No one cares what Nielsen is; what you are, nor what you are saying.

It doesn't exalt me, but now that you mention it, maybe it does!

Please, for your own self-respect, stop showing your ignorance so flagrantly!

Oh exalted one. Does this mean you are in charge here?

It would be totally absurd for you to pretend here that your glorification is not a big part of your imaginary world. You've repeatedly spoken about it and insisted that everyone believe it. But I guess openly demonstrating your absurdity is not something you pay heed to, if you're even conscious of it. :)

I'm just teasing you with your own terminology. You keep forgetting that I'm a divinely inspired prophet of all things spiritual, political and economic, or ESP as the first letter of each word suggests.

Please, somebody, give me a single example of where I have been wrong on anything on any level!

Strange question, already answered before it was asked ...

Three points:

Only the A.C. Nielsen Company Can Assure an Unrigged Election

The AC Nielsen company has no interest in representing the will of the people faithfully. As a private commercial corporation, it is only interested in maximising the return on its shareholder's investment and maximising the compensation of its CEO and board. Therefore it can never be trusted not to fake the results of its research in favour of the candidate who promises to do most to enrich its CEO, its board and its shareholders.

There's all kinds of voting fraud

Actually there isn't. The problem of voter fraud is hugely exaggerated by Republicans, seemingly in order to justify policies that depress the numbers of Democrat voters.

And again, everybody's views are not represented since less than half of the population bothers to go out and vote (the smart people). In other words, winning candidates are only selected by dummies.

This is incoherent, dude. What you seem to saying is that it is smart to have your views be not represented; that it is smart to have the dumb choice elected. That only make sense if you think smart people's ideas would be bad for the country.

Only a fool could think that.

And only a blithering idiot would think it a point worth making
... which naturally leads to another example of what's wrong with you, Bob—apparently you can't read!

Please, the A.C. Nielsen Company has been in business longer than you've been alive, and has gained a world-wide reputation as the leading market research company producing data that million-dollar companies use to make billion-dollar decisions. There is plenty of documented voter fraud and inaccuracy in trying to tabulate results from thousands upon thousands of voting locations. And the fact that half the population doesn't vote means they are not being properly represented, which Nielsen would be able to correct.

OK. So many of the polls were wrong about Trump winning. So we're supposed to believe that polling for Presidential elections will be accurate? :?

Please don't try to compare the A.C. Nielsen Company with the crap these so-called polls come out with!

Because nobody's paying them for their crap, and that's a pretty good definition of "crap."
