I would too this state is a disgrace.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

if she was doing her polling around the East village, I could see how she her poll would be so off.

 

[Scruddy]

How much do you guys think she got paid to publish that poll?

 

[h-hawk]

All the polls were way off, showing a very tight race. She has nothing to feel bad about.

ORLY?

She was off by 16 points lmfao she sure as f*ck should feel bad.

If it's anything like what my dogs get paid when they do good doggy stuff it's probably like one million dog bucks. I almost feel bad when I award them dog bucks because they don't have bank accounts, and they don't have pockets, and it's not even legal tender.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

She was off by 16 points lmfao she sure as f*ck should feel bad.

Do you feel bad?

 

[Scruddy]

Do you feel bad?

I feel great

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

Surprised no experts signed off on it.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

I feel great

Hmm

I would retire too if I simultaneously put out a disgraced poll & received a huge sum of cash.

 

[Scruddy]

Hmm

I am admittedly getting a little tired from all the winning though

 

[MikeyHawk]

No

[Greenway4Prez]

What about her sister, Alka??

 

[Hans81]

What about her sister, Alka??

Lol

 

[Bank of Hawk]

What about her sister, Alka??

She will still be around, helping relieve headaches and fevers.

 

[IamHawkeye]

Lol

and her brother Bromo

 

[SA_Hawk]

Like many others TDS will end her career.

I still wonder if she received a big payday from the DNC to sow fear amongst Republicans and false enthusiasm among Democrats with that fake poll.

 

[Huey Grey]

I'd retire too if I was her. Everything Trump touches gets worse. Even polls have gotten worse since he came along.

You're proving my point exactly. Polls were largely non controversial before Trump. But now nobody trusts them. He doesn't improve trust in anything. All Trump does is seed doubt.

 

[doughuddl2]

Enough to retire!

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

It’s DT’s fault, lol.

 

[Scruddy]

It’s DT’s fault, lol.

Hahaha it always is apparently 🤣

 

[Huey Grey]

It’s DT’s fault, lol.

The dude was crying about Selzers poll right after it was released. You have to admit that he puts himself right in the middle of these things.

Because he knew it was 16 points off lmfao. Meanwhile the lefties here were having a circle jerk and celebrating it as fact. Then election day happened..

 

[joelbc1]

Surprised no experts signed off on it.

Ferentz….. SHE is the expert on most everything “Iowa” and she obviously “signed off” on it. Check her past as a pollster… she is damn near flawless in her predictions when other pollsters were not even close.

I fail to understand the glee that you and scruffy and other MAGAt- meatheads see in this one failure if an Iowa icon. Can you explain?

 

[Huey Grey]

Trump called her an enemy for her poll and said that it should be illegal. This is pretty shocking behavior. I get that the Rs don't care, but it's disturbing how childishly Trump reacted to her.

I would retire, too. Who wants to deal with this crap?

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

I was referring to the experts that signed off on the laptop and economic plans.

Oh the glee comes from watching all liberals jerking off to Kamala potentially winning Iowa to getting an epic beat down

We lost. Why are the Rs being such sore winners about this?

 

[Huey Grey]

His fault? She was way off.

So you think him calling her an enemy of the state is acceptable? She missed on one poll. It happens. Why is it ok for Trump to behave this way?

Maybe he knew more than her call. How do you guys live your lives?

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

I'm saying it has nothing to do with reading polls for a living.

 

[Huey Grey]

He said what she did should be illegal. That's a shockingly stupid claim to make.

 

[ihhawk]

Because it’s all time epic fail

"Omg guys she was only off by 16 points!!! She's still the expert!! Trust the experts!!! Reeeee!!"

😂🤣😂

Do you not realize how you and the left in general behaved the last 4 years?? LOL
