This is why polls crack me up.

I remember in 2016 that all the polls had Hillary ahead of Trump even on election day - except one. I'd been watching that one for the last few weeks before the election (the only time I actually watch polls) to see which ones would be most accurate. It's no surprise that they all "tighten up" towards election day, as if a bunch of voters change their mind in the last days.

Anyway, this one poll was decreasing Hillary's lead every day until, the day before the election, showed Trump ahead. But then a crazy thing happened. An hour later it showed Hillary ahead, barely. They had actuallly changed their poll results for that day. If only they hadn't, they would have been the one that got it right.

Yawn, I'm sure there's a point in there somewhere, Biff. Try harder.

"President Trump’s incendiary responses to racial injustice protests and the coronavirus pandemic have left him politically isolated and profoundly weakened less than five months from the election, raising alarms among many Republicans about the party’s prospects in November.

A raft of fresh polling nationally and in battleground states shows Trump losing ground to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, a precipitous slide that has triggered deep distress within the GOP about the incumbent’s judgment and instincts, as well as fears that voters could sweep the party out of power completely on Election Day.

Trump’s ability to shape cultural flash points also appears to have ebbed, as some Republican leaders and legions of large corporations are openly supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, despite risking retaliation from the White House." WP

continued - https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...940_story.html

Looks like the angry orange boil on the GOPs hindquarters is freaking out the beancounters at the RNC.

They should be worried. Remember Pete Wilson and what he did for the GOP in California?

“There’s no middle ground to run to anymore,” said Brendan Buck, a former top adviser to the past two Republican House speakers, Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and John Boehner of Ohio. “I continue to believe that there’s really no political upside to running away from [Trump]. You gain nothing and you raise the ire of not just the president but people who support him.”
So instead of doing the right thing, they choose the coward's route. Typical Repubes. SMH

Their acrid flopsweat is all they have left. I find it amusing that the more radical conservatives have pulled up stakes and skedaddled to the deepest of the moocher redstates.

I was expecting that, this is why his running mate will be critical in many respects, including responsible succession if he becomes incapacitated.
That's what killed McCain's chances.

Yep. First time in our country's history where it's not even hidden that the candidate is a placeholder for the VP. A Back door entry of a presidential candidate, if you will.

How low can you go?
