Post by: Sauce on April 21, 2016, 08:39:16 PM
Guess there not generally all that accurate, but its what we have to look at.

Pence better come through with a endorsement

I thought he didn't care for Trump? He's not looking at Kasich is he?  :scared:

As long as we're discussing Indiana RINOs,
I still have a burr under my saddle about
the RINOs ditching Richard Mourdock for Senate in 2012
and handing that seat to the Democrats.

The RINOs threw him under the bus for his "gaffe"
of saying that a child produced by rape can still be a blessing.

If that was such a "gaffe"
how is it that, at the same time,
a pop song that said essentially the same thing
was a top ten hit?

   Lyric from "Some Nights" by Fun:

"My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
Man you wouldn't believe, the most amazing things, that can come from,
Some terrible nights"

Wow, it's as if Politico has resorted to creating news.

"Three different groups, not affiliated with the presidential campaigns, that have surveyed the state recently provided results to POLITICO on condition that they be shared anonymously."

Now what would be the purpose of keeping such information private?
How would Trump benefit from creating three obscure groups? Hmmm

Of course they want to make it sound like it's a tight race - they got papers to sell, web links to click on.
It's the internal campaign polling that counts, if you can get it "unspun" ...  there has been this silence for 3 weeks, not a bad thing, the race is tightening up, and everyone on the inside is hush-hush.

I think Cruz to an easy victory in Indiana, and Pennsylvania a real squeaker.

A Fox News poll has recently come out for Indiana and California. Doesn't look good in CA at all but Indiana is close...

My point was that this story is bogus.
Anyone can claim they read "private polling" but refuse to reveal their source.

Like all those polling sources I refuse to divulge that shows Cruz killing Trump, but I never mention it because, you know, we're actually an honest site that demands people prove their claims.

Hear that shit, Politico?

The polls being bogus is a problem. Why? Well it's not a problem for smarter people like me and others here who know not to believe exactly what the polls say, but it is a problem for the people who don't know any better. Those people, particularly the ones still on the fence, believe the polls that show Trump having a sizable lead and either don't go vote for Cruz because they don't think their one vote will matter because Trumps "lead" is so big, or they just got and vote for Trump in an effort to try to get the race over with so the party can attempt unifying sooner.

Anyone with any real ability to think for themselves and not have the MSM do it for them would know that Cruz falling in Cali and Trump hitting almost 50% is a bunch of garbage. Unlike NY where the republicans are liberal in a majority Democrat state, the republicans in a majority Democrat Cali are actually conservative. Cali is going to be a dog fight, not a 20+ point Trump blow out like these polls are currently portraying.

You do realize that Fox is deep in the tank for Trump, right. Right now I don't trust anything coming out of the LSM. They want Hilary to win and Trump is the weakest possible opponent.

Your damn right Fox wants a Hillary win. Then they have a better chance at keeping up the ratings and try to head back to the right of things.

Fox makes all of its money with a democrat president.

Yeah, it's a scandal a minute with Democrats!  So much headline stuff, they gotta spread it out between the 4 networks!

Reminder also, y'all, that even if Trump won IN, it doesn't matter.   He still doesn't get there...

Do you think the Pence endorsement will decide Indiana one way or the other?

No. Endorsements mean little except to the candidate and the media, assuming it's a lib.

I no longer look at polls. Asking 900 people in a country of 355,000,000 loaded questions tells us nothing.

Polls had Wisconsin and Texas close too. I remember some of the polls had Cruz by +3 in Texas and I wondered who they were polling.
