Because without tapes, this shit ain't gonna fly. It's just another TV show to compete with Brexit for ratings.
In Watergate, we had tapes, not just bullshit "testimony". And people were caught in the act, by real policemen. So far all we have are a bunch of blabbermouths. I certainly hope there is something real to hang 'em with, but the ineptitude is so overwhelming, and given history of the Party, it's not just rope-a-dope.
And this "whistleblower"? please! Goddamn cops tell us, "If you see something, SAY something!" So what's up, ya bastard? If you have solid proof, out with it, pronto! You hear about real heroes falling on the grenade, now it's your turn.
Eh, like I said in ol' boy's journal, the dems will tread lightly, or collateral damage will be severe in discovery. Actually, probably not. People just don't care how crooked they are anymore. As long as their guy wins... That rule applies equally to both sides of the imaginary line.
*sigh* All this bullshit and the republican/democrat party will still receive 95% of the vote next year, and of course the pissing and moaning will never cease.
And a shout out to the morons (no offense to morons) who want to believe I advocate not voting! Love you all!

If there's one person I definitely trust to make an accurate statement about approval ratings it's Trump!

I have to agree with that statement. In 2015 and 2016, all of America's mainstream media were publishing poll results that said Trump couldn't get elected to a dog catcher's office. Then, Trump won the Big Poll in November of 2016.
Fuck all the other idiots, I'll trust Trump for poll results!!

Trump won because of the electoral college, not because the polls themselves were wrong. It's just that the idiots interpreting the polling data forgot to take into account the electoral college. If you look at the total number of votes each candidate received, the polls were right in general.
And the exact same thing could happen again, if the Democrats are stupid enough to run another corporatist.

You are correct. That is why they are going to throw Biden under the bus. It isn't clear yet who will be annointed in his place, but Biden is history. It's looking like maybe Warren is going to get it.

Is fivethirtyeight part of MSM? I've hit their site a few times now, but haven't really looked at them. They seem to stand off on a tangent from the supposed left-right axis.

They take an aggregate of what all the "main stream" polls are saying. So, we can make the factual statement that on average the "main stream" polls had them at a statistical tie the week before the election.

Your media polls don't gauge opinion, they set it. That is what they are paid to do. They are driving the herd, not observing it. Works very well for silencing independent voices, denied the stage because they don't have the percentages or adequate funding. Nope, gotta fill the screen with big money.

If you really believe, place yer bets. His approval ratings will not be revealed for another year. You're just gonna have to wait until then to see who is telling the truth. So far, the odds are in his favor.
Hope you got something good, because so far, it's all just another distraction. You people are being so robbed, in broad daylight! [businessinsider.com]

As are you.
The difference is that I criticize the people doing it while you defend them.

No you are not. You're only criticizing half of them. And you still have not shown the receipts. So they are entitled to the same defense until you do.
Be careful, discovery will burn down your house of cards.
