Lewandowski on CNN claims Trump is winning 29% of black vote in PA and 16% in NC

[anneboleyn]

29% of the African-American vote in PA? None of the pundits on CNN have corrected his numbers.

[RBInMaine]

1. And pigmy elephants moonwalk at the bottom of the sea.

[mcar]

27. +1000

[DarthDem]

2. There Is No Early Voting in

PA.

[anneboleyn]

23. See, but not ONE of the CNN idiots corrected that moron Lewandowski. It pisses me off!

[Maru Kitteh]

43. Did he cite this number specifically in relation to early votes?

What I get from the statement is that he is trying to say that their internal numbers are indicating these silly numbers.

Speculation?

I would guess that he is dishonestly referencing primary exit polling data; as in - of the minuscule number of black people who voted in the Republican primaries, 39% of them went for Trump in PA, 16% in NC, etc.

Trump used to LOVE walking around after the primaries squawking about how he got xx% of the African American vote!

3. And I'm starting Game 2 of the World Series tomorrow!

4. man is a shameless liar nt

[sarcasmo]

5. On the candy corn payroll saying candy corn is winning 29% of the black vote, shocker.

[Grey Lemercier]

7. he is smoking some proper weed

[appleannie1]

8. How would Lewandowski know what anyone will do in PA? We don't have early voting and most

blacks live in the cities and suburbs and they are heavily Dem in all communities because they are more diverse than the farmlands.

[meadowlark5]

9. No early voting? So does every Pennsylvanian have to manage to vote on 11/8?

No absentee or anything?

[appleannie1]

20. We have absentee voting but you have to have a reason to do so. Shut in, will be out of area,

military, whatever. It has to be received before the 8th. And yes, everyone votes on the 8th. I work the poll and have to be there at 6Am and cannot leave until all our work is done at the end of the night. We always allow a small number of watchers but they have to be registered and have a certificate saying they are. It is a limited amount and the poll where I work has never had more than two, and sometimes less. They are not allowed in until the polls open and can stay until the votes are counted at the end of the night. Most don't stay that long. The have to stay in their designated spot, away from the sign in area and the voting machines. They can challenge a person's right to vote though. But, they have to be from the county they are watching.

[meadowlark5]

22. Someone has a thread about states that don't have early voting

New York is another?

I can't believe states that are as populous as New York and Pennsylvania have only one single day to vote? That's a lot of people!

[Trenzalore]

30. We have had a republican legislature for years

Not exactly on the top of their priority list to expand voting

[appleannie1]

44. And they have gerrymandered the state so that losing control is almost impossible.

[Zynx]

10. No one gives a flying fuck about those panels.

Have you ever met a person who has changed their views on anything from watching a bunch of pundits yelling at each other? Neither have I.

[anneboleyn]

25. I know. I want to see that creep Lewandowski get his lying azz handed to him. He is a pathological

liar, and the way they let him rattle off insane, INSANE numbers, plus his incessant lying for Trump makes me want to barf. It is ridiculous.

[Stallion]

11. This was Just Posted on DI-Based on Steady 9% to 24% rise in RASMUSSEN POLLS over only 10 days

that is basically impossible to double -almost triple- black support in only 10 days ENDING- I might add- 12 Days ago. Trump was bombing in the polls during this period. What has happened over last 12 days. Its Rasmussen playing with the numbers

Here's the thread from DI with the alleged "factual basis"-doesn't pass the giggle test

19. Rasmussen doesn't weigh its samples according to the population, so you can get interesting results

If you have been here through the primaries, you will recall one group crowing over CNN polling results that did not provide breakouts for how a certain age group voted in a poll. When you drilled down you found out that around 30 of that age group were polled, but that was not enough to provide a large enough sample to make any determinations. That is what a reputable polling agency would say in that situation.

Since Rasmussen doesn't weight the samples of their polls properly (at all really) in order to reflect the demographics of the population, there is no telling how many African Americans were even polled. It could be a small and very unrepresentative sample.

If I poll ten African Americans and three of that sample said they prefer Trump where only one did of my sample of ten last week, that is a 20% increase. Can I ethically make that assertion since a sample of ten can't possibly tell me anything about the preferences of the larger population of African Americans in a state? No, but that might not stop certain polling agencies with a pronounced agenda.

[anneboleyn]

28. Thank you for posting this -- helps explain Lewandowski's fuzzy math "numbers"

[stevenleser]

12. Unless the "black vote" is white people with the last name Black, I'll bet he is mistaken. nt

[Stallion]

14. Good Catch-that's got to be it

[ailsagirl]

15. That could be what he meant

because it sure as hell can't be the truth

[ailsagirl]

13. Sure he is

[MyNameIsKhan]

16. lets watch how many votes he gets in 59 precints in philly, romney got 0

[Awsi Dooger]

17. This is like triple word score in Scrabble

That surrogate may be an idiot but he has a great Scrabble name. That's how he thinks.

Trump is in such desperate shape he now requires multiplication, not addition. Divide by 3.

[longship]

18. They're all asleep. In dreamland.

There's no other explanation.

[ananda]

21. That's only in cloudcuckooland.

I hear it's real nice there for Reep assholes.

[tonyt53]

26. They won't correct him because they don't want to go into fits of laughter.

[JRLeft]

29. LMFAO!

[beachbumbob]

32. Smokin crack..

[Cha]

33. mitt believed all their high polling, too.

[Lithos]

34. Only one thing to say

[Doodley]

35. Lewandowski made a simple mistake. He meant 2.9% and 1.6%

[geek tragedy]

36. Rasmussen isn't polling, it's therapy nt

[peggysue2]

37. This is deliberate

They want their supporters to believe this is much closer than it is. Then they can scream "THEFT" when The Donald loses badly. Roger Stone already telegraphed the plot line months ago. Can't win it? Delegitimize the outcome and go for civil strife.

These are alt-right arsonists. Their ultimate goal? Burn it down.

From where I sit this is nothing less than treason. We're going to need a lot of jail cells.

Twenty-five % of African Americans? Trump will be lucky to break double digits. In any state.

[steve2470]

38. he will be extraordinarily lucky to break 1% of the AA population! nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

41. They ain't gonna do shit

Let's stop talking up this nonsense.

[Efilroft Sul]

39. Lewandowski estimated about 29% and 16% too high in both states, respectively. n/t

[JI7]

40. CNN is a reality show . they aren't about reporting news/facts.

[JI7]

42. CNN Pays him to Lie while he gets paid and hangs out with the TRump Campaign at the SAme time

[UCmeNdc]

45. Are the votes being flipped?

How do they know?
