Michael Cohen Says He Tried To Rig Online Polls 'at the Direction' of Donald Trump (cnbc.com)

Dan Mangan, writing for CNBC: President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and longtime fixer Michael Cohen on Thursday said he tried to rig online polls -- including one conducted by CNBC -- "at the direction and for the sole benefit of" Trump when he was thinking about making a run for the White House. "I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn't deserve it," Cohen said in a tweet copping to the electronic chicanery to have Trump's name rank higher in online polls than it otherwise would have.

Cohen's admission came shortly after The Wall Street Journal published a story detailing how he retained an information technology company to manipulate a 2014 CNBC online poll identifying the nation's top 100 business leaders to bolster Trump's chances of making that list. That effort failed. And Trump himself fumed in 2014 on Twitter about his absence from CNBC's poll results.

I'll bite... You're beautifully demonstrating the usual leftist mindset... "you either think like us in the path to Righteousness, or you're just a dumbfuck/sociopath/nazi baby killer..." pathetic.

There was no good or reasonably intelligent reason to vote for Trump

I didn't vote for Trump, but I can give you a good reason to vote for him over Hillary:

Hillary is a warmonger. Specifically, she is happy to use the military as a diplomacy tool. Whereas chief president blowhard has such strong confidence in his negotiating, talking skills, that he will try to talk the other side into doing what he wants, instead of trying to invade them.

Hillary was the pro-war option.
