Vandals toss bricks through window of Indiana county Republican office

Tom put three Trump signs on our front lawn ten days ago. They were stolen the other night. As were our neighbors. I asked him not to replace them. Afraid vandalizing my car might by Option #2. It's ugly out there, and I have no doubt the poles are wrong. Tom received a call from a pollster. Firs question out of the box was your presidential choice. He answered Trump. The pollster hung up.

I agree it's ugly. I live in Trump territory, so the risks here are opposite where you live apparently. No way I'd put a Hillary sticker on my car and park it at the mall, for example. The insurance company might blame ME for any vandalism....

FWIW, the poll story really doesn't at all support the conclusion that the polls are "wrong." There are probably hundreds of outfits polling for at least dozens of purposes, only one of them is to predict the election outcome. Just for example, the outfit could be trying to identify houses to target with later GOTV efforts for Hillary and/or other state/local democrats - if you support Trump, they don't want your household voting! I have no idea, but that's FAR more likely than one of the big outfits cited by fivethirtyeight or RCP is intentionally skewing their poll responses to present an inaccurate snapshot. If caught doing what you allege, those orgs would permanently trash their credibility and if they want to skew the results, they can do that after the fact behind closed doors. So it makes no sense on any level.

Putting out political lawn signs is asking for trouble. I keep who I'm voting for to myself. It's a private matter between myself and the voting booth.

I'm sure it's just because of Trump's overheated rhetoric.

I think it's in no small part due to 24/7 media pimping this all like it's an MMA prize fight.

Given the revelations in the latest Wikileaks it seems to be less an MMA prize fight and more a WWE main event.

Pretty sure that's Trump's fault too.

What... that you're whiny? No... That's not Trumps fault. Almost all of your posts in this thread have been sarcasitc whiny victim cards. Take personal responsibility.

There is no personal responsibility, it's all Trump's fault. :(

I can't wait for Hillary to take office and save the world from, like, freedom and stuff. Plus, I want me some free stuff at your expense dammit! :2mad:

****ing wah.

I'm mostly just messing with ya Rob. We should both be waving the surrender flag, because no matter what, America loses.
 
Going out on a limb but I'm thinking alcohol played a role in a significant portion of these vandalism acts.

Not hearing of any Hillary or Democratic offices getting firebombed or vandalized. Funny how that is.

It's reasonable to think that such behavior is going to swing public opinion against Hilary and / or Democrat candidates.

Doubtful.
It's not getting that much news play.

Remember, Trump people are the violent ones.
 
If it's actually near Muncie, it may be a deception. Randolph County is the major link to North Carolina, which is also the state that links Obama-Clinton ISIS at Low Gap and Mount Airy.
