That’s the short take of my friend Thomas Lipscomb and I have to agree with him.
Contrary to most of the media-sponsored polls (The LA Times stands alone now calling the race a tie at last view), I agree with this one: Trump will draw in millions of voters who didn’t show up to the polls before and he will beat Hillary Clinton.
I don’t pretend to be a polling expert but note others who claim to be have said much the same thing using different statistical methodologies, including Yale Professor Ray Fair (economic models) and Emory University President Alan Abramowitz (presidential approval ratings), Politik.com predicts a landslide, noting in recent years the number of people voting for Democrats has dipped while the number of those voting for Republicans has risen......Read more
My Take - Polls smolls....baloney all around. People lie and pollsters cheat! With all the chicanery I don't know who really is at the top and I don't care, because I don't need polls to tell me what to think about anything.
I don't need polls to tell me the public believes there's too much fat and salt in MacDonald's french fries. Why? Because I don't care. I used to love their fries, but since they've stopped cooking them in animal fat and reduced the salt....they're just okay now.....so why did they change? Polls! The anti-everything activists hounded them into this.
Many years ago I was called by one of the large polling companies and asked if I ate fast foods. I said yes. They asked how often I ate them and did I think they were healthy. I said three to five times a week and no, I didn't think they were healthy. They then wanted to know why I ate fast foods if I didn't think they were healthy. I said because they were fast, hot, tasted good and were cheap. They kept pushing the health angle wanting to change my opinion, and I kept giving them the same answer. I just didn't care about their supposed health concerns. It seemed to me it wasn't long after that MacDonald's changed how they cook their food....and I assume all the others did also.
Polls are a viper in the fruit bowl......why is that so hard to understand. Did everyone else, or anyone else for that matter, tell them the truth? What's the truth? The truth was in the economics. If people really believed fast foods was that unhealthy they wouldn't have bought them, and we wouldn't have a fast food joint on every corner. But the polls told a different story.
Polls are a viper in the fruit bowl, and are used to influence the weak minds that surround us. Weak minds? Yes!
Think about this. How often have you seen 10% of the voting population claim to be undecided right up until the day of the election? With all the information available to the public these days - how can anyone who can read, write and work basic math be undecided past the first days candidates announce themselves unless they're weak minded?
And I include the willingly ignorant among that group. Ignorance means they just don't know. And why don't they know? Because they don't want to know. That makes them weak minded.
Then again....I'm not sure who're the most weak minded. Those who choose ignorance and are undecided or those who blindly follow leftists while knowing exactly how flawed they are, or how flawed they may be in the future. But make no mistake about this - we're surrounded by the weak minded!
Oh, one more thing. That poll interview was about 30 years ago and I no longer believe there are health issues caused by fast foods. Why? Because I started looking into the facts for myself. The problem isn't the foods themselves. The problem is in eating too much food.....and who makes that food is immaterial.
