Polls don't mean chit.

You can go out and find a current poll that says exactly what YOU want it to show on either side of the isle.

Pollsters realize that the person/organization that is paying for the poll usually likes to have the poll reflect what they are looking for and if you give them a poll that they like , they'll be back next week for another one.

Polls, like just about everything else in today's society, are rigged to make a buck.

They shouldn’t be counted until election day. Too many opportunities for fraud before then, especially by the Dems.

I have two (extremely light-hearted) objections to your post:

1) how can you watch Shep Smith?
2) even in jest, saying “bigly” bothers me, because whenever Trump says “big league” it is misquoted as “bigly” by his detractors who wish to advance the narrative that Trump is dumb, inarticulate, and uses words that don’t exist. It used to embarrass me when Bush said “nucular” instead of “nuclear” - but in that case, it was true. It would embarrass me if Trump said “bigly”, but he doesn’t - he’s saying “big league”!

Yeah.. at one point they claimed Carter had a 30 point lead on Reagan.

Election day proved that to be a complete fabrication in hopes of influencing voters to vote for Carter.

Nothing wrong with Trump's language. It's that Queens accent.

Bigly is in the dictionary.

If they think we will steal the election then they need to put in voter ID at all polling stations! lol

I’m hoping Trump will try to do something with Voter I.D.; making it mandatory, just like a driver’s license, could be a winning strategy.

Then, all we have to worry about is people making phony I.D. cards .. LOL

Perhaps so, but no serious writer, editor, or English professor would consider ‘bigly’ acceptable, unless used in the dialogue of a character who was not intended to come off as being the least bit intelligent.

In any case, I am VERY glad Trump doesn’t say ‘bigly’, as it would make him sound illiterate. He is saying “big league”.
