    Hilarious and so much like an insecure tyrant, Trump is pissed off that his own campaign results were made public. Now the fool will fire those who determined that he is seriously behind nearly every Democratic candidate. Even Fox News polling looks horrible for the yellow hair/ yellow faced criminal. All the more examples that Trump admires Kim and Putin for their fascism. Who can defend such a pathological imposter? Republicans, that's who. :roll:

    The polls showed that HRC was going to win too.

    So what is Trump afraid of? Americans? Certainly not Russians/ North Koreans. Maybe Trump will flee to a communist country to feel at home.

    Oh, we are expected to believe polls again?

    The same polls that had Hillary winning in a landslide.

    For 12 months leading up to the last election, all we heard was what the polls said. They were very wrong.

    So, are we going to start this again?

    He cut the RINO pollsters out early.

    And he's going to win in 2020.

    Accept it.

    Are you always for the underdogs or just yellowback dogs in general?

    First straighten your trifocals. Then explain why you admire a fool who is in love with Kim and worships Vladimir. Trump forces Republicans into all kinds of foolish contortions.

    Ya there were some far out there logical leaps.... People who are so sure Trump is done could be potentially setting themselves up for a rough 2020. Maybe Trump is done but no one knows for certain and just knowing Trump's gone doesn't let one plan for the possible realities.

    That's shorthand for Russian hookers who pee for profit....

    EDIT - On topic, Trump is probably firing for the leaking part vs the results part... He seems not to like leaking, probably because it's never to his benefit...

    This is funny and it illustrates the depth of Trump's fragile ego and insecurity, FIRE THE MESSENGERS!

    The final polls were actually pretty accurate. The odds are against you winning the lottery also, but it happens.

    I hope the first order of business for Democrats is to enact strong ethics and financial disclosure laws and end gerrymandering nationwide — which will ensure a Democrat house for the next few decades until the republicans straighten up their acts. Then tackle national healthcare and cost reforms. Get them out of the way on day one.

    Maybe throw in a SCOTUS pick or two to make up for turtles anti-democratic actions in 2015.

    I would also like to see an alternative to our current voting metrics from fptp to something that will allow a third party but neither of the duopoly will allow that.

    Based off the actions of the current dems, they're not going to have any major political power seizures for years to come.

    Trump knows better....
    Trump is actually doing quite well in the internal polling.
    And the Rasmussen polling for Friday, June 14th, has Trump at a 51% approval rating.

    Meanwhile, the DNC is trying to get Biden locked in by pushing bogus information.
    Bernie is in on the fix yet again.
    It truly is amazing at how the Dems can get their minions to believe that Biden is actually ahead of Trump at this point. Nothing further from the truth.


    TRUMP in 2020 is going to happen! The Dems would rather stuff the actual candidate who could feasibly beat Trump for a dinosaur with access.

    Why do you figure that? The house and senate are almost guaranteed to stay similar to current due to the seats that are up for re-election, the presidency will be interesting — definitely another close one, but trump only needs to swing a few points negative in several states and he loses the electoral college all together (he will never win the popular vote — if he wins it will be another trump first, the first president to be elected without popular support twice), and while his main support has remained fairly steady his opposition hovers around 10 points higher than it did in 2016. And this is during economic prosperity, most other presidents with actual class would be in the high 60’s but instead he is upside down.

    I don’t think it’s a shoe in as much as you wish it to be barring a war or some disaster.

    The 2024 elections will be even more interesting for the senate — lots of republican seats are up for re-election in areas that have grown substantially less red.

    Tell me, are you ready for a Democrat President to take full advantage of the leeway y’all have given trump?

    I wouldn’t hedge my bets on a statistical outlier but ok.
