yes, 2 posts and 6 random people on Twitter, LOL. Thats not a movement, its a monday night poker game.

Like others have said, the walk away argument is stupid, people do it on both sides. What makes this particular situation look bad is that none of these people ever have a history of being "Liberal" before they become famous or gain followers.

Absolutely nothing prevents me from responding to a survey and self identifying at whim.

Same deal with telephone polls.

People tend to buy into polls when the outcomes seem to validate their perceptions. When a poll outcome seems to invalidate their perceptions, they dismiss it.
Should have given you the link to Reuters, rather than the Breitbart story about it, so you could read it for yourself.

You'd rather have the far left allow radical Islam to take over the country?

Off subject I am a big Traficant fan and loved his 1 min speeches and how he would smack down both sides. Brown is a moderate {D} and a good Senator for Ohio. Kasich legislative record speaks for itself and I think he is a true fiscal conservative. Portman is just another {R} and I can't stand him. Unlike Fox I am fair and balanced
It isnt the past. the lines didnt change. Thats the problem with your argument.

If free trade is your major argument, then at best, you should be Pro Trump , but not Pro republican.

By your own logic, any Democrat, like Sherrod Brown, should get your vote over Trump.

And why exactly were you supposed to sit with the same people again? Something is not adding up here.

Might want to rethink which party is the party that supports the war machine. Click on the animation (PLAY) at this link:

We're back to believing polls I see.

Just like in 2016, the only polls that matter are the elections. We'll see what happens in a few months.
