Yes, straw polls are meaningless these days. Many things are meaningless these days. In other news, “trump has now declared war on whistleblowers” in a recent headline. Well, of course he has. And if anything, the media is understating the situation with trump.

Another great tweet on this page by Roland. This one concerns the fact that THREE top ranking people (except one didn’t make it past the nomination process— whew—) in this administration were accused of domestic violence! Reading the accounts of this were chilling. Was this the best our country really had out there, even among the rich white male pool trump loves to choose from?

Polls and surveys are notoriously unreliable. People lie to the polster or survey taker – particularly, if they are on the phone or internet and therefore can’t be seen.

The voter will say one thing, and then, in the privacy of the confess….er… the voter booth, will do the opposite !

They don’t want their neighbors to know that they secretly support that person running for office, who their friends think is a jerk !

I’m pretty sure it’s “goo goo g’joob,” as in “I Am The Walrus.”
