online poll again. Comcast has tons of reasons to not back Trump,and they know darn well in the Senate foes Dem,they will come under regulatory review for their business practices. Comcast=NBC=MSNBC=NBC Universal. It is all about regulating FREE SPEECH. When you dictate the Narrative and control the discussion,you win. Ask any Fascist.
