I was watching on youtube how Fox News covered it. A 30 minute segment where they say, they're not defending Trump... but go on about Hillary the whole time.

Absolute gold. "I'm not going to defend Trump", then spends half an hour attacking Bill while his co hosts attack Hillary.

1) "Quiet" and "Trump supporter" don't necessarily go together. I find it unlikely that anybody who supports Trump would deny it over the phone (of all  scenarios.) Trump supporters are vocal in their support to say the least.

The referendum in the UK was swung by people who normally don't vote who turned in large numbers thanks to the over the top inflammatory promises by the right.

Most people assumed that remain would win regardless and the media certainly feed into that with polls. In the end, alot of the people from the areas most likely to vote remain felt like they didn't really need to vote.

Do any US polls take into account the likelihood of voters from certain backgrounds to vote?

Just as reference; the EU referendum was staged as a ploy for the conservative party here in the UK to win votes. They argued for one, then most of them decided to campaign to remain afterwards. Most of them never actually expected leave to win.

The person (Boris Johnson) who lead the campaign was a buffoon who made outrageous promises that he has since backtracked on. The idea was likely for him to be the joyful loser who lead a losing campaign, but won himself more support as a result. He didn't believe in most of the stuff he said. He never actually expected to win.

Almost every politician from the right/left (except the far right) in this country/expert and of course the celebrities campaigned against leaving. Leave still won, partly because people expected remain would win and the turnout in pro remain areas wasn't great. The areas where people generally don't vote in high numbers turned out a protest vote.

Do not underestimate Trump, regardless of polls.

Step 1: Head further upstate till you reach Buffalo.

Step 2: Cross the bridge at Niagra Falls.

Step 3: Enjoy being in Canada away from the crazies.

A few years ago I started buying lottery tickets.

I'm thinking to myself now about all the money I would have saved if I never started.

Tried to access it for the first time in years. No surprise it's down.

The decision to split the newgnr/chinesedemocracy forums in half was much sillier than jarmo's censorship route at HTGTH. No surprise one of them is offline and the other looked like it was on life support years ago itself.

Then again I never really posted there.

As for this show. I liked the film, reasonable expectations for the show.

Nope. Here's the video. Bare in mind that he supported it before the referendum campaign started.

Since the UK is leaving the EU anyway, it doesn't matter or at least that's what they can tell to the people that believed him.
