I just participated in a poll by Survey Sampling International.

Push poll, to be exact, for Trump and mostly Tom Garrett.

How did I know (in spite of the misinformation?)

"Do you usually vote for the Democrat party or the Republican party?"

They wanted to know if I thought Garrett was "like" Trump (I responded nobody's like Trump) and if I thought he was supporting Trump "too much." Heh.

I went through the entire poll (I did identify myself as a Republican, don't know why I did that, maybe to drive the candidate(s) insane), but I could tell the woman was not from this country. When I asked, she said the company is located in the U.S. Nice non-answer answer.

Hillary and Jane all the way!

One of the questions was something like: Due to President Obama's terrible economic actions like the disastrous Obama Care plan, who do you think would be better for the economy?

I said there is no way you are an "Independent" poll with that stupid question. I am voting straight Democratic ticket for everyone.

Then I hung up. Haven't answered another "unavailable" call since.
