Gonna be interesting see this same poll for each State going forward, provided CNN has the balls to keep reporting this. This is an in-person poll so much more reliable than over phone or text.
The Establishment has a real big problem. Huge swaths of the country don’t believe Basement Biden got 80M votes. And in 2020 swing states, there’s evidence of more votes cast than registered.
This is going to poison the 2024 vote. Like the Fonz, the Establishment jumped the shark.
If they called it at 7:30 central, they weren’t doing it on the basis of ANY actual votes. Every caucus in the state began at 7 PM, and there’s a set amount of routine business to go through before voting begins. Larger caucuses in the cities take longer. I don’t see how the quickest rural precincts could have been reporting any results to Des Moines before 7:45.
On the other hand, I don’t see how too-early calling of the contest could have affected the results. Everyone who wanted to vote was already at the sites, in the room, and casting their votes at the time of the announcement. Early calling did not depress turnout because this is not an all-day process like Election Day. It’s a 90-minute process occurring at 1,500 sites statewide all at once.
Of course, they called it early. The entire campaign season has been a psyop with voter suppression and interference. How can people not see the system wants Trump to be the nominee? Tonight is as bad as 2020 and 2022. This was the last stand for the Right. They had a consequential choice tonight and chose idolatry, ego, revenge, grift, marketing, gaslighting, celebrity, and the big spectacle. We lose. America is done.
We want our country back!!!! I would love to separate/divorce DC from the rest of America. All of those crooks who have enriched themselves at American citizens' expense and our tax dollars -- McConnell, Thune, Pelosi, Schumer -- republican and democrat -- you're fired, to quote a wonderful person!!!
Completely agree, Ruth. Trump crushed the field early and Nikki the Neocon was rejected and didn’t make 2nd. Donor money is going to dry up quick for all but Trump now.
I just wonder what's going to happen if Trump wins the nomination handily, but somehow they're able to remove him from a lot of ballots? I mean, at that point it's not a democracy any longer. It's a dictatorship.
Yeah, make them show who they really are. Which they're doing. I just don't know if they'll go through with it. Think it's a strategy to try and scare centrists away from voting for him.
If the lefts aim is to destroy democracy then their bluff must be called. And if they really do it then they will have destroyed this country and all the consequences that come with that.
No, we would’ve allowed it to be destroyed. Communists will be communists. We are not pushing back. Instead of backing the guy who actually does the maga, we’re choosing the guy who markets it. Bring on the spending bills, bump stock regs, surrendering to the Faucis and Pfizer’s, appointing more Wrays, Barrs, endorsing McCarthys, Ronna McDaniels, giving us 15 Days and 30 Days, poisonous jabs while bragging about it, funding The Steal! Might as well vote for a democrat if that’s what he give us.
He said he’d send more weapons to Ukraine than Biden; Appointed Wray, Barr, Bolton, and a bunch of asskissers and clowns. Endorsed McCarthy for Speaker. Endorsed Ronna McDaniel for GOP chair. Endorsed Oz and bunch of squishes who got crushed in the last elections. Signed every Paul Ryan spending bill; surrendered his presidency to the Fauci/CDC/FDA cabal; gave us 15 Days and 30 Days; gave us poisonous jab that he actually brags about; gave Pfizer and Moderna a blank check to kill us; signed the Cares Act which funded The Steal and gave us mail-in ballots; didn’t prosecute Hillary as “promised;” didn’t build a wall and have Mexico pay for it; gave Fauci an award on his last day in office; failed two tests: the riots and Covid; he has backed off his pro-life stance (he’s not pro-life), can’t say whether men can get pregnant; he’s moved to the left and actually sided with Kamala Harris; he’s gaslit his supporters the entire campaign; and he wants to build a bigger beautiful building for the FBI! Want me to go on? Now read THAT again, dick.
Apologies if I struck a nerve. Don’t need to resort to name-calling though John, that does cheapen your words. Sure, I agree Trump got some things wrong in his first go around. He totally underestimated his MIC/Establishment opposition when he uttered these words of truth from 2016 S.C. debate stage:
Then yes, he made some crap hires. He was unaware how deep the rot was/is. But he showed me that he was the first POTUS in 5/6 decades to stand up to China, not start any new wars, and try to do something about our porous southern border. I also watched the entire system try to take him out. When that happened I saw that he struck fear to the Administrative State. And if he made them fearful, why is that?
