A (sad) tale of two polls. Actually, of one poll.

49. No, I didn't try--my point is that this whole exercise is foolishness.

So "evidently" you have come to a conclusion with "facts" not in evidence.

You're insisting that a poll with sketchy provenance is right or wrong. I'm saying it's all bullshit. Cough up a poll saying Sanders will win in a walk, or Warren is the Second Coming of Jesus H. Christ, and I'll say the same damn thing.

Look, I happen to support HRC's candidacy and I believe she will be the nominee. But this IS pig wrestling. It is all bullshit.

You can gripe that someone deliberately took the forty seven percent figure to mean something other than what it means, and they did. Surprise, surprise! But the other "side" (how stupid on a D board) could--if they were clever, and apparently they weren't--could poke holes in the accuracy of PPP's results all the live-long day to pull this poll apart in other ways. They probably don't want to do that, on the distant chance that they may need them (and their bias to the left) to boost their arguments for their candidate(s), should a miracle happen and they make it out of the gate.
