January 18, 201610 yr I wonder what the others would have done when faced with the same decision. Probably the same.
January 18, 201610 yr Is that how we're referencing Clinton now ... "the man who chose not to take out Osama Bin Laden"? Comical. Guess you could ask the families of the firefighters who were crushed to death on 9/11 how funny it is. Or the families who identified their familiy members as ones who jumped out of the WTC. Not sure they find your political correctness very funny, same could be said about the families in San Bernardino also. Oh but good decision by Bill not to harm any Afghans while killing Bin Laden.
January 26, 201610 yr The poll you cited is not "scientific." Before you swallow the bait, let google be your friend. Two links below from the Washington Post. Read 'em and learn. The first deals with the accuracy of these online polls. The second deals specifically with how and why the poll you cited is flawed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/10/14/why-donald-trump-loves-online-polls/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/01/10/that-survey-showing-20-percent-of-democrats-backing-trump-come-on/ Sorry I missed this post. I went and read the articles you posted. They're both opinion pieces from the same writer. His only 'evidence' that the original poll is flawed is to point to other polls which show similar trending ironically. He admits he doesn't know the methodology behind the original poll I posted, then questions why Dems would vote for Trump (and of course never questions that Republicans would crossover and vote for Hillary). The polls he points to show the same trend, albeit smaller overall numbers. The original poll showed Trump getting up to 20% of Dem voters and Hillary getting up to 14% of Republican voters. That's +6 with a 3.5% margin of error. The polls that your writer cited show Trump +2 and +1 in net crossover votes. The CNN poll has Trump getting up to 11% of Dem voters and Hillary up to 9% of Republican voters. We have to assume those polls are the most favorable to his assertion and that's why he points to them. It very likely has to do with how the questions were asked, and how the results were interpreted. One organization's "likelihood" of voting for a particular candidate may be more or less The writer's effort to "discredit" the original poll is pretty well muted since the polls he pointed to come to the same conclusion. As much as Dems hate Trump, right now it looks like he would get more Dem votes than Hillary would get Rep votes.