My hope is that Trump can get reelected, and he gains Congress of the same party. Then I want to see him try to dismantle a small insignificant 3 letter government agency. Show our country it (reducing size of government) can be done. If not, we’re on a slow slide to a disintegrating Republic. Our government has gotten too big, too powerful. It’s going to slowly take away our freedoms & liberties in the name of (public health, public safety, ect) Bureaucracies can’t help it but to continue to grow.
Yep, he got stuff wrong, but I think he got played on Covid and on the level of corruption in the federal government. Appealing to his ego works too. I’m still going to vote for him, he will be laser focused on end the rule by elites in this country. IMO, it’s the biggest threat to our country.
Barring a miracle, I see no scenario where an electable Republican is nominated. The only exception is if the left splits, and RFK, Manchin and West siphon off enough votes from Biden. That is not entirely impossible because of Biden's complicity in the Gaza genocide.
Right = conservatives/liberty-minded. Trap: the system wants Trump to be the GOP nominee for three reasons: they can beat him because he’s upside down with independents, who decide elections; the system fears DeSantis more than Trump because he is fearless and continually defeats communists and their woke destructive policies; and they have a plan to eliminate Trump. His DC show trials begins the day before Super Tuesday. The media will cover that 24/7 (not the campaign or the contrast between candidates and the misery). When he is convicted by a jury from pool that voted nearly single digits for trump with a corrupt judge they can start taking him off ballots in swing states (testing it now with CO, ME). 52% of Repubs said they won’t vote a candidate who has been convicted. Even if Trump makes it to the Supreme Court, his and our fate will rest with the political John Roberts and squishes Kavanaugh and Barrett - but by then, the damage has been done. When all that chaos happens, we are left scrambling. When all along we could’ve just supported the guy who embodies everything we wanted in a leader and candidate. But hey, keep worshipping the showman. How’s that worked out for us? How was that Red Wave? One person has his own personal red wave…that was Ron DeSantis.
You're right. It's been disconcerting if not traumatizing to see all of the idiocy, embodied in people who think, "Let's Go, Brandon!" epitomizes clever slogan making.
I have not been able to understand how DeSantis has not been able to break through except by admitting to myself that the people who should be thinking carefully and hard about the future of the country are too childish to do it.
Exactly. I don’t think people understand the gravity of this night. We’re done. It’s just a matter of preparing our families for the collapse and increased tyranny. I had a feeling the Maga Showman would be the death of the party and by extension our country. He’d rather burn it down for satisfy his ego.
The failure to break through is a function of who his backers are. If you look at the money, he is Jeb! 2.0. Since he has underperformed, that money is drifting to Haley. They like her better anyway since she doesn't conceal the neo-con warmongering like Ron! does.
You have to be something of a political obsessive to know this stuff, and I haven't got the belly for it.
Unfortunately for DeSantis, he doesn't have Trump's money, so if you're right about his money sources, he hasn't had much choice.
Unfortunately for those of us who do still have a vague hope of keeping the nation, Trump is a malignant narcissist who hasn't matured emotionally beyond the level of a 12 year old boy. The culture was already one of toxic vulgarity. Trump only made it worse.
Ask yourself why Trump, as just one example of his stunning lack of seriousness, didn't seal the border. He could have, you know. The President is Commander - in - Chief. Why didn't he order troops to the border? No, they didn't need to use live ammunition. The threat of water cannons and rubber bullets would have served very well.
That's just one thing. What happened to the equalizing of the tax structure which was implicit in his 2016 campaign?
That's another.
If you would like to see how a genuine national leader behaves, go to YouTube and watch President Kennedy's speech about Medicare at Madison Square Garden, in 1962. There was a man.
Trump is a brat and a ninny. Serious people should regard him with contempt. But that's my point.
Pundits wonder why Republican voters think the last election was stolen? Well it’s quite easy to explain. In 2020 swing states, there were more votes recorded than registered voters. This has come out via audits months after the election. This is fact that our MSM media ignores. By ignoring this, it is also why any conviction of Trump on charges that would never see light of day if he was not running for POTUS - will not matter to most Republican voters when they go to polls. Lie on a POTUS election and you have lost all credibility. Me thinks the Establishment is hoping that they can secure a Trump conviction somewhere very blue (like District of Columbia) and then shower the airways w/ negative Trump narrative in an attempt to siphon off enough votes to make up for all the new Black & Hispanic voters who are joining the Trump train.
Yeah, the Iowa democrats were being encouraged to crossover and vote for Haley since there was no democrat primary. But it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if a few democrats crossed over and voted for PDT! We’ll see tomorrow if any shenanigans play out. Have a good night.
