Trump, the Buyer of Polls

From today’s Election Fraud testimony, Cohen testified to the fact that Trump used the consulting firm to buy polls. From CNN:

In court today, it was revealed that Cohen gave RedFinch $20,000 and kept $30,000 for himself.

RedFinch is a political organization that Cohen said helped the Republican party goose bogus internet polls about which candidate was in the lead, and provided fans for Trump's announcement of his candidacy in June 2015.


If there is one thing Trump will spend money on and spend up front, it is this.

Remember this the next time you see a poll like the NYT/Sienna poll.

Every now and then, someone is distressed by polls… there is no need for that.
