The media is doing everything that it can to promote Hillary just like they did in 1980.

My favorite Freeper of all time wrote a post that I have never forgotten. The post below illustrates how corrupt the media was in 1980 and I think that we should remember that we shouldn’t trust polls.

In memory of Common Tator:

New Battleground Poll: 0bama 45%, McCain 42%
10/31/2008, 4:53:49 PM · 74 of 119
Common Tator to agrace

I was anchoring the election returns in 1980 on my radio stations. The stations were in Ohio and I went on the air at 6:35Pm following ABC news. The ABC report at 6:30 said the race was too close to call and it might be morning before we knew who would win.

An AP story that cleared the wire at 6:33PM said the race was very close. It concluded it might be many hours and returns from the west coast, whose polls would not close for 3 more hours, would have to be counted to determine the winner.

I went on the air at 6:35PM and went to our four reporters at the major boards of elections in our coverage area. It was mostly just to introduce them to the audience.

By 6:39PM I was telling my audience what that the election was very close and it might be morning before we knew who our next president was going to be.

My producer handed me a note at 6:39:30PM telling me to join the ABC network at 6:40Pm.. They were going live from Plains Georgia where Jimmy Carter was going to concede to Ronald Reagan.

I felt like and idiot with egg on my face. I later found out that Carter had informed the networks and AP that he was going to concede at 6:40Pm before the polls closed. Carter had been told the previous evening that he was going to lose. That was the same time Reagan’s pollsters told him there was no way he was not going to win. The media knew that too but did not print or air what they knew.

When the networks and AP were saying the election was too close they already know Reagan was going to win big time.

Later that year I talked to Pat Buchanan and he told me he was working at CBS. They had heard that both campaigns internal polls showed Reagan the big winner. Pat went to lunch early so he would be back at work when the first exit polls came in. When he came back he said it was like walking into a room where everyone’s mother had just died. That is when they learned the exit polls and the Carter and Reagan polls all agreed that Reagan was going to have an easy victory. That was at 12 noon on election day. But at 6:30 PM on election day they were still saying that it was a very close election. They knew that was a lie.

From that point on I have been very reluctant to believe anything the AP or the MSM prints or broadcasts.

I really miss Common Tator and his insight.

Anything...can you not see how no republicans would enforce forceful removal? Seriously...Obama is insane and what would anyone do if he said he isn’t leaving?

1. Our candidate. Mr. Trump shoots himself in the foot on a regular basis and doesn’t appear to know how to regulate himself.
And yet he won the primary against 16 other challengers against all odds doing exactly what he’s been doing all along.
...
Bingo. Sanity and logic wins. Great reply.

If he’s “no longer President” .. anything is possible.

You have certain privileges as a former President, but they do not supersede the current President.

You could have him declared “insane” .. and impose the removal from office laws; or diminished capacity laws.

Obama may be around; but after all the damage he’s done to this country .. I think more people are going to be ready to see him leave .. then people will want to see him have any future influence.

And .. when Trump is sworn in .. Obama’s authority IS OVER. And, I would expect Trump to enforce it.

According to the neo-Nazi media and the GOPe traitors. Do you agree with these America-hating scum?

“Trump is not my guy...”

Free Republic is Trump country, in case you hadn’t heard. You might want to check that sort of talk at the door.

Trump MUST be willing to imprison a lot of people. When Bush came to D.C. in 2001, he talked about “bringing a new tone to Washington.” That was just rhetorical B.S. for “letting my criminal partners skate.”

Without 95% of the black vote, Soetoro would have lost.

7.Over the past 70 or so years, typically the more physically overpowering ticket wins. Trump/Pence or Clinton/Kaine? Who seems tougher to you?

Item 7 - Totally goofy.




Not so goofy is it?

Having said that, low information voters may not understand that a much greater number of white voters are responsible for putting that Islamic Communist into the White House.

I hope his narcissism will allow a resignation.

An election can be lost by one vote. It can certainly be lost by 1.5% of the vote!
