    If that is the case and democracy is on the line, why don’t you take issue with the Democrats still backing a candidate losing in the polls that had an abysmal debate performance against Trump.

      Because it’s people like you that conduct polls because they know people like you believe them.

        I’m not saying they are 100% accurate. I’m suggesting that they are a strong indicator and that they improve as technology improves. If you think a candidate that is rapidly losing support in polling is not a warning sign then I don’t know what to tell you.

          They’re not an indicator at all. They only serve the purpose of people like you.

          Now I’m done discussing this. I made my point and nothing further is an exercise in futility.

          Have the day you deserve.
