Are the FakeNews Polls a Setup for Post-Election Chaos?
American Thinker ^ | October 19, 2020 | Brian C. Joondeph

With the 2020 Presidential election a few weeks away, opinion polls dominate the news, unlike real news of one of the candidates and his family involved in a massive pay-to-play scandal, selling US interests to hostile foreign governments, dutifully ignored or censored by cable news and social media giants. Polls show Joe Biden ahead by double digits, portending a landslide victory the likes of which we haven’t seen since the electoral tsunamis of Nixon and Reagan decades ago. If the polls are to be believed, Trump should be packing and preparing for life as a private citizen come late January. Here are a few examples. A CNN poll from early October gave Biden a 16-point lead over Trump. An Opinium and Guardian poll from days ago doubled down on CNN showing Biden with a 17-point lead. Even Rasmussen Reports, one of the most accurate pollsters in 2016, showed Biden leading Trump by 5 points this week, a drop from 12 points last week. The Real Clear Politics poll average shows Biden up by 9 points, sampling a number of recent polls giving Biden a lead of 7 to 12 points, no poll showing Trump ahead. By comparison, Clinton had a 5 to 7-point lead in the same RCP poll average four years ago. One can only assume it’s lights out for Trump’s reelection. One might argue over the polls themselves, as I have written about frequently. Are the polls of simply registered voters or likely voters? By how much have they oversampled Democrats? How are the poll questions worded? If the polls are correct, a ticket of two unlikeable and corrupt candidates, with resumes of no accomplishment other than self-enrichment through financial or sexual services, are about to win an historic blowout election. What if they are wrong?

Interesting article. These poll numbers could be nothing more than Democrats saying Trump stole the election.

They say the election is going to go on for months. I don’t think so. In two weeks from now, Biden will not be someone people will want to be caught fighting for.

The interesting thing will be if the polls taper their margins the closer they get to the election. I think we’ve started to see some tapering. But we are already just 16 days out.

If they plan to support chaos, then expect them to double down on the wide margins.

That’s been my thinking.

“The polls told us Biden would big win, but he lost, ergo there must be election fraud. We will show our indignation by looting, screaming incoherent bumper sticker slogans and burning down a pizza parlor.”

Bingo! I’m surprised it’s taking so long for people to open their eyes.

The FakeNews enemydia polls are NOT a “setup for post-election chaos.” Following President Trump’s reelection, the enemydia and the Demonicrats (including Demonicrat governors and mayors) will engage in post-election TREASON.

It would seem that a barage of pictures of both candidates rallys would be convincing that nothing was stolen.

Yes, the left is setting up their useful idiots for a nation wide tantrum when sleepy Joe and the Ho lose. I believe there is foreign money behind it. They want President Trump and his administration focused on and distracted by numerous and continual domestic issues and crisis. That way these foreign actors will have a freer hand to do what they want to do.

If you want to find foreign influence and interference in our election and in running the Country, look to the left.

Its the Alinsky way.

Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

But there will be such a landslide for President Trump that they will merely whimper before continuing their sordid activities, destroying the Dem party further.

After the election PDJT will clean and reorganize the DOJ, FBI, CIA, and the JCS at he “bentagon.”

No,certainly not.However,mail in voting is ABSOLUTELY a setup for chaos.There have been a million signs proving that,perhaps the most blatant one having been ILLary's recent proclamation that Plugs should not concede under ANY circumstances.

Another is that both Jimmy Carter *and* Debbie Wasserman Shultz are oN record...FORCEFULLY on record...as saying that mail in voting is a recipe for fraud.And yet they both support it today.

No it is about the Electoral College.

They don’t want a representative government, they want a mob democracy.

They won’t ‘get it’ until every state turns red.

This has been my default thinking and posting for a couple months now. This is not a new idea.

BUT ... if you read LS's latest twitter (re-posted by laz and blockmon ... it's near this post) ... I think they make the case that the plan can't work because the court cases up til now and ACB's confirmation before the election squash the dems' ability to drag it out and create mere vote chaos and lawsuits.

If the Biden crime family stories start truly getting the attention they deserve, difficult for this not to be a landslide. Of course I never get overconfident ... at the end of the day we are predicting the behavior of humans who have been lied to for 4 years and are under a lot of stress from Covid. Maybe enough Americans just want to bury their heads in a nice comfortable (for now) democrat 'we'll make the pain go away' psychological valium haze.

I remember one morning as I was dropping my wife off at work @ Rice University in Houston. This was after the 2004 election. As we approached the entrance, there were protestors who looked like old hippies carrying signs that said “Exit Polls Don’t Lie!” This was in reaction to the exit polls on election day that allegedly forecast a Kerry win. Why were the protestors at Rice that day? Because Jimmah Carter was speaking at the university, and these hippies wanted Jimmah to do something about the “stolen election”.

I have wondered this. Step One - Polls show an easy Biden win. Step Two - Biden still loses. Step Three - Shout “FIX!!” riot and litigate, since the polls showed a big Biden win, and thus Trump had to have cheated.
