Quote:The latest poll I read about shows Donald Trump is leading Hillary Clinton safely within the margin of error. I need to see a difference completely outside the MOE to believe such reports.
So, Hillary up by 11 was believable because it was outside the margin of error?
Quote:LOL Are they reporting who the write-ins are?
I read John McCain will vote for Lindsay Graham.
I was talking about the write-ins voted in this poll. I have no idea who they are for.
So, Kasich votes for McCain and McCain votes for a Graham. Maybe Graham will vote for Kasich to complete the circle of idiocracy.
Quote:So, Hillary up by 11 was believable because it was outside the margin of error?
Any network reporting a double digit margin should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

The latest poll I read was Trump leading by one percent in early voting results.

I would like to know how someone who ran for president this year did not know he can't vote for John McCain in his own state. That has to be embarrassing in Ohio, where registered voters know a vote for McCain won't count.

I think it's more of a symbolic vote than anything else.

It's not embarrassing, he was making a point.
Quote:When people say stuff like that, I am just curious what their background is. I have a college degree and make a good living and am supporting Trump, as is basically everybody I know. The education argument is about as weak as the racist argument.
What are you talking about? Scarecrow made a claim and I refuted it with data. End of story.
I have answered questions on my education already.

Actually, you need to go back and reread what scarecrow wrote. He wasn't talking about schooling, he was talking about people voting without knowing the issues. Being uneducated about the election, not lacking an education.
You'd thinking someone that's always trying to prove how much smarter they are than the other side would realize that...
Quote:He ain't wrong, folks.
I'm not trying to be mean but this is a big part of the problem. Voters like this.
This is a huge problem in this country (and it is not exclusive to only one party either).
Huge Masses of the population are severely under-informed about who/what party they are voting for.
Media in this country is a freaking joke. There is nothing but propaganda, lies, deflection. Scripted campaigns for parties say nothing but lies and mis-information.
These candidates could care less about any of us individually. Yet, citizens get so tied up with a particular candidate, even though that candidate could give a Rats Behind about you as an individual, except to tell you lies to garner a vote.
What a mess.

Even I understood "educated voter" has nothing to do with how long someone has been in school. As for whether I am an educated voter or not, Scarecrow has a different opinion about what that means.
Quote:Write in candidate is silly. Why even waste your time?
So I can look myself in the mirror each morning as I shave.
Tom Hanks! Tom Hanks! Tom Hanks!
Because everybody loves Tom Hanks.

How was that vote making a point if he knew it would not count?
Quote:How was that vote making a point if he knew it would not count?
His point was that there wasn't anyone on the ballot that was worthy of his vote.

What is even scarier is I know someone who is very conservative in every aspect of life but votes democrat because, and this is a quote from a man who worked for and retired from a telephone company, "the rich man never did anything for me so why would I vote for one?"
No, that rich man who owned that telephone company didn't employ you and give you good pay and benefits at all. And those democrat politicians, they all live like the people they champion. They're not rich at all. Yeah, right.
Quote:Except in this election that vote is going to Trump. This election the educated are picking HRC.

Means nothing but it's probably also the reason I think Democrats will lose this election. Universities are breeding ground for left-leaning ideologies. If you've been to one lately, then you can't doubt that. Of course they're going to show more left-leaning voting patterns.
Had Bernie been the nominee, I think the Democrats walk away with this election. He had every liberal student and young person ready to vote.

Just RINOs voting for RINOs. No surprise there.

I wrote in sanders. Hillary and trump are awful people and won't get my vote.
The dems are going to lose this election. Trump has done a better job of energizing his base. I don't think many people want to vote for her whole many want to vote for him. The left is apathetic and the right smells blood.
Quote:I'm still planning on writing in Ted Cruz..
None of the Presidential Candidates on the ballot come remotely close to being acceptable for me. Many believe it's a wasted vote. That's fine. When the dust settles, I'll be comfortable with my decision knowing I did what feels like the right thing, not what's popular or conventional.
I respect your position and agree with you 99.9%. I was thinking of either writing in a name or just not bothering to show up... until Hillary
won stole the democrat nomination.
As a conservative, I could not live with myself knowing that I didn't do all that I can to keep the Clintons out of the Whitehouse. To me the Country as well as the next Supreme Court Justice appointed is far too important. That is the only reason why I will cast my vote for Trump. For me at this point, a vote against Hillary is the right thing to do.
Quote:Any network reporting a double digit margin should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
It was only ABC, and their results have it pretty much tied right now nationally. Even the most biased of pollsters have to start giving more accurate results now that we're less than a week from the election, so this isn't surprising. If they stuck with the models they were using previously, oversampling democrats and minorities at levels that sway the results, they'd look pretty foolish on election day.

This is my stance as well.
Both are a poop sandwich. "The Donald" is a smaller portion to swallow than "The Hillary," so if it must be done it must be done.
