Trump: There's something 'phony' about these polls
Source: The Hill
"I see some great polls I see one from the Los Angeles Times, just came out, where were ahead by 4 or 5 points. I see one from CNN where we are down," the Republican presidential nominee told the crowd at a rally in Ashburn, Va., on Tuesday.
"I think these polls, I don't know, there's something about these polls, there's something phony."
He went on to hammer CNN characterizing the network as "negative all day long" and said the network's ratings will go down because he won't sit for an interview. Trump said CNN is asking for an interview with him for a documentary it's doing, but he will refuse.
CNN's poll from Monday night found Trump trailing Clinton, his Democratic counterpart, by 9 points, a 7-point bump from before the Democratic convention. But the USC Dornsife / LA Times Presidential Election Poll, released daily, found Trump with a 2-point lead on Tuesday.

Poor, poor Donald

Conspiracy thy name is Drumpf.

Nothing this asshole does annoys me more than the use of 'there's something there...' conspiracy theory catnip.
I wish there was a way I could send a taser jolt through his body every time he uttered the phrase if for no other reason than the hilarity of seeing his hair fly everywhere...