Not arguing with anyone here, just stating my perhaps crazy sentiments... There was no democrat primary in Iowa for a reason, my thoughts were that dem activists were out to alter the republican primary results as they have done in the past. Forgive me if I want to wait until tomorrow morning for more results.
Expect the weather to be blamed. Haley will be congratulated as if she personally won the Battle Of Midway, regardless how bad the beatdown turns out to be.
That won’t wash. The blizzard broke 48 hours ago, and the roads have been cleared for 24. The temps improved to within striking distance of normal January cold. The weather didn’t keep any Iowan home who wanted to participate.
That's not the point. The point is to explain away a Trump victory by any means. They'll resort to witchcraft or the wrong astrological sign if that's all they have.
I feel very anxious. They robbed Trump in 2020. I have no idea how he's supposed to win in 2024 when he has none of the advantages of being in the White House and they do.
They'll steal it again and there's nothing we'll be able to do about it.
Oh Goody! 5 more years of utter chaos! With a WHOPPING 425 votes, the Republican Trump idolators are trying to turn the clock back to when the Country took a chance on a Billionaire corporate sympathizer who promised to drain the swamp but ended up drowning in it, alienating everyone he ever appointed to office and badmouthing any person who disagreed with him! We need Trump like we need another “Plandemic Lockdown”!
There you go. I doubt even the quickest rural precincts could have had vote tallies certified and reported to Des Moines by the time they’re saying the media called the result.
If one of or the most conservative state chooses Trump, who has moved to the left of RD and has zero chance of winning a general, then other states are likely to follow. Trump isn’t the best candidate (I can list reasons why). RD is the only candidate that actually DOES the maga and continually racks up wins against the communists. He’s a fearless, doesn’t give a crap what people think of him, knows how to win and govern, and understands what leadership is. I prefer that over idolatry, ego, revenge, the big show, and the grift.
Biden beating who? If you mean DeSantis, you’re making my point. They want Trump to be the nominee. Polls aren’t ranked up to three weeks (I think) before the election, which means they make polls say what they want. They’re psyops to influence behavior and perception. The reason you’ve seen few polls lately. Do you really think the pollsters will be publishing polls in favor is trump if he’s the nominee? 🤣
I was hoping Americans weren't still this stupid and easily manipulated. I guess so far they are. BUT, it's important to note that no President was ever determined by the Iowa caucus, so there's still time for people to wake up. I hope they do.
I base my decision on performance, & Trump has failed so badly in so many areas, it's astonishing that people still don't see it. And I mean UNFORCED errors, like who he's appointed and what bills he's signed. His loss was all his own fault in 2020, he's failed his constituents, and he's STILL pushing the toxic shots. Trump is only ever about Trump, no one else. Listen to him speak. He's learned nothing, so if the voters are dumb enough to make him "our" candidate, we all lose.
This MAGA/Populist voter will be voting on a different plane than you. I'm looking at a much bigger picture. For me, if you don't stand by Trump, you're perilously close to being anti-Western civilization.
Horseshit. I am a REAL conservative, as is DeSantis. Trump is not. He can't answer a simple question like "Can a man become a woman?" "Doesn't remember" giving that little cockroach Fauci and his fraudulent friends a Presidential award on his last day in office. Signed an anti-2A bill and was going to sign another (red flag), which he vocally supported until he got talked out of it at the last minute over his re-election prospects if he did. Big picture is Trump is a malignant narcissist who only cares about being adored. By whom doesn't matter, so he is easily manipulated and a Democrat at heart. There's no other explanation for how many ways he's caved to them. He's even backed off of his pro-life position, and promised to outspend Biden in Ukraine. And he deported fewer illegals than Obama. Aside from not starting any new wars, opening up pipelines and reading off a list for SCOTUS nominations, what has he done for us? 2020 was a disaster under his watch, and the culmination of his awful appointments..
I don't disagree with most of what you wrote here. However, DeSantis doesn't appear that he would be able to beat Biden. All of the polling I've seen in Biden DeSantis matchups has Biden beating him soundly. Haley is a deep state corporate cronyist warmonger. So, no way I would vote for her. I'm hoping RFK gets on the ballot in enough states to throw it to Congress.
