2016 ELECTION/2020 ELECTION/CAMPAIGN/POLLS: “We think we’re doing very well. We had some poll numbers a little while ago that are great. You know, it’s the same story: It’s suppression polls that we had in 2016. Phony polls. Fake news, phony polls. Same thing…
And then they say I’m leading by one point in Texas. They said it last time too. They said Texas is too close to call. This was, like, three months before the election. And then I won Texas in a blowout…
So, you know, it’s the same thing. We have the same thing. They’re phony polls. They’re suppression polls.”
