    I question the honesty of absolutely every office holder of any kind. Do you?

    If their mouths are moving, they are lying.

    What kind of government do you want. I once had a German working with me who said that America need a benevalent dictatorship. Right after that his hero, Spiro Agnew, left in disgrace due to crimes he had committed. I put a black wreath around his picture of Agnew at work! Do you want a dictatorship?

    No, it's not the same thing. Growing uneasy is a specific emotion. It suggests worry. Mixed feelings could mean a bunch of different things, unease might be one of them.

    That wasn't my point when I said "Fail". NBC specifically said "voters" whereas the WSJ said "Americans". When taking a poll there is a huge difference between the two.

    Trump base wills tick with him so that would be a solid 45%, and once the Dems run Biden or Hilliary again, He takes it pretty easily!

    No growing uneasy means in a state of becoming worried. Mixed feelings could describe the same condition. picky, picky.

    From the beginning of Trump's political involvement on the national scene, he has had no support from any political power base. He was/is a standalone politician. Therefore, at the slightest shadow of illegal actions on his part, all political powers would either pursue him or standby and watch, not wanting to be caught-up in the mayhem. He has proven himself unable to "keep the worms in the bucket" in his failed administration.

    That being said, given the same choices as in the last presidential election, I could not vote for the other liar.

    Again, the problem is NBC said voters we're polled, but the poll was not of voters, registered voters, or even likely voters. According to the Wall Street Journal the poll questioned "Americans".

    When polling there is a big difference in metrics between voters and Americans.

    NBC News was engaged in Fake News (again).

    I'm pretty sure all of them (Democrats and Republicans) may be integrity challenged.

    17% of what Biden claimed this past election was true. He was more honest than most.

    People don't care. They want to believe the lie that suits them.

    People care about what they care about. Priorities matter. Significance of lies matters.

    Being factual 17% of the time about minor points, and lying 83% of the time about major issues will be seen as lying 100% of the time.

    Has no one learned the value of polls?

    Personally - well it might be said that I am misleading with my answers. OH shock and shame!!

    Voting Booth - the only poll that counts.

    The dynamics of polling has changed - many people such as myself believe - an eye for an eye.

    Is it wrong to lie to a liar to thwart his/her evil intent?

    “liar politician” Hmmm. That may be a bit oxymoronic.:)

    For him not being a politician, calling Trump the greatest "of all time" "hands down" could be seen as a major accomplishment, though it sounds a bit Trumpish. Did you ever dream you might come across as Trumpish?:Wink
