[Continuing our series on deception and misdirection in politics and public policy.]
Donald Trump's continuing decline in the polls is a clear indicator that the GOP is facing disaster--that Trump will lose cataclysmically in November, perhaps becoming the first candidate to win a negative number of electoral votes, and that every other Republican on the ballot, from governors to U.S. Senators to Zika mosquito squashers, will perish in a landslide comparable to the Ruatoria debris avalanche off North Island, New Zealand, circa 170,000 B.C.
I know this because the news media tell me so. Trump's poll numbers, I'm told, have been plummeting, collapsing, and falling in free fall, even as they have been both shrinking and sinking.
