I already sense that these polls are being manipulated.

Especially given how their methodology all seems to be "random calls across a relatively very small sample size", which isn't exactly an airtight way of gathering data.

That's not how American democracy works. Under the system the US has, you can be absolutely reviled by most people, and still win. All you have to do is run a more successful campaign than the person you're up against, and if your opposition is woefully disorganized, then the odds are stacked heavily in your favor.

Also, consider what I said earlier: political power isn't won on the back of the majority, it's won thanks to organized and determined minorities. As long as Trump has his base, all else being equal, the rest of the voters will fall in line.

This contradicts your previous argument about "optics", which necessitates more people liking you (or disliking you less) than the other guy.
 
Get to the candidates already, who gives a fuck about "experts".
 
Bernie is probably going to win tonight, all of the other candidates are just corporate sellouts with a history of betraying their values. Yang needs to shill his message well to survive.
 
This NBC panel appears to be a carefully crafted representative body reflecting the vibrant diversity of uptown new York city.

If Yang and Bernie don't get into a knife fight for gibsmedat I'm gonna be disappointed
 
Aside from the Kavanaugh hearings, I didn't like Corey Booker because he sucks Big Pharma's dick really hard in exchange for that sweet sweet corporate money and the fact that his household isn't actually located in that shitty NJ district he claims to be from. He rents an empty house there in order to make it look like he is though.
