regarding keeping men out of women's sports many others would have done the same thing and not do a lot of things trump did or even will do. in other words it does not take a genius to tell men to get out of women's sports. it was the most stupid thing for biden to do and because of that the democrat party lost.

It does not take a genius, but it DOES take someone smarter than a democ rat.

Notice there were still 30% in opposition. So one of two things is true:

1. 30% of Americans think that women do not merit protection from sexually deranged men, or
2. 30% of Americans suffer from TDS to the point they are willing to sacrifice women's safety. 

As to the ALLEGEDLY less popular Trump agenda moves, we have to take the pollsters' word - or fox's word (which I do not) that the results are not cooked.

I am put in mind of an early mistake - a very famous one to statisticians - in the world of statistics. It was the poll that predicted a guy named Landon to beat FDR by a landslide in 1936. The conventional explanation for the gaff is that the pollsters used the telephone book and auto registration information to contact poll participants, and this method resulted in many more republicans being surveyed than democrats. I don't know if this is true. A less publicized argument for the snafu is that democrats were simply unwilling to participate in the polling - for reasons I never really got from the literature. Here is what's important: In both explanations, the problem with the polling was that the SAMPLE did not reflect the STUDY POPULATION. 

Now, it can be argued that the lessons from this famous **** up taught the statistician community how to avoid mistakes, yes. But it should also be noted that it taught that same community how to cook the books. How to be whores for profit. Understanding how NOT to get a skewed result necessitates learning how to skew results - one way or the other. 

So we get to the critical question: HOW TRUSTWORTHY IS FOX? Opinions will differ. You might take the perfectly reasonable position that you trust them with certain things and not with others. For example, you might trust them to honestly report on Trump, but not on Biden. Because you might hold the opinion that they are pro-Trump and anti-Biden. And that is where you and I would part company. I'm not saying your position is unreasonable. I'm saying it's wrong. 

Fox hates Trump. They pretend to love him, because they are whores. But they truly despise and fear him. He is their enemy, and they make him their frienemy. I do not trust their polls about ANYTHING, for that matter, because I genuinely doubt their competence in general. Even without a dark motive, a hack is a hack and should never be granted credibility on anything.

On top of all of THAT, I poll one *** - me. That's who the **** matters. Everyone else's opinion can suck my opinion's dick.
