actual vote talley, because they think Obama is ahead. Watch for it.

PS - I think you have the most unintentionally ironic name in these forums.

Donald Trump has never even met Vladimir Putin. They don't know each other.

Hillary on the other hand made sure the Russians gained control over one fifth of the global Uranium market. Oddly, Uranium One, the company that benefitted from this made 2.35 million dollars in donations to the Clinton Foundation during that period.

Hmmmmm...

Trump says he never met Putin, but here's when he said the opposite - Business Insider
