You've made various claims, like Trump bringing out the conservative radicals not representative of the Republican party as a whole. I don't see why anyone should give those claims the least bit of thought if you deny any source of information with any sort of reliability that could back up those claims. Without polls, you're pulling those claims out of gut feelings and thin air.
...Sigh, once again I am forced to defend a party I don't particularly care for.
...That Trump brings out the conservative vote is a fairly conclusive observation. As is the fact that he does not represent the whole party. When you actually turn the channel away from Trump, you hear Republicans screaming over and over again that he doesn't represent the party. Using Trump to demonize the whole party has simply become an easy tool for liberals to attack their foes. By using it they don't really have to do much work focusing on the platforms of individual candidates.
... I also know many Republicans living in various parts of the country. We talk politics regularly and they have made me well aware that Trump does not represent the party
...I am well-versed on the construction of polls and surveys. Not only have I studied them at the college level, I have constructed them and been employed as a survey/poll taker. Polls and surveys are easily manipulated depending on what questions are asked and who you survey. You should never take any poll as factual until you have the opportunity to examine its construction and how it was conducted.
...Finally, I don't expect anybody to take my word as the ultimate authority on any issue. I hope that people are motivated enough to research issues on their own. Research that does not rely upon biased interpretations made by politically-motivated sources.
