There's a reason why I said online polls are garbage...even the left-leaning ones.
"""Donald Trump supporters artificially manipulated the results of online polls to create a false narrative that the republican nominee won the first presidential debate on Monday night.
The efforts originated from users of the pro-Trump Reddit community r/The_Donald and 4chan messaged boards, which bombarded around 70 polls, including those launched by Time, Fortune, and CNBC."""
"""There's an unspoken rule of the internet: Never trust online polls. They're too easily corruptible."""
"""In this latest incarnation, multiple Reddit users enlisted the Trump-supporting masses on the r/The_Donald, which has over 200,000 subscribers, by posting dozens of online polls that are vulnerable to vote brigading, bots, and other forms of manipulation that make these non-scientific surveys notoriously unreliable."""

It doesn't take a hacker to do this. By simply using the "icognito" mode on your phone or desktop internet application, you're able to vote multiple times. You can also simply use different browsers or clear your cache and history. I tried it, it works a variety of ways.
The majority of the networks and debate panels, including Trump's FoxNews, gave the debate win to Hillary.

This is all speculation. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Fox News sent out a memo to remind their reporters not to use unscientific polls. Guess they were trying to reign in Hannity. Hannity who ragged on the online polling being bogus when it was favoring Ron Paul, but now believes they are correct.

This isn't "speculation." This has happened before. Many times.
Did you read the article?

No, I don't believe there was a concerted effort by HRC's supporters, because there's been no proof of it. Unlike the r/The_Donald reddit thread or 4chan threads. They weren't trying to hide it. It's a game for them.
It's why they did the same thing in 2012 with Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" online poll to have the winner be North Korea's Kim Jong-Un.
This isn't a knock on Trump himself. It's simply saying don't believe online polls. Why Trump supporters want to argue this is really dumb.

Nope.
You deflected to Clinton, which is always typical of Trump supporters. Then Originalist tried saying it was just speculation, which it's not. Reddit and 4chan have stated it happened. There are tweets and screenshots of this happening.

 Honestly, I don't even know what 4chan is. I thought it was a smartphone app. But no, I don't even go on Reddit because of the junk on there.
