App maker: Trump will win election
LOS ANGELES — Despite a majority of opinion polls showing the 2016 presidential election going to Democrat Hillary Clinton, a smartphone app developer says his data suggests challenger Donald Trump will be the victor.
“Based on the stats we see, he looks strong,” says Ric Militi, co-founder of San Diego-based Crazy Raccoons, maker of the Zip question and answer app. His app poses questions and polls responses based on an average of 100,000 daily users. “I go with Trump, based on what we see.”
According to the RealClearPolitics average of opinion polls, which are performed by calling people on landlines and cell phones, and answering questions on websites, Clinton leads with 47.8%, to Trump’s 41.0%.
How can Zip’s results be so different?
“We’re not a poll. We’re a conversation, and 100% anonymous,” Militi says. “People feel comfortable answering questions without fear of being bullied or being called a racist. People can express themselves safely, and you get a pure answer.”

Some Zip questions:
— ”New polls suggest Trump is getting crushed by Clinton. Do they reflect how you are going to vote?” Some 64% told Zip they would vote for Trump, compared to 36% for Clinton. In the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, Clinton leads Trump, 42% to 36%.
— ”California, who you voting for?” Trump got 55%, compared to 45% for Clinton. In the latest Public Policy Institute of California poll, Clinton has a 16-point advantage over Trump, 46% to 30%.
— "What do you honestly think Trump meant by saying "The 2nd amendment people can do something about Hillary? Vote against her? 63% Assassinate her 37%”
Militi insists his replies are a cross-section of voters in age, gender and geography. “These are the same results we saw when he (Trump) was in the primaries,” he says. He contends that most media polls are just flat-out wrong and that smartphone answers are the future.
Douglas Rivers, a Stanford University political science professor and chief scientist for YouGov, which conducts online polls with such partners as CBS and the Economist, disagrees. “What do they know about these people?” Rivers says. “We worry a lot about who we’re talking to.”
So either the traditional polls are right or Militi is onto something, with a different way of polling that lets citizens answer more openly. We'll find out on Nov. 8, when voters go to the real polls.

That's a founding as far as I'm concerned.
That's not to say Bush et al didn't also help to found previous iterations of course, but that goes without saying.
Bush didn't found ISIS either.
ISIS was founded in 2004 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (Al-Qaeda in Iraq). AQI turned into ISI (Islamic State in Iraq) in 2006. ISI turned into ISIS in 2013.
Pretending that any president is the founder of a terrorist organization is disingenuous at best.
Almost as bad as saying..........

does every election cycle involve daily clarifications of the concept of figurative speech or is this a phenomenon we can blame on the growing misuse of the word "literally"

I hope u guys are getting paid well by trump to spout this crap
"I dont agree with what you say so you must be bought and paid for!"I hope u guys are getting paid well by trump to spout this crap
The press suddenly can't figure out when something is a joke, they can't figure out what sarcasm is, and they can't figure out figurative speech. But Trump is literally Hitler, literally!
