[riversedge]

Trump will be using tax payer dollars $$ for these lawsuits!


Trump says he will be bringing a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register for their poll:

“I'm going to be bringing one against the people in Iowa, their newspaper…That was 'the Des Moines Register,' and in my opinion, it was fraud, and it was election interference.”

5. ABC stuck a knife in the back of journalism.

Not that it wasn’t on life support(thank you ProPublica for keeping it alive). Man what an absolute cowardly network is abc.

10. Are they still owned by Disney?

That might be telling in that Disney is an entertainment business who markets fantasy.

Had a run in with them years ago when Peter Jennings misrepresented me in a "special" he did. I was hounded for his narrative misrepresentation and I asked for an apology and never got one.

Since then, fuck ABC and Disney Corp. I won't buy Disney products nor do I give ABC any of my time.

8. that stupid ass poll hurt Harris more than it hurt drumpf

A lot of people talked about what a great pollster she was and bought into the narrative that if Harris was looknig like she was going to win, or at least be close, in Iowa, that she was a sure thing in the battleground states. I am willing to believe if that poll had any lasting effect it was to convince HARRIS voters to stay home because drumpf was going down in flames.

"Respected" no more. I'll never take Selzer seriously again. She might have had a good methodology once but she's clearly clueless how to poll in the current political climate.

I just find it ironic drumpf wants to sue over a poll that, if anything, only helped him.

Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump in Iowa — a startling reversal for Democrats and Republicans who have all but written off the state’s presidential contest as a certain Trump victory.

A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Vice President Harris leading former President Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters just days before a high-stakes election that appears deadlocked in key battleground states.


The results follow a September Iowa Poll that showed Trump with a 4-point lead over Harris and a June Iowa Poll showing him with an 18-point lead over Democratic President Joe Biden, who was the presumed Democratic nominee at the time.

“It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. “She has clearly leaped into a leading position.”

15. J Ann Selzer had already planned to retire from polling before the election.

She had told the Register this would be the last. It is kind of sad this one poll is how some people will choose to remember her.

9. Way out over his skis and he will lose this suit.

Press calls them as they sees them. Surely the pollster will have - heaven forbid - data to back up the call.

[allegorical oracle]

12. Agree. The pollster was well respected. But it was an 'effing poll. People can, and

probably do, lie on polls. Polls are snapshot in time.

And how does a poll interfere in an election? Most people don't pay attention to them, or believe them. He's such a fool. And the taxpayer money he's capable of wasting and/or stealing is going to be rough to endure.

13. I feel ill n/t

[ScratchCat]

14. a suit will never be heard by a court

I'm not sure what legal issue he thinks there is or how he would obtain standing to sue a pollster or newspaper who reports a poll. There are even bogus polls all over the place. Good grief. The fact that he won negates any claim of harm in the fist place.

[spanone]

16. I guess by shitting on the first amendment to the constitution...

he shits on all of them.
