According to Gallup, 26% of Americans identify as Republican.
What kind of difference do you think an additional 1% would have made in this poll?
The only news here is that a reporter was sent out on a field assignment to talk to the regular people.
According to Gallup, 26% of Americans identify as Republican.
What kind of difference do you think an additional 1% would have made in this poll?
Actually, according to the latest Gallup poll, 28% of Americans identify as Republican and only 25% identify as Democrat:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx
So they undersampled Republicans by 3% and oversampled Democrats by a whopping 9% compared to the actual population. Add in the fact that the Republicans currently enjoy the most political power they've had since Reconstruction, and the Q-Poll's biased sample is even more laughable.
You're right, I misread the year on my source.
I'll tell you who's absolutely livid is Bernstein. LOL. That er is mad. He doesn't know whether to or go blind over Trump. He sits there on that CNN set waiting his turn and is actually vibrating in his seat, leaning forward as the turn moves. I tell ya's I love this . CNN doesn't know quite how to behave with Trump. And every time they appear to get comfy Trump will light them up like with Bannon saying "Shut up." LMAO. Bannon does all the wet work for Trump. Media knows this and they want to kill him.
And Trump, he's gorgeous in his ignorance. He climbs the steps into Air Force One for the first time and just disappears into the doorway without the proverbial turn and wave to the camera. Poor CNN, they just sat there bemoaning the fact that he hadn't turned. in' Trump, what a ball bustin' bas .
CNN/Media want Hillary Clinton so bad.
What an absolutely wonderful week. Been like what, over six 6 years this past June since I've been so happy and contented.
God bless the United States of America and the men who made her free.
the poll numbers regarding what % of the population is democrat or republican should be representative of the popular vote, not the electoral college
TheElectoral College
excuse would hold more water if the Democrats didn't also get BTFO in the downticket elections.
i wasn't making an excuse for the election in that post. i'm just saying a poll of how many americans lean which way or the other wouldn't be a poll that necessarily parallels the electoral college
At the Philly Repug meeting, Trash said he wanted to eliminate the electoral college. Repugs talked him out of it.
He's so ing ignorant, stupid, UNserious.
He knoewth more then though
President Trump's daily routine: Twitter, cable TV and plotting to change America
Donald Trump has swapped Trump Tower for the White House but his habits of little sleep, prolific tweeting and watching ‘the shows’ remain unchanged
Since moving into the White House on Friday, Trump has posted his first Twitter messages each day at 6.53, 7.35, 6.38, 6.11, 7.10 and 6.04am, reportedly from an unsecured Android phone.
Trump, who happens to have a long history with professional wrestling, can’t get enough of “the shows”. He rises before six, the New York Times reported this week, and watches cable TV in the residence and later in a small dining room in the west wing. His favourites appear to be Fox News and MSNBC, in particular Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, both of whom he speaks to frequently.
it appears that Trump was in front of a screen watching Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News, which carried an item about soaring crime in Chicago. At 9.25pm, quoting the same statistics used by O’Reilly, the president tweeted: “If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!”
Once, asked whom he turns to for guidance on matters of national security, he replied: “Well, I watch the shows.”
“Doesn’t spend time on introspection or meeting advisers, much less chewing through briefing books. He’s there in front of a big TV and with an unsecured cellphone, tweeting away.”
during his days as a property tycoon in New York, “he was on the phone constantly to reporters. Now he tweets. Whatever degree of filtering reporters provided at the time, now he’s got a better megaphone with Twitter … Distract, distract, distract. He’s distracting now to keep attention away from the implications of his policies. It’s a hugely ramped-up version of what he did in his whole career.”

Trash carefully protecting, cultivating his ignorance, solipsism.
He has no idea of the damage he's done, will be doing, and doesn't ing care.

Trump Targets Muslims, Refugees In New Executive Order Issued On Holocaust Remembrance Day
“We don’t want them here,” he said.
Trump approved the refugee ban amid the biggest refugee crisis in history and on Holocaust Remembrance Day, which honors the millions of people killed during World War II, many of whom tried to flee to the U.S. but were turned away.

Great timing! a real showman.
Trump executive order prompts Google to recall staff
Google has recalled travelling staff members to the US after an executive order from President Donald Trump restricting entry for nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries.
Google has told the BBC it is concerned about the order and any measures which could block great talent from the US.
President Trump's order could mean that thousands of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya may not be allowed to board flights bound for the US.
The new restrictions will have a major impact on technology companies that hire skilled staff from all over the world on special H1-B visas.
There have already been reports of "green card" holders, who are allowed to work in the US, being prevented from getting on flights

Trash ing up, and Repugs happy to let him up.
— An ABC News transcript of its interview with President Donald Trump on Wednesday quoted him as saying that two people were fatally shot in Chicago while his predecessor, Barack Obama, was giving his farewell speech at Chicago's McCormick Place — a claim shown to be false by Police Department records.

One the many payoffs to BigOil, Trash and Tillerson dropping sanctions on Russia to close the $500B deal with America's motral enemy Putin.
No doubt, the insider buying of Exxon, etc will be very well-timed.
America is so ed and so un able.

