Strangely he's going after The Des Moines Register. Sound like a small newspaper company.

Ugh, I have to hear "elections have consequences" for the next term every time he does anything shitty.

We know. He sucks, it sucks, this sucks.

that poll, where it was, and its timing--probably helped him more than hurt him.

If this suit somehow won, Rassmussen would be out of business the next day as dozens if not hundreds of members of Congress filed similar lawsuits.

... ofcourse it is ... It just might not be a basis of a legitimate win but winning by draining the enemy of resources is a win as well.

Correction. "Your poll made Trump made WASN'T a valid basis for a lawsuit." FTFY.