I’m attracted to all personalities that the Administration State and its MSM organs attack. They attack because these personalities tell truths that are inconvenient to an ever growing State:
I don't think it's gonna matter much about as long as there’s a consensus on MsGooseStepping9’ wannabe. Honestly I've been tied to trying to keep pace with Ms.Paris, and let me just say that she’s hot no kidding. But exhausting as it may seem I'm so out of shape the run has been good. I need to be tested more frequently;)
The polls were pretty accurate. Given that, in the aftermath of the Red Ripple, we were told that "polling is broken", that was not supposed to happen. But closer examination (by some writer at RCP, not me) reveals that the blunting of the Red Wave was largely limited to swing states with very competitive races. It seems that all hoopla increased turnout, which always benefits Demos. (That makes more sense than views on abortion, which should have been picked up in the polling we all saw.) So if "broken" polling could speak, perhaps it would quote Mark Twain: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
I forgot to include the Missing Link: polling was not adjusted for increased turnout due to increased interest ("hoopla"). Polling always makes assumptions about turnout, and those assumptions can easily be wrong, as they were in the "Blue Wall" states in 2016.
Did the media call the vote too early? And did they call it early so people wouldn't show up?
After the last 20 years I put nothing past the media arm of the UniParty who hates Trump; Fox did call Arizona way early in 2020 et al.
As Molly Ball told us in 2021, they had to 'secure' things...
Sasha, for those that did show up, near 70% (CNN Entrance Poll) stated they think the last 2020 POTUS election was rigged.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/03/politics/cnn-poll-republicans-think-2020-election-illegitimate/index.html
Gonna be interesting see this same poll for each State going forward, provided CNN has the balls to keep reporting this. This is an in-person poll so much more reliable than over phone or text.
The Establishment has a real big problem. Huge swaths of the country don’t believe Basement Biden got 80M votes. And in 2020 swing states, there’s evidence of more votes cast than registered.
This is going to poison the 2024 vote. Like the Fonz, the Establishment jumped the shark.
If they called it at 7:30 central, they weren’t doing it on the basis of ANY actual votes. Every caucus in the state began at 7 PM, and there’s a set amount of routine business to go through before voting begins. Larger caucuses in the cities take longer. I don’t see how the quickest rural precincts could have been reporting any results to Des Moines before 7:45.
On the other hand, I don’t see how too-early calling of the contest could have affected the results. Everyone who wanted to vote was already at the sites, in the room, and casting their votes at the time of the announcement. Early calling did not depress turnout because this is not an all-day process like Election Day. It’s a 90-minute process occurring at 1,500 sites statewide all at once.
Actually some were called within a half hour.
It says it was called 8:32 ET. is that considered early? I don’t know.
It’s a huge victory. I guess polls can be right sometimes.
Probably but if so it backfired as Trump generates more enthusiasm than Ron! or Tricky Nikki. Media gets all their schemes from Acme.
😂😂😂😂🎯🎯🎯
Of course, they called it early. The entire campaign season has been a psyop with voter suppression and interference. How can people not see the system wants Trump to be the nominee? Tonight is as bad as 2020 and 2022. This was the last stand for the Right. They had a consequential choice tonight and chose idolatry, ego, revenge, grift, marketing, gaslighting, celebrity, and the big spectacle. We lose. America is done.
So what was your ideal outcome, and why?
Yup. By “here,” do you mean this echo chamber?
Finally, a dose of reality for the MSM bitches...and I mean that as a gender neutral term.
Right on!!!!!!!!!!
We want our country back!!!! I would love to separate/divorce DC from the rest of America. All of those crooks who have enriched themselves at American citizens' expense and our tax dollars -- McConnell, Thune, Pelosi, Schumer -- republican and democrat -- you're fired, to quote a wonderful person!!!
The Rich Men north of Richmond.
DC divorce won't do it. Need to separate from all the big blue cities.
I think some of the “blue states” are red states with big blue cities!
Most of them. Intrastate divorce needs to happen first. Fortunately, there is a specific constitutional provision for that.
This was a complete hammer job by "Bad Man Orange' Perhaps even bigger than expected. I see Nikki Raytheon did not do so well.
I’m delighted Trump won and happy DeSantis beat Haley.
Completely agree, Ruth. Trump crushed the field early and Nikki the Neocon was rejected and didn’t make 2nd. Donor money is going to dry up quick for all but Trump now.
As of 7 PM Pacific time with about 35% of the votes counted, DeSantis was just slightly ahead of Haley.
I hope he remains beating Haley. I’m not for DeSantis but I despise Haley.

I recommend Ivermectin and Hydroxychoroquine for TDS. Try it, it works.
