It's like he crying wolf all of the time and whining like a five year old. Enough! Grow up or leave, since you can't seem to handle anything.

It's an incredibly unprofessional email from a purportedly-respected pollster. This will damage their reputation (to the extent they have one). They are a C/D rated polling operation according to a poster on another thread.

A person with dementia will also often have changes in their mood.

For example, they may become frustrated or irritable, apathetic or withdrawn, anxious, easily upset or unusually sad. With some types of dementia, the person may see things that are not really there (visual hallucinations) or strongly believe things that are not true (delusions).

Remind you of anyone.................................

had more patience & called in the help of professionals. He's passed on now, but his last years were full of anger, cruelty, and confusion. He put up a good front though. I had blamed his "upsets" on myself for doing the wrong thing or not doing enough. AND I was 60, he was 90 - Holy Shit those family dynamics die hard.

Yes, someone should definitely take a closer look at Bunker Boy.

One night she called me 23 times asking why I hadn’t talked to her. I finally had to step in.

I see the dementia thing in mf45 and if he does his “racial reconciliation” speech he will go off script and think he’s at one of his rallies ! And it will be irrefutable he needs to be 25th amendment. I’ve said before I don’t think he’ll make it to the general election.

The polls that showed Hillary ahead were within the margin of error.
She fucking WON the national popular vote, which is what the polls measured.
If dumb was money, Lard Butt might be an actual billionaire, instead of the fake-ass (although still rich) punk he really is.

They want to see you driven from power, arrested, and thrown in prison where you belonged decades ago when your assaulted your first victim, or stole from your first investor.

Enthusiasm is through the roof!

So much enthusiasm it's incredible.

I guess when you wear blinders for 4 years and only consult the media outlets that favor you, you might get the impression that you're 100% beloved.

Believe it to your detriment, orangeman.

Please. Into the abyss with your Dear Leader you go, where you belong.

Once the GOP loses control of the levers of power, they will lose their ability to cheat. Once they lose their ability to cheat, they'll lose their ability to command bribes and obedience from corporations and drop down to the 18% representation they deserve.

There will be a new GOP someday, three generations down the road when everyone who lived through this is dead.
