I don't trust them one bit, and nobody else should either. They have not been reliable for a long time. Plus some of our people used the ones in 2016 as a reason to stay home because "she was going to win big anyway and it is raining I don't want to go out and vote".

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
