Unscientific, therefore meaningless.

Maybe unscientific but definitely not meaningless.

There is only one poll that actually matters.
It will be taken on November 8th.

It means a bunch of twitter users clicked on Trump. What is their motive/demographic/age/location?

To me it's not the fact that Trump is winning. It's that Clinton, Johnson and Stein are virtually tied. That tells me that Johnson and Stein are going to take more votes from Hillary than Trump.

jdandns · 08-18-2016, 08:57 PM

Anyone want to take a stab at the final popular vote percentages?

I'll start:

Clinton 50%
Trump 32%
Johnson 12%
Stein 4%
Other 2%

Timmay · 08-18-2016, 09:02 PM

I'll play

Trump 42%
Clinton 37%
Johnson 15%
Stein 4%
Deez Nutz 2%

Or...and this is crazy...

Stein/Johnson/Clinton supporters don't use twitter/didn't see the poll/don't follow whomever created the poll.

Again, no meaningful conclusions whatsoever can be drawn and therefore the poll is useless. Amusing, but useless.

Hillary Clinton 8.37m followers.
Gary Johnson 299k followers.
Jill Stein 212k followers.

Try again.

I don't know if I'm more concerned about Deez Nutz rising or dropping in the polls.

I'd be more concerned about Nutz dropping.

Given the trend of the aggregation of every scientific poll out there, the drastic difference between this social media poll and other real polls demonstrates its irrelevancy.

jdandns · 08-18-2016, 09:24 PM

Ah, let 'em have it, Addison.
It'll be that much sweeter when the real vote comes in.

Maybe not acceptable in your your eyes but absolutely not unconstitutional.

Can anyone tell me if Obama has visited the hundreds of thousands suffering after the Louisiana floods? This guy gets away with anything because the liberal voter base is blind. He's golfer twice this week and took time out to visit at high end Hillary Clinton fundraiser. Disgusting if you ask me.

You seem to be all over the Obama stalking, why are you asking us if he has visited Louisiana?

That's why cd7 is asking a question to which he already knows the answer?

What is Obama supposed to have done? Wave his magic wand?

Didn't the Bush administration catch a bunch of #$%^ for "not trying hard enough" during Katrina? He can at least acknowledge the disaster.

Let's face it. The people of America handle disasters a little differently depending on locale.

Wait, is Louisiana the same state where the governor statedstated that he's been in contact with the White House every day, he's more than pleased with the support, and glad that the president hasn't come?

Why?

The absolute drain in police and public services anytime a president visits. The police have more important things to do rather than prep for and shuffle around a president while people are struggling and need their help.

Good grief, it's tired.

We get it...you hate Obama. Yawn. The dude isn't a saint, but this petty, halfwit whining is comical at best...sad and inane at the worst.

Well why did all the liberals complain about Bush for the same exact things? And all that money given to those displaced from Katrina....well we should get into the waste and fraud. But....that will just offend the softies...

13 dead in this flooding versus over 1,800 in Katrina is not an insignificant difference.

That wasn't complaining. THIS is complaining:

This is what Obama's been up against for going on eight years:

"A third of Louisiana Republicans blame Obama for the slow response of President Bush during hurricane Katrina."

A Third Of Louisiana Republicans Blame Obama For Hurricane Katrina Response Under Bush

Damned if you do.
Damned if you don't.
Damned even if you couldn't possibly have.

During the onset of Katrina, Bush was famously playing (fiddling with, if you like) a guitar given to him by a country singer at his ranch on Texas during one of his own numerous vacations. Later, amid a wide outcry over his lack of interest in a national disaster, he flew over the catastrophic scene for a photo op showing him looking out a window all worried-like at the devastation below before heading back home to clear more brush and muse over the meaning of his dog Barney gettin' up after another armadillah...

Obama has been the Jackie Robinson of Presidents thanks to this pointless obstructionism and dull criticism of today's GOP and will be equally beloved years from now for repeatedly rising above those selfish detractors, to the betterment of our country. Yup, someday 44 will indeed equal 42.

In the current matter, Obama will expedite the help that is needed to Louisiana without politics, a seemingly novel idea after the era of Bush, sadly, and does not be to be there personally to distribute water and coordinate rescues as it seems you would like him to be, cruiser.
He does still have that bigger picture job to do.

If Hillary wants to win, she needs to hammer home one thing:
This is to be Obama's third term, the continuation of the robust Progressive agenda he has advocated, and then follow through with it. Finish the job, Hillary. You can have your own term in 2020.

Me, I've got some cards and comics I'd rather be talking about, but do enjoy the heapin' bowls of conspiracy soup du jour, served here piping hot daily, and the extra salty crackers, all you can eat.

I'll be back here to celebrate a wise decision on election day.
Until then, DNC lapdog out...
