The Donald won’t be getting any satisfaction from the Rolling Stones’ recent comments.

The British rockers have told the Republican’s presumptive presidential nominee to stop using their music at his campaign rallies across the U.S.
“The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately,” a spokesperson for the Stones told the BBC this week.

Over the last year Trump and his team have been making heavy use of the Stones’ 1981 hit Start Me Up at campaign stops during his efforts to secure the GOP nomination, now all but in the bag. The rather aptly titled You Can’t Always Get What You Want has been another oft-used track.

And? So this is another 'let's bash Trump with anything we can' post? It's all pretty pathetic - but predictable.

All depends on one's POV, doesn't it?

What you see as "pathetic and pointless" may seem to others quite different.

I see thie following numbers as pathetic and pointless, at least from Trump's POV. The most recent poll, May 4th: "At the starting gate: Clinton leads Trump by double-digits, 54% to 41%.

Quite a bashing.

Sanders does even better.

Rasmussan - What a joke.

"The 105 polls released in Senate and gubernatorial races by Rasmussen Reports and its subsidiary, Pulse Opinion Research, missed the final margin between the candidates by 5.8 points, a considerably higher figure than that achieved by most other pollsters. Some 13 of its polls missed by 10 or more points, including one in the Hawaii Senate race that missed the final margin between the candidates by 40 points, the largest error ever recorded in a general election in FiveThirtyEight’s database, which includes all polls conducted since 1998.

Moreover, Rasmussen’s polls were quite biased, overestimating the standing of the Republican candidate by almost 4 points on average. In just 12 cases, Rasmussen’s polls overestimated the margin for the Democrat by 3 or more points. But it did so for the Republican candidate in 55 cases — that is, in more than half of the polls that it issued.

If one focused solely on the final poll issued by Rasmussen Reports or Pulse Opinion Research in each state — rather than including all polls within the three-week interv
