Supporting homeopathy as a doctor? That should be criminal! Her vacillation on vaccines is as bad as Trump's perpetual flip flops.

Drop the propaganda. She supports vaccines and doesnt support homeopathy.

She also supports banning for-profit prisons and debtor's prisons and joining the rest of the civilized world and banning the death penalty. Additionally, she supports ending the perpetual warmongering in the Middle East, a national health care program and public funding of elections to reduce the influence of big money special interests in our political system.

But Jenni looks better in a bathing suit, so she has that going for her.

She panders to the alternative/woo medicine crowd, and I have no respect, regardless of her other positions, for anyone who does that. Her purposeful wording is no better than the stuff Trump feeds to the Trumapanzees.

Default Trump almost beating Hillary in Rhode Island. Unheard of.

Emerson poll finds Clinton's lead over Trump precariously thin in R.I.

Posted Sep. 7, 2016 at 4:35 PM

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A newly released poll shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by only three percentage points in one of the bluest of states: Rhode Island.
Emerson College Polling placed this headline on its findings: "Clinton Could Sweep Northeast but RI, NJ, NH Are Tight."
In Rhode Island, where Governor Gina Raimondo leads the former secretary of state's cheering squad, Clinton led billionaire Trump 44 percent to 41 percent.


Rhode Island has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984,
an election which saw Ronald Reagan win all states except Minnesota, the home
state of Democratic candidate Walter Mondale.

Just had a pollster call while I was enthralled with a sporting event on the HDTV big screen......irritated, I told him he could go **** himself, and he said "so I'll put you down for Trump".

No but seriously, I told him I wasn't interested in being part of a bipartisan poll with serial calls.

Vaccines are a personal choice. They should NOT be forced. She is a doctor and knows a hell of a lot more than you do.

Rhode Island usually votes similarly to its neighbors Massachusetts and Connecticut, so this is an odd projection given the same polling agency found Clinton ahead 17% and 15% respectively in those states. Also something to keep in mind is that only landlines were in scope for this poll, so the sample of voters may not have been representative of the state's actual electorate. I don't think it would benefit either of the candidates to invest any resources in the state.

It's not just one polling agency. I saw this early and looked up where RI stood on PollTracker which has the average of recent polls.

As of the average 11 hours ago it's Clinton 44% and Trump 41%. I know it's rather shocking.

That is the average because it is the only poll....
