Yougov and CNN flash polls aren't clickers. okay I see what you are saying but they are still polls I get what you are saying though still don't care, though. like I said, I will wait and see. I hardly think this thread is infested by people skewing things for trump. maybe it's because this site is mostly men | ||

Not that there's anything more that could have been done about it, and it's better than nothing at all. | ||

I think you're trying to eclipse the Trump campaign in hyperbolic speech. Is this some side-bet I wasn't aware of? | ||

Trump literally uttered the words that Clinton "would be in jail" as a result, which is a better representation of what Eichenwald said than the tweet you have quoted. | ||

That isn't what he said. He said he would order the AG to assign a special prosecutor to the Clinton case. The AG is supposed to make that decision independent of the President, based on the facts of the case. He said he is going to put her on trial regardless of the merits of the case and against the previous decisions of the people who invested her in the first place. And he also said she would end up in prison. | ||

So I take it you would not care to address the argument that complaining about the moderators in this thread is at least as ubiquitous as complaining about those complaints. | ||

That isn't' the job of the president. It isn't part of the job to decide who should be taken to trial. That is the AGs or FBIs job. Trump isn't even a lawyer, he shouldn't be never be making that call. | ||

Clinton and particularly Trump are hoping the decided voters are persuadable the other way for the good of the country. But when presented with such terrible choices, I don't know if undecided is even the right term for it. | ||

Yes the guy who despises Trump is clearly a 'Trump people' It's already that time to spin bullshit lies and discredit anyone who disagrees with you as a 'trump person' isn't it | ||

I hardly think this thread is infested by people skewing things for trump. maybe it's because this site is mostly men They aren't polls that matter in any way, shape, or form. All they are is who can make a bot to vote or who has more rabid no life followers who will actually spend their time spam voting in something completely meaningless. They're the exclusive reason things get named boaty mcboatface, why pitbull played a show in a walmart in Alaska, and the winner for a poll to name a Mountain Dew flavor was "Hitler did nothing wrong". They literally couldn't possibly matter less. | ||
