I haven't watched a single minute of Fox or gone to any conservative websites, ever, as far as I can recall. So when I read about this poll on Reddit (thank you, u/jst4wrk7617), I couldn't believe it was real. It is. This "Official Trump vs Democrat Poll" is actually on Trump's website. This is the kind of childish, pointless exercise in stupidity that appeals to the underdeveloped minds of Trump voters.
1. Who would you rather see fix our Nations shattered immigration policies?

8. Who do you believe will fight for you every day?

9. Who do you believe is better for America?

10. Who will you vote for in 2020?

And at the bottom there's a place to fill in your name and email address, presumably so that the great man himself can see that you, as a real American, have weighed in and had your say.

This poll didn't write itself. That's the thing that I find the most mind boggling. Some highly paid professional did the polling and the focus group testing and determined that this would be the poll most appealing in format and content to Trump voters. I'm pretty sure McCain and Romney didn't have to stoop this low--to be so risibly infantile and petty--to appeal to their bases. This says so much about the stunted mental and emotional development of the kind of people who are still supporting Trump.

(5,477 posts)I figure that ANY Democrat, no matter what type of label he gives them, is always going to be better at anything than him, so I selected the Democrat in each question.
I do have to wonder if Melania is going to start getting fundraising junk email from them. They required an email address, so...
Oh, yeah, I'll save you a Google search - the zip code (also a required entry) for the White House is 20500.

(35,039 posts)Trump is appealing to the id of his base, they angrily click buttons about MS-13 and socialists, does nothing but give his campaign their contact info.

While actually just having given his campaign an "I am a rube, please hound me for money" message by providing their email address.

Now it appears to be genuine, which makes it a joke.

For someone who 'knew' that it was a pandemic long, long ago, check out how they had to stretch to find something to brag about in their actions.

(3,334 posts)Not quite that bad, but close. What really got to me, they said that if I didn't fill out the questionnaire, would I still mail it back to them so they could send it to someone else. They even wanted me to pay the postage to send it back.
