Paul, of course I can review past Rasmussen results, but it’s more fun to snipe at your attempts to torture the data so, go on ahead.
I not only “claim to be a Libertarian”, I have consistently voted Libertarian. That I appear to “boost Trump” at times is because Democratic partisans are currently the biggest and most consistent liars, yourself included.
Here’s the op-ed of the day as far as I’m concerned, VDH’s latest:”The FBI Tragedy: Elites above the Law”
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/06/fbi-tragedy-elites-above-law/
A snippet:

“Just imagine: If an agent Peter Strozk interviewed you and overstepped his purview, would you, the aggrieved, then appeal to his boss, Andrew McCabe? And if Andrew McCabe ignored your complaint, would you, the wronged, then seek higher justice from a James Comey, who in turn might rely on a legal opinion from a Lisa Page or a brief from a James Baker? And failing that, might a Robert Mueller as an outside auditor rectify prior FBI misconduct?
Fairly or not, the current FBI tragedy is that an American citizen should be duly worried about his constitutional rights any time he is approached by such senior FBI officials. That is not a slur on the rank and file, but the legacy of the supposed best and brightest of the agency and their distortions of the bureau’s once professional creed.”

As a libertarian Libertarian, I find the above chilling.
For mindless BlueMeanieism, your continued demand to call Pflueger the “winner” in Nevada County takes the cake.

The persecution of the Colorado baker. Another discrimination lawsuit…his third.
“As the nearly decade-long backlash against Chick-fil-A has shown us, left-wing gay activists are perhaps the pettiest and most vengeful people in America. They will pursue their enemies for as long as it takes, using whatever tactics are necessary, gleefully destroying lives in the process. And Jack Phillips has now surpassed the chicken chain as their public enemy number one.
We can make assumptions based on the fact that Scardina spent months harassing Phillips with orders for bizarre and offensive cake designs. Newsweek describes one of the more objectionable requests:
“I’m thinking a three-tiered white cake. Cheesecake frosting,” the customer wrote in the June 4 email, according to Phillips’ lawsuit filed in Denver’s federal court on Tuesday. “And the topper should be a large figure of Satan, licking a 9′ black dildo. I would like the dildo to be an actual working model, that can be turned on before we unveil the cake.”
“One can’t help but feel a certain amount of pity for Scardina, who is clearly a pathetic and disturbed person. But he is also a bully and a harasser, and the only thing that should be filed in court with his name on it is a restraining order.”
https://www.dailywire.com/news/48270/walsh-persecution-jack-phillips-matt-walsh?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=benshapiro
——————-
The Federalist’s take on the baker.
“In any event, the Colorado commissioners went after Phillips only one day after SCOTUS ruled in his favor. And on June 26, 2017, the day the Supreme Court agreed to hear Phillips’s case, the lawyer and transgender activist Autumn Scardina called Masterpiece Cakeshop, one of dozens of bakeries in the Denver area—there is one approximately a quarter of a mile from Masterpiece Cakeshop—and asked Phillips to design a custom cake with a blue exterior and a pink interior to symbolize a transition from male to female, or, as her lawyer now claims, her “birthday cake.”
“Phillips turned Scardina down, because, well, he turns down every request for specialized cakes that aggravate his long-held religious views, and not only from customers who are gay or transgendered.
“I was stunned,” Scardina claimed in her complaint to the Civil Rights Commission. Scardina, of course, wasn’t stunned, at all. The activist didn’t happen to fortuitously contact the most famous Christian baker in the country to make a “transition” cake on the very day SCOTUS took on his case. Scardina was part of a mob that had been harassing Phillips.
“Previously, Scardina—going by “Autumn Marie” and other monikers—was the one who allegedly asked for “an image of Satan smoking marijuana.” In another request from “the Church of Satan”— also, according to a complaint, likely Scardina—Phillips was asked to make “a three-tiered white cake” with a “large figure of Satan, licking a nine inch black Dildo.” How creative, right? “I would like the dildo to be an actual working model that can be turned on before we unveil the cake,” went the request.
“The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ended up dropping the case against Phillips, not because the attack was a transparent way to punish Phillips for his beliefs, but because the Alliance Defending Freedom sued Colorado in federal court and they would surely have lost.
“…… Scardina filed yet another suit against Phillips, this time in Denver District Court. “The dignity of all citizens in our state needs to be honored….
Although it’s true that bullies like Scardina don’t have much dignity, it has nothing to do with their gender identity….”

News just broke that Michael Flynn has hired vocal special counsel critic Sidney Powell to represent him. Oh goodie, I like Sydney Powell.
“But with Mueller gone and evidence continuing to mount that his investigation was a political hit job, and that the special counsel report misrepresented key facts, Flynn may fare better now if he attempts to change strategies. The optics also now favor Flynn, with news that Mueller used child predator George Nader as a key witness in the Russia collusion investigation, and that a delay in pursuing criminal charges against Nader while he cooperated with Mueller allowed Nader to flee the country. (Nader was since arrested when he attempted to return to the United States.)
“Yet, even with witnesses of the likes of Nader, and efforts by the special counsel’s office to squeeze those closest to the Trump team, like Flynn, Mueller failed to find any evidence of Russia collusion. These developments may strengthen Flynn’s resolve to fight the criminal case.

The Talking Points Have Gone Out: Elizabeth Warren has a plan. Just ask the DNC-MSM:
Propelled by her “I’ve got a plan for that” motto, Warren has improved as a retail politician since her first successful U.S. Senate bid in 2012.

Here is just a short list of recent headlines:
Washington Post: Warren’s nonstop ideas reshape the Democratic presidential race — and give her new momentum

“The governor of the US state of Illinois on Wednesday enacted a law establishing a “fundamental right” to abortion and removing old laws that criminalized the procedure.
The Illinois law was passed in response to a wave of bans and restrictions approved in other states, and Governor JB Pritzker hailed it as “a beacon of hope in the heart of this nation.”
The law repeals criminal penalties on abortion providers, codifying what had already been de facto law through court rulings.
The measure also requires private health insurance companies in the state to cover abortion procedures.
“We are building a firewall around Illinois to protect reproductive access for everyone,” state representative Kelly Cassidy, one of the law’s chief sponsors said.”

[Joe Morrissey] went to jail for his sex crime, and won a special election in his blue district from behind bars. He emphatically denied sexual contact with the teenaged intern, then denied paternity of the baby she delivered months later. He finally admitted the child was his. In addition to being a convicted sex offender, he’s also a disbarred lawyer: “Morrissey is no stranger to controversy. His law license was suspended after he had been cited for contempt 10 times and he was jailed or forcibly detained for misconduct five times, according to court papers. His license was revoked in 2003 for failing to tell clients he had been suspended.” Morrissey’s license was reinstated for awhile, then was revoked again in 2018.
And on Tuesday night, Virginia Democrats voted for this guy in the primary election for state Senate:
