I don’t pay a great deal of attention to the polls until the election is only a few weeks away. However, the media loves to report them daily, and therefore mislead the American people. Polls taken by different agencies produce different results. I have learned that “Real Clear Politics” offers results closest to the truth. They average several polls; those favoring one candidate and the other, and those who are impartial. The result is closest to the truth.
Kellyanne Conway is Trump’s latest campaign manager. She is best known for her ability to conduct polls and offer accurate results. But now she’s a campaign manager who is desperately attempting to revive Trump’s failing campaign.
Real Clear Politics shows Hillary’s lead at 5.4 percent overall. But Conway doesn’t believe that figure.
“Donald Trump performs consistently better in online polling where a human being is not talking to another human being about what he or she may do in the election,” she told the UK’s Channel 4.
She claims that there are large numbers of “hidden Trump voters.” But, when asked what that number might be, she said: “I can’t discuss it,” she said. “It’s a project we’re doing internally. I call it the undercover Trump voter, but it’s real.”
That would be a first; nothing about the Trump campaign has been real to this date. He gained supporters; supporters who believed in Trump’s racism; when he promised to deport over 11 million undocumented workers and build a wall between Mexico and the United States. He is now reneging on his deportation plan, and the truth is that Congress will never approve his ‘wall.’
I just have a single question for Ms. Conway; at least for now. If the polls are incorrect now, why were they accurate during the primaries. I will admit that Trump had no competition, and the results were easier to predict, but, you must admit, they were right.
I must also tell the truth, and inform readers that if it wasn’t for excessive media coverage, Trump would not have easily defeated his rivals. The only coverage of Cruz, Rubio, Bush, or Kasich, was when they made a political gaffe.
I also have a question for readers; if Conway was promoted to save his campaign, what was the purpose of hiring Steve Bannon?
Bannon is ‘Trump times ten.’ He is one of the most extreme right wing radicals in the nation. He is openly a white supremacist, a racist, a bigot, and a homophobe. He makes Rush Limbaugh sound like a progressive.
As usual, with the Trump campaign, there are more questions than answers. The only question that matters is ‘why would anyone vote for Trump and endanger our nation, yourself, and your family?’
