[h=1]Trump campaign to fire pollsters after unflattering leaks[/h]Trump campaign to fire pollsters after unflattering leaks

President Trump's reelection campaign is firing several of its pollsters after internal numbers leaked that show Trump lagging behind top Democratic rival Joe Biden in key battleground states.
Anonymous sources told CNN and NBC that several were about to get the boot, though precisely who would be dismissed remained unclear.
The polls in question were conducted by the Trump campaign in March and leaked to various news outlets this month. They show Biden leading Trump by double-digit margins In Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, and Virginia.

This is typical Trump. If you can't lie and make up all kinds of bull****, and if your pollsters can't lie to make the liar in Chief happy, he fires them. It's the same thing with Trump, if he doesn't like the message, he shoots the messenger.

If you were a business owner wouldn't you fire an employee who gave confidential business information to people who were working against your company?

Unless they were an incompetent boss like tRump who refuses to clean up his own ****! :lamo
 
Good. I hope Trump goes into 2020 absolutely believing that he's got the election in the bag and has nothing to be concerned about.

Seems to me they ARE cleaning up their ****...or, at least, taking out the trash.

That's what a responsible business owner does.

tRump? Responsible?

Keep talking. This is getting funnier by the minute. :mrgreen:
 
Surrendering so soon? Too bad, I was hoping you'd make an intelligent point for once! ;)

When I present valid points...twice...and both times you respond with utter nonsense, dismissing you is not surrendering. It's a dismissal.

Sorry if I chapped your ass, but there it is.

But if his polls were better, he wouldn't mind leaks at all, would he?

Maybe. Maybe not. That would be up to his campaign manager to decide.

Do you think that consideration justifies an employee taking it upon themselves to leak stuff?
 
Hope they were paid up front.....

That's a joke, it wouldn't be up to his campaign manager at all, Trump makes the decisions, nobody else. Trump even went so far as to call his own internal polling numbers, 'fake news'.

“They were fake polls that were released by somebody that is — it’s ridiculous,” he told the media during a typically meandering press conference on Wednesday. “No, we are winning in every single state that we’ve polled.”

I am going to apply for a job as a Trump pollster before the night is out - no doubt about it.

Will one or two genuine, Trumpian souls give me a good character reference?

As I said in one of the other countless threads on this topic, the fact that they were fired has no bearing on whether what they said to the media is true or not.

Are you saying that his own pollsters, the men who work for the president, were lying about the numbers, and his own pollsters are 'fake news' too?

Nope. I have no idea about any numbers. But the people who got fired, got fired for a good reason.

This was internal polling. Looks to me like Trump didn't want the numbers leaked. He needs those numbers to plan strategy, so he would be a total idiot for firing them only because the numbers were bad......Wait, yes he is an idiot, but he is firing the pollsters not for bad numbers, but for leaking those numbers, which were supposed to be private information. It's all about the context, and you got the context all wrong.
