Hi Paul,
Donald would tell you it was the best speech ever in the history of the U.S. and that there's never been another speech like that.

"Axios/Harris poll indicated that a majority of Americans,"

Axios you say? now there's an unbiassed source.

What's next? Let's ask Pravda what Russians think about Putin </sarc>

Meanwhile, following that speech that Paul thought boring (and I'm sure he watched the whole thing - sure!!)... following the speech, 64% of USians thought that "Trump’s policies would move the United States in the right direction". These same people were polled prior to the speech when 54% thought that. So the speech moved one in 5 people in Trump's direction.

Here's the kicker. The poll was from CNN - the most anti-Trump media in the US. If they're admitting this, you can bet the numbers are even better than that.

mhaze,

The idea that a CNN poll must be understating support assumes systematic anti-Trump skew in their polling methodology.

That's a serious claim. Is there evidence for that in their sampling or weighting, or is it just an inference based on branding?

No, its an observation based on their previous polling.

But that's JD for you. Ignore the substance and focus on the minutia.

If it's based on previous polling, mhaze, then it should be easy to show.

Which CNN polls systematically understated Trump support, by how much, and across what timeframe?

"Observation" isn’t methodology.

Australians deserve to be told what could happen to them in a conflict with China.

I'm just wondering the actual scenarios
What kind of foolishness would lead to finding ourselves at war with China in the first place?

Right now if China wants to fire a few shots at Australian naval vessels because the Aussies are provoking them by sailing through the Taiwan strait, then that's up to them.

What's the point of it anyway?
Maybe our naval personnel should also go up on deck drop their pants and display their arsecheeks for the Chinese as well.

"Ner, ner, we're sailing our crappy ship through your strait.
What are you going to do about it silly Chinese people?
We dare you to do something.
Come and kiss our arses"

And the same people going
'Yes - take that ya dirty chinese bastards...'

Will be the same people
Literally screaming like 7 year olds until your eardrums break
Relentlessly screaming that our nation is in danger
When the Chinese decide to sail their own ship too close to our place

"Ner, ner, we're sailing our crappy ship through your strait.
What are you going to do about it silly Australian people?
We dare you to do something.
Come and kiss our arses"

Bunch of idiots.
