When did conservatives become the anti-war, pro free speech crowd? Oh yeah, when Trump got elected. It's not genuine. They don't want to stand up to North Korea or Russia anymore, but they'll gladly support Trump if he starts a war with Iran or Venezuela. And what short memories. Now, we have conservatives saying, "The liberal media was pushing for the Iraq war." What? Are they too young to remember or just trying to revise history?
As for free speech, they're quick to condemn criticism of their own as "hate speech", but have no problem with Trump trashing the American free press in the presence of journalist killers like MBS, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin. Ignorant, tribal, hypocritical double standards. They're simply anti-liberal, no matter what the facts are.
Just remember, Trump was for the Iraq war before he was against it, and he says we should have TAKEN THEIR OIL. And remember, Trump is the habitual liar who paid for fake polls and spent his life planting stories in the tabloids. "Fake news" is his specialty.

What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you.
In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins.
Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote.
Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY.
In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible than to fudge the numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means MONEY.
Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition.
Maybe I'm missing something. So, please, tell me how a fake poll helps a candidate.

Is it because Trump used the slogan, "drain the swamp", you cult followers think he, himself, can't possibly be crooked? Is that it? His cabinet is as crooked as a barrel of snakes. Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt, Tom Price, Rob Porter, and Mike Flynn were ousted in scandal. Ben Carson is under suspicion. Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates pleaded guilty to felonies. Just wait and see how it goes with Don Jr, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Jarred Kushner, and Ivanka Trump. Hell, even Eric "Short Bus" Trump is being looked at for charity fraud. "All the best people", right?

Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years - a strategy he's used all his life.
He hasn't suggested any solutions to the "problems" with mail-in voting. It's absurd to want school open now, but say it's too unsafe to vote in November.
He asked Russia, China, and Ukraine to help him win, even by investigating Americans. He said taking foreign government help is okay. (It's illegal). He says it's "oppo research" (when HE does it. When opponents do legal oppo research on him, he calls it treason).
It's likely Russia will attack the election. Obama prepared for a cyber attack on election day. I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't, and Putin knows it.
In 2012, Trump said Obama would start a war with Iran to get re-elected. Apparently, Trump thinks that could work. It wouldn't surprise me if he did that.
Turnout favors Democrats. Trump knows that. 50% of voters say they wouldn't vote for him under ANY circumstances. He's never reached across the aisle, and never had a day with over 50% approval. He considers everyone who didn't vote for him an enemy. He HAS to cheat to win, and he's given every reason to think he will.
