try again-------------respectfully.

Polls are set up as a means to justify a idea, from a question and statistical formula -------------they are useless on there presentation unless when a hard fact is used in that formula to eliminate the outlier from one candidate to a hypothetical candidate.

Let me give you an example and tell me who said this in 2012 speech in Australia on the TPP and what they thought of the TPP accord it is ----------- "the gold standard in trade agreements."

Now let's use this has a question in a town hall meeting with voters in attendance or in a debate format--------
Do you think the TPP is the gold standard in trade agreements" and would this be used in your vote for the candidate? ( Yes/No/ Uncommitted with candidates name)
Or, we can ask---------- is the TPP a gold standard in trade agreements or not, and who do you trust on the TPP accord." (Give the names of the candidates)

Again, what was your candidate doing in 1964-2015?
I know exactly what my candidate was doing in 1964-2105?

And, I think that with over 100,000 in attendance at these town hall meetings, it is over 100,000 voters that can have a candidate lose primaries if they do not have your support------------that being said, this is not being factored into the polls.

They are using a question in a hypothetical to justify the candidates existence in a race/money------they do not present what that person said in------------ let's say TPP, to what another candidate said about TPP.

These three letters (TPP) in my opinion drive the ideology of what that candidate stands for on every issue------------- income, equality, health care, immigration, workers rights, national security, climate, social security, civil rights, ect.................and I am basing my vote on those three letters TPP----------because they affect all of the above with the track record of what was said and what they have not said

Have a good day
