Why Trump will be reelected part 2

[AC_Exotic]

100 billion cut from the deficit in first 7 months.

I know, I know, I don't like him personally either. But he is getting some stuff done.

But he is getting some stuff done.

Name the fiscal policies that he has passed through Congress or he has enacted that has contributed to the debt reduction.

Name the fiscal policies that he has passed through Congress or he has enacted that has contributed to the debt reduction.

There are MANY, and they are HUGE.

Surprised they didn't cut away.

 

[Headhunter]

Just the fact that there is someone who isn't a tax and spend liberal is President has dramatically increased economic activity which is good for tax revenue. Expensive regulations are being discarded, food stamp and other expensive programs have seen significant reductions.

This would have been front page news this time last year

If he is re-elected, it won't be because of hysterical broflake tweets like that one.

Concentration camps.

Book bans.

And now Terminator style refrigerators.

Again, name the fiscal policies that he has passed through Congress or he has enacted that has contributed to the debt reduction.

There is a clear reason btw for what we see occurring with the debt. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything Trump has done though.

The improving economy was front page news a year ago. At the time though, most on the right and the Trump campaign dismissed such news and numbers as fake and manipulated.

How soon some of you forget.

He will be re elected because people are lazy and will go with the incumbent . Also, he will get the majority of electoral votes.

My suggestion liberals is to be generous with your time and money over the next 7 years to better society because that's the best bet you have.

I disagree. At the rate we are going, barring some major adjustments from Trump, 2018 should be a good midterm for Democrats. And if Trump's approval ratings continue to remain in the dumpster without him being able to point to any legitimate accomplishments, he isn't going to sniff re-election.

2020 is still a long ways off though and there are still a lot of variables left to play out. One thing that will be intriguing to see is if Trump has a serious challenge in the primary from one candidate. Trump benefited from a fractured GOP field in 2016. Will be interesting to see how an unpopular Trump fares against just one serious Republican challenger.

Man you've really been using this broflake word a lot. What is it, some sort of cereal?

A red piller snowflake.

i.e. NZ and his boys always needing safe spaces when their nonsense gets point out and they starting whining censorship, free speech and whatnot.

35% approval. 62% say Trump is doing more to divide the nation.

Ouch.

Do you ever look at the demographic information of these polls you love so much? You seem to put a lot of stock in them as a meaningful predictor of something. Take a look at the latest Quinnipiac Poll and let me know what sticks out to you.

It's completely OK if the polls mean something to you, but you'll have to realize that some of us don't pay a whole lot of attention to them because they just really don't mean much at all to us and are often not a true reflection of the actual population. Polls are only as good as their methodology.

Says everyone after reading a poll that doesn't reflect what they want to believe is true. One can only imagine how often we would read about Trump's approval rating on this board if it was strong. Kinda like ignoring or dismissing the good economic numbers under Obama and now, all of a sudden, pointing to them since Trump is in the White House.

btw, for the record, I look at general trends when it comes to polling (i.e. Trump's dismal approval ratings right now). You can bet though that Trump and his political advisors are consistently looking at polls as are other Republican and Democratic political operatives (it means something to them). And if Trump's approval ratings remains in the 30s, he is going to continue to have a hard time getting anything done and will be in trouble come the midterms (not to mention 2020).

So no, you don't look at the actual data. You could have just posted that and saved yourself the time typing the rest of the gibberish. Hillary's awesome polling and Trump's terrible polling in 2016 say hello to you again. lol...

 

[GL97]

Yes, I looked at the actual data. Nothing stood out as a major problem that would disqualify the poll.

Hillary's awesome polling and Trump's terrible polling in 2016 say hello to you again. lol...

And Hillary's "national" popular vote win (consistent with most of the "national" polling) continues to say hello right back.

Gawd, I and the D2's love us some pole jokes pointed at the invisible ones.

While you're on a pole roll, next up is "Will-Uh-Met" wine. Coming out of chute #9 on Powder River, let 'im buck!

Don't know about anyone else but that's a Pole I'd listen to and could get behind anytime.

I like the results.

Of course it doesn't. That doesn't surprise me at all.

And how exactly can an opinion poll be disqualified? Or qualified? It's an opinion poll.

If you noticed, I never disagreed with you that polls are only as good as their methodology. There are bad polls and usually they are fairly easy to spot.

I'd adjust that pole with some biased methodology.

That is what I am saying.

Last year, good economic news was on the front page. This year, it is swept to the side by most in favor of stories of hysteria.

While I can't link up this meme with GL's postings, it still resonates. It kind of makes me laugh and pop a blood vessel at the same time.

So, since it's clear you're a boot licker, let me help you with something GL97. Just because someone questions the results of a poll doesn't mean that the person disagrees with the general sentiment of the poll. I know it's weird that some of us can actually look at things objectively without the bias of partisan loyalty, but we can.

In my opinion, Trump is not doing a good job. I've posted multiple times what I think he's doing poorly. But I do question the results of the poll based on their sampling weights and the responses within those samples. There is a bias there. It's probably a natural bias based on who is willing to take the opinion survey and not a bias in the actual methodology. That's why reputable pollsters make their methodology and raw results public, so interested folks can see the strengths and weaknesses.

Trump's approval rating in counties he won, you know, the counties that put him in the White House by way of the electoral college, is still quite strong. Remember the national polls that gave him no shot to win because they didn't account for state by state numbers? He's in the White House despite the popular vote.

If the economy is good he'll get re-elected. If not, he won't.

My point exactly. That's just about the way it's always been.
