Trump Campaign Manager Accidentally Tweets Poll That Shows Impeachment Is Destroying The GOP

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, released a poll on Thursday that he claimed was evidence that impeachment is hurting Democrats ahead of the election year.

The only problem, of course, is that the polling shows a sizable number of folks in a deep-red region – Oklahoma’s 5th congressional district – supporting Trump’s impeachment.

1. The fact that these Republicans prove they can't tech at least

weekly, I find delicious..
Edit, I just read the article..still he is a dumbass.

[MuseRider]

3. Oh he can tech

he was one of the originals of the New Tek group who invented the Video Toaster software.

I think they are just careless in their habits "knowing" they are going to Be Best.

[tinrobot]

19. His dad was CEO of NewTek, but I don't think he worked there.

Brad was in his teens when the Video Toaster was developed in the late 80's/early 90's. You might be thinking of Brad Carvey (Dana Carvey's brother) who did help create the Toaster.

But yes, Brad Parscale does have some tech chops. mostly in digital marketing.

[MuseRider]

23. You are correct

but I think Brad was somehow involved. I don't know how I made that mistake, been doing that lately. I knew some of those people, not closely but one of them was married to a good friend of mine way back in the early days when it began I lived in Topeka.

[tinrobot]

24. I worked with some of them in the 90's

Brad Carvey had an animation studio in Albuquerque for a while. We hired him to do 3D work on a show open. I flew out to direct, got to hang with them. I also remember meetings with the Video Toaster/Lightwave people at Siggraph during that time.

[MuseRider]

36. That was an interesting time.

I went to one of their parties, probably around the time Will Wheaton was hanging here (I would have recognized him but did not know at that time that he was around here). I did not recognize anyone else famous but they hung with a pretty impressive bunch. It was a nice party for sure. I was acquainted with Tim Jennison through his wife who was a good friend for a while. It was big stuff but not exactly my interest or my social status nor did I really care about the big stuff but it was fun. I do remember the stories about their time around Dana Carvey and Penn and Teller but I did not know it was Dana's son that was working with them.

They were all nice people but living way above me and I really was out of that loop so my contact was small but it was exciting for sure! I was sad when they moved away.

15. Excuse me for a dumb question. What does someone "can't tech" mean?

[Arthur_Frain]

20. Means they're not 'tech savvy'.....

kind of like how in the impeachment hearings the democrats used audio and video clips to bolster their claims and the republicans were over on their side with their home made sharpie-calligraphed poster boards that they kept juggling on easels.

Pathetic, elementary school science fair shit plumb eludes ‘em.

[Cousin Dupree]

21. LOL. Thanks for the info.

[Dale Neiburg]

32. Language scholars point this out as a characteristic of English

Any noun can be verbed.

[TwilightZone]

2. That isn't even remotely "destroying the GOP"

I realize that ridiculous hyperbole is kind of PoliticusUSA's thing, but a "sizable number of folks" in one district in OK supporting impeachment is light-years away from "destroying the GOP".

In fact, it's 52/45 against impeachment in that particular district. That proves nothing.

[guillaumeb]

5. Oklahoma is a very red state.

And one might assume, based on this and other polls, that the people have spoken. But 2020 will provide the real test.

[TwilightZone]

6. One district in OK does not represent the entire GOP.

It's also still majority anti-impeachment. The author's assertion is ridiculous.

[Hortensis]

11. Yes, I would have trashed the trashy headline.

[nykym]

4. we will just have to call them

The Gang That couldn't Tweet Straight

[abqtommy]

7. Impeachment is something that tRUMP and the ignorant reTHUGS have brought on themselves.

I hope they're finally beginning to understand that.

[OKNancy]

18. The Chickasaw's are not in the 5th district at all

Also people who identify as a tribe member mostly vote like the people where they live.

[yellerpup]

26. I'm sorry. I did make an error and will delete my post.

I think you were a friend of my cousin, Billie.

[OKNancy]

28. no need to delete.

I don't think so... I've been here so long I don't recall if we have talked before or not. LOL
I don't know a Billie.

I grew up in Norman, lived in Sulphur 2 years (lots of Chickasaw there),back to Norman and OU.. then to Tulsa since 1976.

[yellerpup]

30. I thought you knew her through activism.

Billie Letts pushed back against W, et. al., until she was finally arrested while protesting Cheney's visit. She was fragile but determined. She wrote "Where the Heart Is" and other novels. Marvelous human being.

[OKNancy]

31. Oh yes!! I remember now

Only an acquaintance. She was a great person. Her husband looked just like my dad. I swear my grandfather was fooling around when he was teaching in Durant. (joking)

[yellerpup]

34. Oh my yes, Dennis was gorgeous.

The sun rose and set with him for Billie.

[William Seger]

9. Accidentally? I dunno...

He may be just another Republican who has decided that their only defense is to just boldly contradict the facts.

[moondust]

10. Morning Joe this morning

cited a poll (Morning Consult?) showing overall support for Dump under water by -14 in WI and MI, -13 in IA, at least -5 in PA, AZ, MN, and maybe others. Even under water in GA.

[guillaumeb]

12. And my view is that those numbers will grow.

The House Committees are presenting facts. All the GOP has are lies and conspiracy theories.

[moondust]

14. The poll I mentioned

is apparently overall Dump approval. The link in this article didn't work for me. ???

Devastating News for Trump in New Poll

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. No. GOP has more.

They have deny, delay, obfuscate, confuse, repeat, deny, lie, CT, delay, repeat, lie, repeat, obfuscate, repeat, ....

[lunasun]

27. ++Same here 100%

[moondust]

33. Indeed.

I haven't kept up with polling methodology but these days I don't see how polls could be accurate if they don't call cell phones, and I don't know if they can legally do that because of the charges involved.

[SayItLoud]

13. At this point....

I only care about what's happening in States with electoral votes that could go against tRUMP. Everything else gives me false sense of "oh great". Just how I'm dealing with every tidbit of supposedly, maybe, could be news from polls. Just sayin..

[OKNancy]

17. Oklahoma's 5th is where we have the only Democrat in the House

Kendra Horn. I was thinking she might vote against for political reasons, but maybe not.
(This is Oklahoma City mostly)

[guillaumeb]

22. I posted this more as a "yet another example"

story to show that no matter how much the GOP lies, and FOX repeats those lies, the numbers are moving against Trump. But will that be enough in 2020?

[warmfeet]

35. Good!

The gop can rot in hell for all I care, not that I believe in hell, but whatever. Rot is the important part.

[WoonTars]

37. These guys really don't seem to have a handle on this technology thing...

Do they?

[guillaumeb]

38. Or the fact that they are being watched.

They are under constant surveillance.
