Pense will have no choice but to decapitate TRUMPLIGULA! and reclaim AMERICA! for JESUS! and prepare the way for APOCALYPSE! and RAPTURE!
But before that happens, can I make a quick stop at Chilis for the fajita special. I need to be home in time to watch TEEN MOM.
This is life in the early days of a Trump presidency: economic shock, international instability and constitutional crisis as Trump makes the presidency his plaything.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Anyone that reads this has to admit to some level, that this is garbage and understand some of the push back against the media.

President Trump Revealed He 'Never Knew We Had So Many Countries'
Beginning his Asian tour Saturday after touching ground in Japan, President Donald Trump detailed his high regard for the relationship between him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe - and his apparent lack of knowledge about the number of countries in the world.
"So my relationship with Shinzo got off to quite a rocky start because I never ran for office, and here I am," Trump said at the dinner. "But I never ran, so I wasn’t very experienced. And after I had won, everybody was calling me from all over the world. I never knew we had so many countries."

My case is that the polling was proven to be inaccurate
The electoral college vote was a blowout. The popular vote is irrelevant. Accurate polling should have predicted the result.
My point is that as a barometer and indicator of voter sentiment , the media and the pollsters they used dramatically discredited themselves in the 2016 elections.
It was proven, over and over and over and over.

And your point is clearly wrong. The data shows it to be absolutely incorrect.
the popular interpretation of polling prior to the 2016 election was that Hillary had it locked up
It is entirely revisionistic to claim that the polling data was ambiguous
As I recall, none of the polling organizations came out to contradict this consensus

This is correct. The interpretation overstated the actual lead Clinton had.

Nope--smart people like Nate Silver said that before the election.

That's because polling companies do polls and put out the results. They don't interpret the polls or construct models based on the polls. Your beef is with the idiots that didn't realize a 3% swing towards Trump in a few select states (which i...
No , polls can be, and often are, constructed to favor a particular outcome. That’s what happened in this case.

All evidence to the contrary.
The polling error nationally was well within historical norms as I showed.
There was a much larger group of undecided voters than normal
Trump had been gaining for the last 3-4 days in almost all polling data.
When you look at the big picture, the result shouldn't be that surprising. Only because the idiots making the models gave such ridiculous odds was it so surprising.
Less than 63 million out of 320 million citizens.
That’s not even 20% of the population.
What’s more likely is that after distorting polling results for the entire election year, the pollsters were attempting to save a scrap of face by calling it close near the finish. The electoral vote was 306 to 232. Not really very close either. The pollsters bear some blame.
So, you're going to tell me there are 10% - 15% MORE Dem voters in the country, because this is what was being reported in the methodology in your so called "accurate" polls in 2016?

Come on Joey the TROLL. I outlined these issues over and over during the election. Why can't you just admit your Tribe is a bunch of dishonest people?
An unraveling and self destructing Democrat party whose entire focus is to obstruct Trumps agenda?
Trump is demonstrating strong leadership against massive odds

Didn't Republicans turn obstructionism into a fine art form over the previous 8 years? Seemed to work OK for them, right?

What exactly is he leading on?

Sadly, this sounds about right to me.
