LOL! RW Washington Examiner leaves out fact Trump is Republican to spin poll #s on shutdown

This is hilarious:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/plurality-of-americans-would-blame-democrats-for-government-shutdown-poll/article/2646509


A plurality of Americans say they would blame Democrats if the government shuts down, according to a new poll.

Thirty-one percent of Americans would blame Democrats in Congress, while 26 percent said they would blame congressional Republicans, a CNN poll showed Friday.

Meanwhile, only 21 percent of Americans would hold President Trump responsible, and 10 percent would cast blame on all three.

-snip-




Maybe the Washingto Examiner could understand the poll numbers if they correctly read "Trump" as "the Republican in the White House."


Anyway, 47% will blame Republicans, versus 31% who'll blame Dems.
