Thread by which I will likely commit career suicide by confronting the #1 clicked on website in "conservative media" -- yet I'm so mad at what's being done to #AlfieEvans I don't care.

@DRUDGE_REPORT

So @DRUDGE_REPORT has been the #1 website in conservative media for years. There is NOTHING on its front page about Alfie losing his latest appeal to stave off execution by the state.

Nothing.

Not a damned thing.

But Drudge does have the following headlines trending:

"Roseanne's ratings fall to earth"
"Wild sex parties driving upscale community crazy"
"Kanye unleashed"
"Monkey dressed as blond doll forced to beg in India"

Somehow those matter more than a ritualistice execution of an innocent child in public by what's behaving as a polices state. Who needs CNN if our own most popular "conservative media" behaves like this? Why complain about Twitter scrubbing Alfie when Drudge does?

My only question is if Drudge is ignoring what we care about, or feeding us what we care about? That we care more about these meaningless stories on Drudge's front page than Western Civilization crossing a point of no return?

This is why we lose, even when we win. Why it feels like the Left is running the country, even though there's more Republicans in elected office nationwide in almost 90 years. We either don't care, can't be bothered, or are lions led by lambs.

Now that we're post-Labor Day, the real 2018 election push is underway...here's a primer thread for those who want real instead of partisan tribalism these final 60 days.

1) No, the polls were not wrong in 2016. In fact, the RCP national average almost nailed the final popular vote. Plus, most of the battleground state polls were within MOE. The polls performed pretty well in 2016.

2) Who got it way wrong in 2016 were election forecasters that predicted what the polling data meant. Largely, they assumed Hillary's organizational edge would win these MOE states like Obama did in 2012. Except she was far more disliked than Obama.