I just wonder what's going to happen if Trump wins the nomination handily, but somehow they're able to remove him from a lot of ballots? I mean, at that point it's not a democracy any longer. It's a dictatorship.
Hopefully we don’t see that. But if it is in the cards, better to see them played.
Yeah, make them show who they really are. Which they're doing. I just don't know if they'll go through with it. Think it's a strategy to try and scare centrists away from voting for him.
You’re just wondering that now?
You're a bit of an asshole aren't ya? No, wondering about something does not imply that it's the first time you've thought about a thing.
Some are wondering it. Others won’t be surprised if it happens (me). Others are preparing for it.
The Right is walking right into the trap. Congrats.
If the lefts aim is to destroy democracy then their bluff must be called. And if they really do it then they will have destroyed this country and all the consequences that come with that.
No, we would’ve allowed it to be destroyed. Communists will be communists. We are not pushing back. Instead of backing the guy who actually does the maga, we’re choosing the guy who markets it. Bring on the spending bills, bump stock regs, surrendering to the Faucis and Pfizer’s, appointing more Wrays, Barrs, endorsing McCarthys, Ronna McDaniels, giving us 15 Days and 30 Days, poisonous jabs while bragging about it, funding The Steal! Might as well vote for a democrat if that’s what he give us.
John. Listen closely. Are you listening?
1) No wars
2) 25% Sec. 301 tariffs on China imports (which Biden has not rescinded and I see biz moving out of China like gangbusters as a result)
3) 3 SCOTUS appointments and revoking of Roe v. Wade
Read above again. Done? Read again.
Now, take your fear mongering and stuff it away.
You left out the following:
He said he’d send more weapons to Ukraine than Biden; Appointed Wray, Barr, Bolton, and a bunch of asskissers and clowns. Endorsed McCarthy for Speaker. Endorsed Ronna McDaniel for GOP chair.

DeSantis has higher favorability numbers. He won his state by 19% while others underperformed or lost. There is no genocide in Gaza btw.
Who is the Right and what is the Trap?

Expect the weather to be blamed. Haley will be congratulated as if she personally won the Battle Of Midway, regardless how bad the beatdown turns out to be.
That won’t wash. The blizzard broke 48 hours ago, and the roads have been cleared for 24. The temps improved to within striking distance of normal January cold. The weather didn’t keep any Iowan home who wanted to participate.
That's not the point. The point is to explain away a Trump victory by any means. They'll resort to witchcraft or the wrong astrological sign if that's all they have.
Thanks for report.
I feel very anxious. They robbed Trump in 2020. I have no idea how he's supposed to win in 2024 when he has none of the advantages of being in the White House and they do.
They'll steal it again and there's nothing we'll be able to do about it.
The Trumpster, God bless him, is kicking ass and taking names. On to the White House and saving America.
But, but Nicky's not finished surging in the polls. Can't be.
😂
Oh Goody! 5 more years of utter chaos! With a WHOPPING 425 votes, the Republican Trump idolators are trying to turn the clock back to when the Country took a chance on a Billionaire corporate sympathizer who promised to drain the swamp but ended up drowning in it, alienating everyone he ever appointed to office and badmouthing any person who disagreed with him! We need Trump like we need another “Plandemic Lockdown”!
Vivek says he was left off the ballet.
Vivek was on the ballot.
Now endorcing Trump

Well, we’re just turning in our ballots here in Boone County.
Thank-you for braving the weather to be there in person, Breed.
It was great. I never miss the caucuses. It’s a splendid process, and I feel honored by the opportunity to participate.
There you go. I doubt even the quickest rural precincts could have had vote tallies certified and reported to Des Moines by the time they’re saying the media called the result.
Also Ran Ron is the first loser! Lol.
Ok, simp.
FANTASTIC! I will sleep better tonight.
Although, my heart does belong to the popular #KirnTaibbi2024 ticket.
Love them but that would be a uniparty ticket. 😂
Vivek dropped out, endorcing Trump

When the story includes whether you won all 99 counties or merely 98/99, it’s a good night.

Hey Sasha, thanks for posting the news and having developed the community to tee up the robust conversation also. Well done and appreciated.
i was so certain Mr. Trump had it, I never bothered to watch. [Insert yawn here]

So mature, simpboy.
Well, that was easy.
And definitive. 😂
If Iowa grabbed its ankles, we’re done. Congrats, idolaters. Prepare for impact.
