Republican party follies

Here is an example of how much of a catastrophe Trump's failure really is:

If you dig a bit deeper into the Washington Examiner article, you'll find the data came from the Florida Division of Elections which includes the following disclaimer in regards to their data:

DISCLAIMER: The Florida Third Party Voter Registration (3PVRO) database is not intended, nor should it be used, as a source for Florida voter registration statistics. The 3PVRO database reflects the cumulative number of voter registration applications submitted by a 3PVRO to the state since the time of a 3PVRO’s registration. Please note that a voter application submitted by a political party does not necessarily translate directly into a voter registered for that party as all 3PVROs must collect and submit registrations regardless of party affiliation.

However, you can look at the early voting data from the same site and get a different picture of what is really going on in Florida:

Ironic and sad that "Gadsden County, FL" is strongly favoring Hillary so far on the early votes.

I'm voting for theGinsue this year anyways. I'm hoping maybe cstone is in the ticket as well.

theGinsue for president

You know, I've considered getting into politics to fix the broken shit. If I thought I could beat the system and get into any political office that could lead to the Presidency or even Congress, I'd do it - and I'd take many from this site with me. I don't always know th right answer to a situation but I know plenty of folks here and elsewhere who'd be tremendous staff/cabinet members. (Cstone could have any position in my administration he wants.)

The trick is getting on the ticket. Given that I'm not an establishment party member, that'd be essentially impossible. So, I just sit by and watch the establishment continue to take our country down the toilet.

This!!

Your post sounds like a summary of CNN and MSNBC political news hour. Do you really believe them?

Let's see if the worm turns after these slew of WikiLeaks makes its way across social media...

[davsel]

Rallies are exactly votes. Everything else is manipulated and "reported" by the media - who is in bed with Hillary. Polls? Really?
The only numbers that we can be reasonably certain of are primary votes, rally attendance, and registered voters. Trump is breaking all records in each of these. Hillary's numbers are pathetic across the board.
If Trump makes it to Nov 8th, he can't lose.

Guess we'll see what happens in 28 days.

No, rally attendance shows that there are a bunch of people want to see the circus. It does not tell us how many people are going to vote in the general election.

In 2012, I had convinced myself that the polls were undercounting GOP votes. And the last four years of President Romney's administration proves I was right.

You're not the only one. I listened to all the experts like Dick Morris who kept insisting the polls were doing this or that or weren't accurate for one reason or another. Turns out the polls weren't accurate. Obama won bigger than all the polls said he would. I believe the polls this time. I hope I'm wrong...but I think Trump is gonna lose big. Probably by 8 or 10 points. As it stands now, anyway. A lot can happen in 28 days.

My suspicion is that the polls now and in 2012 WERE undercounting GOP votes ... but that's because they have to rig the polls so that they line up with the rigged election results.

OR, America is dead and full of dumbasses



As for the size of the crowds at the rallies, all those measure is enthusiasm ... an enthusiastic vote for Trump counts just as much as an "oh well I guess I'm voting for Hillary".
