Quinnipiac poll shows who would stay and fight if US was invaded and who would run

Elizabeth Warren calls them "fire sticks"

A Quinnipiac University national poll of U.S. adults conducted from March 4 to March 6, asked subjects if faced with a situation in which the country was invaded by an enemy, whether they would stay and fight [using their Second Amendment rights to own a gun for one such purpose] or to flee. The results were predictable.

Fully 68% Republicans said they would stay and fight, while a mere 40% of Democrats would do the same. Regarding independents, 57% said they would stay and fight.

In regard to whether those who would not fight, only 25% Republicans say they would leave the U.S. and 36% of independents would also flee the country. However, 52% of Democrats said they would leave the U.S. possibly because they aren't very fond of the U.S. in the first place. 

The overall number of people in the poll saying they would fight totaled 55% while 38% they would leave the country.

Another area covered in the poll was about Russian oil. A large majority (71%) said they would back. ban on Russian oil even if it would raise gas prices significantly.

Over half (60%) in the poll believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin is mentally unbalanced, while only 21% thought that the Russian figure is mentally stable.

A "reliable" poll says Americans still want to kill babies & no wall

According to a new Quinnipiac University poll, the same poll that found Clinton up in Pennsylvania right before the election, a majority of Americans do not support the rights of the unborn and therefore do not support the overturning of Roe v Wade as Trump promised during his campaign.

Tim Malloy (aka "The Real Malloy") director of the Quinnipiac University poll said "Two of President-elect Donald Trump's signature campaign mantras get hearty thumbs down." Then he gleefully added, "Voters to Trump: No way on reversing Roe v Wade and not a chance on building that wall."

A full 64% of those surveyed said they agreed with the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion and of that 69% another 87% said that they have no problem with partial birth abortion, and 100% of that group changed their minds after seeing a partial birth abortion up close and personal. [Everything in italics was made up by me, but you get the point.]

When it comes to immigration, 55% opposed building a wall, and of those, 98% were either Mexican illegal immigrants or ISIS jihadists. [Same italics deal.]

Of those who opposed a wall, 60% say they support a path to citizenship and another 12% of American voters say illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country, but not become citizens and not live in their neighborhoods.

An overwhelming 76% said prejudice against minority groups is a somewhat serious-to-serious problem, but not so much for anti-Semitism or white male conservatives. Forty-three percent expressed concern about more discrimination and violence against minorities following the election [in spite of lack of evidence for minority violence and increased incidents of violence against police and white "privileged" people].

A total of 68% of American voters, according to this poll, said they were "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about climate change and say Trump needs to keep those thousands upon thousands upon thousands of useless regulations in place that are intended to fight climate change. 

Think of the arrogance of human beings who believes that they have the power to prevent Mother Earth from throwing whatever she intends to throw at us just by using paper instead of plastic and recycling their wine bottles.

Whatever you think about any of this, remember how accurate the polls were in the presidential election. They say they have a margin of error plus or minus 3 percentage points. I say their margin of error is a joke.

I just hope Trump doesn't use polls like this one to justify going back on his promises. He has already begun that process.
