    In 2016, in my opinion after studying quite a few polls, some entities who commissioned polls tried to use them *not* to measure public opinion but to *sway* public opinion.

        You’re not wrong but putting 98% sure win doesn’t help get people out to vote. It just justifies staying home.

        On both sides. Those certain they will lose won't turn out either. It's the old lazy mindset some people have of "my vote is just one vote so it doesn't matter"

        Sheryl I absolutely agree with you that “some” were trying to manipulate the election outcome with their “polling”. I’ve never quite understood how most ALL polls were SO wrong however, including many of the most respected & reputable orgs. Were they all corrupt? Your thoughts?

        Although I will admit, I was polled maybe 8-10 times leading up to the election. Every time I said I was voting for Clinton with no intention of doing so. Could there have been that many who did the same?

        Commissioned polls are baked in to the news business model. In the gruelling 24 hour news cycles a poll allows for at least 2 full days of promoting poll, reporting poll, poll analysis, panel discussions, poll reaction etc.

        Exactly which means main stream media colluded with Clinton for her to win the election. They never reported news they reported propaganda. Colluding to take an election by any means. To discourage anyone voting for Donald Trump.

        This is a fun exercise, but it leads me to ask: Who designed Trump's strategy? It is clear that they had a vision, and a plan; they worked the plan and won the race. Love him or hate him, to ignore this design is to miss a lesson in leadership.

        Trump was mixing with politicians for decades. He watched and took notes.

        Heaven's, yes. Notes? He spent the last 50 years being a target of every government shakedown known to a New Yorker: Unions, Labor, Immigration, Commerce, Zoning; Banking, environment et al. Few people know the "deep state" more intimately than DJT.

        It certainly seemed that way....thank goodness I was firmly and forever a "never Hillary" regardless of the polls.

        My first clue, remember Hillary saying she doesn't sit home baking cookies like Tammy Wynette!? I was offended...cause unlike Hillary, Tammy achieved success ON HER OWN! Then I met her...she smiled...her eyes didn't! I came home & told my hubs that I had met the devil! #Iwasright

        She has spent her whole life intentionally insulting and belittling others - she knows exactly what she's saying when she says it. There is nobody more rehearsed and "focus grouped" that Hillary. That's why she's "the devil."

        HRC is the devil. Women's rights but no rights for babies. She exploits others' misery for her own gain: Haiti. She's criminally incompetent: Benghazi. She may not have had killed the over 50 people on the list of her hits. I have no doubt she is responsible for some of them.
