Kellyanne Conway earned her chops as a pollster and spinmeister.<\/p>\n

Consider, then, what Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump’s new campaign manager has said.<\/p>\n

It is that polls would show Trump doing better if “undercover voters” would reveal to pollsters that they are voting for her guy.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to understand what she’s saying here.<\/p>\n

I think that she’s suggesting that Trump’s millions of voters are too ashamed to admit out loud to strangers that they’re planning to vote this fellow.<\/p>\n

Am I mistaken? Is that what “undercover voter” means?<\/p>\n

If you’re committed to a candidate for high public office and someone calls you to conduct a public opinion survey, it would follow — normally, I guess — that you would be unafraid to tell the pollster how you think about an upcoming election.<\/p>\n

Trump’s supporters, according to Conway,\u00a0are keeping their thoughts to themselves.<\/p>\n

Someone explain that one to me.<\/p>\n

Please?<\/p>\n