"I think one thing that should be distinguished here is that the media is always taking Trump literally. It never takes him seriously, but it always takes him literally. ... I think a lot of voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally, so when they hear things like the Muslim comment or the wall comment, their question is not, 'Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?' or, you know, 'How exactly are you going to enforce these tests?' What they hear is we're going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy."
Silicon Valley billionaires like Thiel are buying up New Zealand as their escape hideouts when the villagers come for them with torches and pitchforks.

Johns Hopkins’ Top Psychologist Releases Terrifying Diagnosis of President Trump
One of the nation’s top psychologists just broke one of his profession’s ethics rules to give President Donald Trump a professional diagnosis.
John D. Gartner, a psychotherapist who teaches at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, told US News that he believes
Trump has “malignant narcissism,” which is incurable, and different from narcissistic personality disorder.
“Donald Trump is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president,” Gartner said, citing his movements and behavior, pointing out the president’s tendency for grandiosity, sadism, aggressiveness, paranoia, and anti-social behavioral patterns.
“We’ve seen enough public behavior by Donald Trump now that we can make this diagnosis indisputably,” Gartner added.
Malignant Narcissists will go to great lengths to achieve their aim.President Trump’s aides previously reported that their boss watches an excessive amount of television, mostly out of obsession for how he is perceived by the media.
They can be intelligent, high functioning (hold an important job for example) soft-spoken, charming, tearful/seemingly emotional, gracious, well mannered, kind and have the ability to form relationships.
They may lie, falsely accuse, dramatize, smear, cheat, steal, manipulate, accuse, blame or twist to get what they want and feel justified in doing so.
Because they are en led, egocentric and desperate, they do not experience it as wrong.
They are determined to gratify their wishes and furious if thwarted.
Their desire can be so consuming that there is little comprehension of, respect for or ability to empathize with the other.
They lack guilt or remorse and tend to feel or pronounce that it is they who have been mistreated.
Salon’s Matthew Rosza compared the timestamps of Trump’s tweets about topics in the news and found that they coincided with the airing of various network news programs talking about those same subjects.

Trump boots top officials — but includes Steve Bannon — in reshuffled National Security Council
another series of executive orders on Saturday, Pres. Donald Trump restructured the National Security Council (NSC) and created a position on it for senior aide and former Breitbart.com CEO Stephen K. Bannon.
The Post reported that Bannon has been given a regular seat on the National Security Council’s principals committee, which will include the nation’s highest ranking security officials, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State.
Unlike previous presidential administrations,
Trump’s Saturday memo specified that the
director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs !!!
will only attend principals committee meetings that pertain to their specific “responsibilities and expertise.”
The changes, Trump said, will bring “a lot of efficiency and, I think, a lot of additional safety.”
On the council, Bannon will be privy to some of the country’s most highly classified military and intelligence secrets.
Typically membership on the council is reserved to the president and key administrators and is, as columnist and author Dan Froomkin said Saturday night “off limits to political hacks.”

Holy , Trash is really ing crazy, kicking pros off NSC and installing a white supremacist political hack (ex-Goldman Sacks).
Can someone actually spell check his constant rants against the NY Times?
Only pussies & assholes lodge the spelling indictment. We all know what he meant.
‘Who is Cleaning House?’ Kellyanne Conway Wants Media Outlets to Fire People Critical of Trump
“Who is cleaning house,” Conway asked.
“Which one is going to be the first network to get rid of these people who said things that were just not true?
Talk about fake news, talk about alternative facts.”
"Not one network person has been let go.
Not one silly political analyst and pundit who talked smack all day long about Donald Trump has been let go.
They’re on panels every Sunday, they are on cable news every day.
Who is the first editorial writer, where is the first blogger that will be let go that embarrassed his or her outlets?
We know all their name"

GOP and Democrats agog at Trump’s ‘stone cold crazy’ Bannon-included National Security Council plan
“Chairman of Joint Chiefs and DNI treated as afterthoughts in Cabinet level principals meetings. And where is CIA?? Cut out of everything?” wrote former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice on Sunday, according to the New York Daily News.
“This is stone cold crazy,” Rice continued. “After a week of crazy. Who needs military advice or intel to make policy on ISIL, Syria, Afghanistan, DPRK?”
“Trump loves and trusts the military so much he just kicked them out of the National Security Council and put a Nazi in their place,” she said.
Press Secretary Sean erresponded by complaining about Rice’s tone, which he said was “clearly inappropriate language from a former ambassador.”
The questioning wasn’t only from the opposite side of the aisle, however. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said he’s concerned about the reorganization.
“I am worried about the National Security Council who are the members of it and who are the permanent members of it,” he told CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday. “The appointment of Mr. Bannon is something which is a radical departure from any National Security Council in history.”
Republican former Defense Sec. Robert Gates said that Trump’s reshuffle of the NSC is a “big mistake,” although he is more concerned, he said, about the removal of the Joint Chiefs chairman and director of intelligence that the addition of Bannon.
“(A)dding people…never really bothers me,” he told ABC’s This Week on Sunday. The removal of key officials, he said, is his “biggest concern.”
