They are indeed distinct topics. The original thread and following commentary was related to one (polls), and not the other (personality/communication style). You changed tactics when one drive wasn’t working for you, that’s the definition of moving the goal posts.

It would be a superficial rehash at best. The meat of the issues and what is actually going on are vastly different. We have a criminal incumbent President facing possible impeachment hellbent on fucking our democratic institutions while lining his pockets. This isn’t 2016.

So you started by talking about early polling, and now this premise is based on personality? Way to move those goal posts.

And he was in no way polling as a front runner at this point in the GOP primary either. It’s too damned early to be calling this. As much as I like Silver’s polling data, he was still wrong. His giving Trump a better chance at winning just made him slightly less wrong than the other horse race poll hawkers.

I must express my view that your conduct in patronizing the Playmates Bar & Grill, which, the report finds, advertises itself as a “strip club,” while traveling on behalf of the AFL-CIO and after engaging in pre-election canvassing, demonstrates poor judgment and is inconsistent with the values of the AFL-CIO.

Astute observations.

I feel like this one is going to buck trends given the times we live in and the scope of the candidates, etc.

Polls aren’t as accurate this far out, but discounting them is also foolhardy.

I don’t know why she’s not the clear front-runner right now—besides the obvious reason that she’s a woman with the experience and vision to do a good job—

Warren has to get those poll numbers up and fast. Maybe since her policy proposals don’t seem to draw much, beating the impeachment drum will or Not.

Wait.....are you trying to argue that voting against Clarence Thomas makes someone a racist?

No we’re not going to take polls seriously when they are 1.5 years out from the election, primaries haven’t happened yet, and they don’t tell the future. Everyone is a contender as far as we are concerned. The top poll-er in an election this far out hasn’t actually become president for...I think two decades?

Classic divide and conquer politics, old tactic yet still effective.

I don’t think this particular poll is a strong barometer.

See but we aren’t counting on Republicans to vote for him, so what you are saying would suggest that he’d be quite popular with Democratic voters, which would then suggest he’d be a great contender against Trump.

I wonder when it will finally be apparent to enough Americans that relentless predatory capitalism is actually a bad thing

and make people forget the ramifications of what it means to make a snap decision on ridding oneself of the largest financial asset they have ever owned in their life.

Sorry, I don’t get the reference.

Republicans are going to be disappointed again.
