Wow, just wow. Looks like we haven't hit rock bottom yet.

I think it's a mistake for Democrats to shun the Fox network for presidential debates. Understandable, because Fox & Friends has become Trump TV, but it's short-sighted, and just feeds their narrative that 'liberals hate free speech'. It's literally 'free' to have political debates on any cable network. And a decent chunk of Fox watchers that aren't Trumpian sycophants are probably undecided/swing voters.
It only took a few thousand votes, in a handful of states, to get the required electoral college votes that elected Trump. Fox played an important role, but ignoring them won't make the Democrat's message any louder.
Yeah it doesn't come as a surprise that people lie in polls. Trump supporters just picking the option they think most helps Trump. I remember a long ass time ago when people asked groups of Muslims about the holocaust. In one poll the question was "Is the holocaust a hoax the Jews perpetrated?" Got 50+% agreeing with the statement. Another poll in the same region (different people) asked if the holocaust was a good thing. 50+% agreed with the statement. The idea is that any poll answer that painted their opponent in the worst light is the one that people circled. Everyone likes to bring up cognitive dissonance in that example but it isn't that complicated.
For what its worth I talk politics with a number of people in person in Texas, some are die hard Trump supporters. Not a single one of them would say he accomplished more than any other president. People lie to pollsters.
