Yes, in the only poll that's come out so far, and by a pollster that was paid by Turner: George II Jun 2021 #18

You do know that every politician pays their own pollsters, right? Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2021 #32

Yes I know candidates pay their own pollsters, but they're used internally to adjust a campaign.... George II Jun 2021 #37

So now it's not the accuracy of those polls but how she's using them? Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2021 #39

If it's not one thing it's another. Autumn Jun 2021 #48

In a word. No. George II Jun 2021 #138

I read that our delightful First Lady in a phone call said"Go f--- yourself" Autumn Jun 2021 #50

Did Jill say this to Kamala's face in the moment or was it a more or less private phone call? Hekate Jun 2021 #65

Sarcasm? No it was not sarcasm. After the First Nude Jill Biden is a delight, Autumn Jun 2021 #92

Any first hand report on this, Autumn? George II Jun 2021 #101

There were no first hand reports, and because neither party wanted to dignify the supposed words JohnSJ Jun 2021 #103

That's what I thought. But some just won't let it go even though probably false. George II Jun 2021 #107

Well Autumn, if you wanted me to try Google myself why did you provide the link AND direct me to it? George II Jun 2021 #110

You didn't seem to know the link was there George. Autumn Jun 2021 #111

I knew the link was there, Autumn, but I knew it didn't contain the information you claimed. George II Jun 2021 #113

Then why ask if you know something was or wasn't there? I never claimed I had a first hand report. Autumn Jun 2021 #115

I asked because your "source" (i.e., link) didn't have a first hand source, Autumn..... George II Jun 2021 #117

Let me explain George. Again. I made no claims. I posted an article, like people do on message Autumn Jun 2021 #119

You "made no claims", Autumn? You said this: George II Jun 2021 #120

That's some nasty selective editing George. You left off a very important part. Autumn Jun 2021 #121

You posted it Autumn, no one else. That's like the catch-all "it has been reported". Goodnight now! George II Jun 2021 #122

Hate to break the news to you George. Not only has it been reported, it was published. IN A BOOK!!! Autumn Jun 2021 #123

But did it happen, Autumn? That is the question! No evidence that it ever happened. George II Jun 2021 #124

No, Autumn...I was furious about Kamala's comments. However, she was Democrat running as a Demsrule86 Jun 2021 #131
