President Donald Trump threatened to sue his campaign manager, Brad Parscale, over a slew of decreasing poll numbers, CNN reported Wednesday.
Trump's outburst came on Friday evening, one day after he suggested Americans may receive injections of household disinfectants to treat the novel coronavirus. According to CNN and the Associated Press. Trump fumed at Parscale over the phone during a huddle with advisers Friday, berating Parscale for his damaging poll numbers.
"I'm not f---ing losing to Joe Biden," Trump said, cursing at Parscale throughout the call, according to five sources who talked to the Associated Press. The Washington Post reported something similar, citing people familiar with the conversations.
After the call, Parscale described it to others as a Trump venting session, these people said.
It's unclear how serious the president, who has a history of filing flimsy lawsuits, was being. And sources told CNN that Trump and Parscale cleared things up later that day.
Two days before Trump excoriated his campaign manager, Parscale and other advisers filled Trump in on internal polling data from his campaign and the Republican National Committee that showed the president losing to former Vice President Joe Biden in key battleground states, CNN reported.
'I'm not f---ing losing to Joe Biden': Trump cursed at his campaign manager and threatened to sue him
@zaryia: Donald Trump’s surprise victory poses the question: How did we get this thing this wrong? From the myriad polls and poll aggregators, to the vaunted oracles at Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight and the New York Times’s shiny forecasting interface, most serious predictors completely misjudged Trump’s chances of victory.
From your last site, might want to read your own sources.
Polls are either facts and always right, or they’re wrong and not facts. You can’t spin to win on this one.
The 2016 Presidential Election national polls were correct in what they measure according to two aggregates. These numbers can not be changed, you were wrong.
You might want to read all of my sources, you might finally stop being wrong all the time:
National polls only measure the popular vote. Clinton did, in fact, win the national popular vote by 2.1 points. The average of the 13 final national polls had Clinton ahead by 3.1 points, which was only a point off the actual result.
Your quote is talking about EC Predictions and EC Forecasts based off of the polls, which were wrong. Not the polls themselves, which were correct. Likewise, the 2018 predictions also used accurate opinion poll data, but those predictions ended up much closer to the mark. It's still very valid and important data to use, as it is typically correct and Pundits/Analysists use those to predict the winner for the EC 80% of the time.
As your god said after looking at this vital opinion poll data,
'I'm not f---ing losing to Joe Biden'
Final Results | -- | -- | -- | 48.2 | 46.1 | Clinton +2.1 |
RCP Average | 11/1 - 11/7 | -- | -- | 46.8 | 43.6 | Clinton +3.2 |
If you can alter the above 2 numbers, I will ask a moderator to permanently ban this account. I mean dude, even Trump's team uses internal polls and this entire story is about him going nuts over them. Stop with the act.
BTW, this quote chain sparked the debate you just lost:
yet nobody on your side can beat him. That is how bad your candidates are.
Biden beats him in all the polls, hence his outburst at his campaign manager.
I'm simply stating your claim has no basis in reality by using all current public opinion estimates. Public opinion estimates are usually very accurate. They don't always properly estimate the winner (80%), but they are better than randomly saying stuff like you are doing.
On the flip-side your claims have no basis on any data points. As usual.
