    I don't know why they bother with polls. :rolleyes: They should have learned in 2016, when ALL the polls showed a Hillary "sweep." (And may I say, "lol.")

    It wasn't supposed to be quite made out. The guy in the avatar to my left is a Texas rancher. He's an Austin, Texas native and has a smll ranch outside Austin.
    He's also a mussician. Hss interfaced with some big wigs in the music industry, i.e. Eric Clapton, some known Jazz musicians. I was looking for some new music,
    stimbled on to him on Sunday Morning. I don't care much for his music in general but he did write a couple of songs i liked. His name is Gary Clark and i thought this
    photo would look good and controversal with some of my counter culture replies here and about.

    Exactly but politicians all regardless of what they say watch polls like a hawk watching a field mouse. The more successful keep them in a junk mail bag unless needed.

    All this talk about the polls being so bad in 2016 makes me question my memory. I thought the polls got the popular vote very close.

    The problem came in toss up states. Most polls were within the margin of error in the toss up states, and too many people just assumed those states would go the way they always used to. Even some news people don't seem to understand margins of error. Once in a while when you toss a coin 5 times it will land heads all 5 times.

    Take Michigan for example. I thought Michigan was likely to go to Trump when it went for Sanders in the primary. And the polls there were clearly trending toward Trump in the last 10 days before the election.

    If enough people say something, it becomes the way people remember it. I guess I'm just defending polls in general. I find them fascinating.

    Joe Biden could hide his own Easter eggs.

    ... and Donald Trump could call in federal troops to hunt for his.

    This Biden Quote Is So Mangled We Have No Idea What He Actually Meant

    “COVID has taken this year, just since the outbreak, has taken more than 100 year
    Look, here’s the lives. It’s just, it’s — when you think about it — more lives this year than any other year for the past 100 years,”

    Makes sense, I think, Covid probably didn't take many lives 100 years ago, since it didn't exist. Or does he mean Covid set a record for deaths 100 years ago that is just being matched? Either way, get off the poor guy's back.

    It disturbs me when I think of the upcoming presidential debates between Biden and Trump. If it is a face to face affair, then I believe it will be synonymous with someone beating up a kid who goes to school on the short bus. It might be an easy thing to do but in the end, from the public’s point of view, the person left standing isn’t the winner.

    Interesting. Not sure if I agree, though. It is important that the American people see the fitness of the candidates, including (and especially?) mental acuity. If Joe comes off looking senile, it will be sad but necessary.

    I don't want Kamala Harris in the White House any more than I wanted Sarah Palin, but my own personal Conspiracy Theories are running rampant. I'm still wondering if the debates will actually happen.

    My Deplorable t-shirt is coming in the mail soon. I'm eager to see if it upsets or pleases anyone.. Most likely very few will have a clue as to what it means.
    It doesn't mean I'm voting for Trump. I just like the controversy.

    Dwight, That is why we have the dumpster fire our nation is today!
    Because , pick one:
    I like controversy!
    I wanted to shake things up!
    Political correctness sucks
    I hate politicians
    just because I have some twisted idea
    because I am an idiot
    But go right ahead Dwight and stir the pot,shake things up. Just make sure you have a great narrative in place to let the recipients of this failed experiment know that you had their best interests at heart when you were playing your little game!