If one of or the most conservative state chooses Trump, who has moved to the left of RD and has zero chance of winning a general, then other states are likely to follow. Trump isn’t the best candidate (I can list reasons why). RD is the only candidate that actually DOES the maga and continually racks up wins against the communists. He’s a fearless, doesn’t give a crap what people think of him, knows how to win and govern, and understands what leadership is. I prefer that over idolatry, ego, revenge, the big show, and the grift.
Do you mean R2D2?
And every poll I've seen of him for the past couple months has Biden beating him soundly.
Biden beating who? If you mean DeSantis, you’re making my point. They want Trump to be the nominee. Polls aren’t ranked up to three weeks (I think) before the election, which means they make polls say what they want. They’re psyops to influence behavior and perception. The reason you’ve seen few polls lately. Do you really think the pollsters will be publishing polls in favor is trump if he’s the nominee? 🤣
Who replies to polls anymore?! By phone or text they are wildly unreliable.
I was hoping Americans weren't still this stupid and easily manipulated. I guess so far they are. BUT, it's important to note that no President was ever determined by the Iowa caucus, so there's still time for people to wake up. I hope they do.
Hope spring eternal for your stupidity to turn itself around, Sweet Mama. All aboard the Trump train!
I base my decision on performance, & Trump has failed so badly in so many areas, it's astonishing that people still don't see it. And I mean UNFORCED errors, like who he's appointed and what bills he's signed. His loss was all his own fault in 2020, he's failed his constituents, and he's STILL pushing the toxic shots. Trump is only ever about Trump, no one else. Listen to him speak. He's learned nothing, so if the voters are dumb enough to make him "our" candidate, we all lose.
This MAGA/Populist voter will be voting on a different plane than you. I'm looking at a much bigger picture. For me, if you don't stand by Trump, you're perilously close to being anti-Western civilization.
Horseshit. I am a REAL conservative, as is DeSantis. Trump is not. He can't answer a simple question like "Can a man become a woman?" "Doesn't remember" giving that little cockroach Fauci and his fraudulent friends a Presidential award on his last day in office. Signed an anti-2A bill and was going to sign another (red flag), which he vocally supported until he got talked out of it at the last minute over his re-election prospects if he did. Big picture is Trump is a malignant narcissist who only cares about being adored. By whom doesn't matter, so he is easily manipulated and a Democrat at heart. There's no other explanation for how many ways he's caved to them. He's even backed off of his pro-life position, and promised to outspend Biden in Ukraine. And he deported fewer illegals than Obama. Aside from not starting any new wars, opening up pipelines and reading off a list for SCOTUS nominations, what has he done for us? 2020 was a disaster under his watch, and the culmination of his awful appointments..
I don't disagree with most of what you wrote here. However, DeSantis doesn't appear that he would be able to beat Biden. All of the polling I've seen in Biden DeSantis matchups has Biden beating him soundly. Haley is a deep state corporate cronyist warmonger. So, no way I would vote for her. I'm hoping RFK gets on the ballot in enough states to throw it to Congress.
I’m attracted to all personalities that the Administration State and its MSM organs attack. They attack because these personalities tell truths that are inconvenient to an ever growing State:
Julian Assange
Edward Snowden
Donald Trump
The train to extinction. Congrats.
Choo-choo! Well use the fear you're peddling as fuel.
Choo-choo! All aboard, baby. I put on The Allman Brothers - “"Revival"
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you hear it? Love is in the air.
We're in a revolution. Don't you know we're right.”
any updates on Chris Krispy's performance?
He’s pulling in 0.1%, enough for a donut hole
I don't think it's gonna matter much about as long as there’s a consensus on MsGooseStepping9’ wannabe. Honestly I've been tied to trying to keep pace with Ms.Paris, and let me just say that she’s hot no kidding. But exhausting as it may seem I'm so out of shape the run has been good. I need to be tested more frequently;)
So entertaining with Matt and Walter! And fun to see your name pop up in comments!
The polls were pretty accurate. Given that, in the aftermath of the Red Ripple, we were told that "polling is broken", that was not supposed to happen. But closer examination (by some writer at RCP, not me) reveals that the blunting of the Red Wave was largely limited to swing states with very competitive races. It seems that all hoopla increased turnout, which always benefits Demos. (That makes more sense than views on abortion, which should have been picked up in the polling we all saw.) So if "broken" polling could speak, perhaps it would quote Mark Twain: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
I forgot to include the Missing Link: polling was not adjusted for increased turnout due to increased interest ("hoopla"). Polling always makes assumptions about turnout, and those assumptions can easily be wrong, as they were in the "Blue Wall" states in 2016.
