    Most television news outlets don't have a history of selectively editing raw footage with the express intent of misleading the viewer. Anyone with such a history should be taken with a grain of salt the size of a deer lick.

    "Oversampling" is adjusting a sample AFTER the data are collected. Nobody is doing any such thing.

    Spoken by someone who hasn't likely seen this particular series of video therefore incapable of providing sensible rationale as to how that could happen in this case with such detailed and explicit responses.

    The DNC playbook of keeping supporters ignorant seems to be effective,

    Actually they are. It's easy to read.

    The USA based off of the primaries go off of a R+1 count.

    That means almost all of these pools are flawed considerably.

    You don't understand the term "oversampling." That isn't a problem, it is an in-the-weeds statistical term, but it is a specific technique for making sure that a sample includes enough observations for a population of interest (Asian-Americans, Hispanics, etc.). That isn't being done here.

    You may be upset that more people are reporting that they are Democrats than those reporting they are Republicans, but this is more a result of the dumpster fire that is Donald Trump than manipulation by statisticians or pollsters.

    You would think that people would have learned after making these same accusations in 2012, but they just keep on doing the same things over and over again while expecting different results.

    You made an inaccurate analogy, I corrected it. I don't have to have seen the O'Keefe videos to show that your analogy was wildly off base.

    I don't listen to the DNC and don't plan on voting for Clinton. Try again, rookie.

    You don't think that media coverage like in the Trayvon Martin case was intentionally misleading. I'd say you are the rookie.

    You did prove that you are incapable of having a valid opinion here. You don't need the DNC to keep you ignorant, I stand corrected

    Even if I give you that one without question, one case out of quite literally thousands which were in no way "intentionally misleading" is a far cry from O'Keefe, whose tripe has been shown to be intentionally misleading each and every time.

    You'd be wrong.

    No, I clearly showed that my opinion was valid and accurate.

    I am one of the least "ignorant" people you have ever encountered, most likely.

    Have you noticed that ever since these videos came out there hasn't been one protester at a Trump rally ? Makes you think, doesn't it?

    Have you noticed that since Trump tanked and looks like he has no chance of actually winning the presidency, nobody cares enough to protest?

    Do you do any research to check to make sure what you say is true before you say them?

    Just in the past few days, these articles mentioned protesters at these Trump events.

    Monday - Protesters at Grand Rapids Link
    Sunday - Protesters at Greenley Link
    Sunday - Protesters at Albuquerque. Link
    Saturday - Protesters at Las Vegas Link
    Saturday - Protesters at Pheonix Link
    Saturday - Protesters at Golden, CO Link
    Friday - Protesters at Lisbon, ME Link
    Friday - Protesters at Cedar Rapids, IA Link

    I think you get the point.

    Thats a little harsh. Given the track records of both candidates, there is still time for Clinton to screw herself over.
