The ARG Poll putting Trump ahead of Clinton is actually a good thing in my opinion


Clearly that poll is fucked. There is no way in hell Trump can win especially since he will need about 43% of the Hispanic vote and he will be lucky to get 20%. The poll over sampled home phones and under sampled cell phones and the cell phones had Clinton and Sanders up big. Also, other polls show him trailing.

However, the reason this is a good thing is it now makes Republicans think Trump is the winning choice when in reality he is probably the worst choice for them. It could really help him get the nomination. If he gets the nomination we win unless our lead candidate is caught in some devastating October surprise.

EVERY poll serves as entertainment value only. I do agree that Trump would be the worst choice the R's could make. And they're so friggin' stupid they might just do it!!
