1) Majority does not make right

2) Lots of news coming out about the corruption of...the news.

 

1) Having a sound methodology and past history of accuracy makes is very likely to be right.

2) Pollsters have every motivation to be as accurate as possible. If they're inaccurate, they become irrelevant.

2b) If the news can't be trusted, then how can you trust this news about the news not being trustworthy???

In case you missed it, Nate Cohn dove into the LA Times poll's methodolgy and data and found this:

 

How One 19-Year-Old Illinois Man Is Distorting National Polling Averages

 

That "poll" simply doesn't function in the same way that normal polling does. Being aware of the limitations doesn't mean you can't still think that Trump will win or has a better shot than the polls indicate for whatever reason, but don't let yourself be duped.

Herding happens, and so does some pollsters knowing they have crap methodology that will show big swings or outliers that will get media coverage, but when it's literally every single poll, state and national, versus one with a new and questionable methodology that can be significantly impacted by a single respondent and which even that one had it tied yesterday, things aren't exactly looking good.

This happened to Gallup in 2012, they failed so bad they got out of the horse-race polling business altogether.

And we're rewarded with an absurdly big role in a presidential debate

A judge issued a probable cause criminal summons to Chris Christie over the Bridgegate scandal. Multiple former advisers/staff have testified that he was aware of what was going on before and during the closures.

Can one of you fancy lawyer types explain the implications of "probable cause criminal summons"?

Trump Supporters: IT'S JUST WORDS

For some reason, Donald Trump is apologizing to Serbia for the NATO/US intervention to stop the genocide in the 90's.

 

 

Why in the world would he bring this up three weeks before the election? So bizarre.

Lou Dobbs tweeted out the personal contact information of one of Trump's accusers.

Gee, it sure is a mystery why women are hesitant to come forward.

 

I hope that woman has a safe place to stay and gets rid of that phone number immediately.

And people wonder why women aren't always willing to come forward with allegations.

How does this not get this idiot fired? How irresponsible.

Trump's in full-blown conspiracy paranoia land right now. (((Globalists))), (((banks))), and the media are all conspiring to stop him from making America great again.

 

If this is true, thank you Illuminati for ensuring that the fascist orange baby man does not become President.

 

He's also smearing his accusers in a way that can be perceived as a threat against anyone else coming forward.

Perceived? It's completely intentional.

Right, "implied" may have been a better word to use there.

 

Mentioned it last night, but hey everyone go and donate to RAINN if you want to help rape and abuse victims.

His supporters online aren't as subtle, they just say "Jews"

In some ways I'm worried about his cult-like base turning violent, but then I remember how they all (including Trump) pissed their pants and fled from Chicago over some protests that were more tame than what I've seen in the upper deck at a Cubs-Sox game.

Are you denying that there has been rigging in this election?
