Mondale led Reagan by 10 points at this point in '83.

We all know how that turned out.

Polls don’t reflect public opinion, they are meant to shape it

While I love the EC and think ot it is the most ingenious part of the Constitution, I would love for Trump to put a Mondale on the Dem candidate both EC and popular vote.

Take DJT's twatter feed out of the picture.

No CNN. No MS-Commie.

If aliens landed on this planet and were to judge objectively....

With this economy, lack of wars, etc., etc., [insert the rest of Bamarep's list], why the frig would you go back to anything else?

I mean how many times do the polls have to cry wolf before people realize they aren’t accurate?

Brexit “shock”
2016 “shock”
Australian election “shock”

On Laura Ingraham's show tonight she quoted Richard Goodstein, who was an advisor to Hillary's campaign and dem strategist say "There is no democratic candidate that can come close to pulling in this type of crowd at this point".

Wow! I forgot that and that was my second election. Mondale was a Bob Dole level candidate. Just a warm body basically.
