Meaningless stats to prove viability? sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #1

He's saying he's the most popular candidate who doesn't have TV mentions.
Whoopdee do.

He's still second tier and moving the goalposts to make him seem like he's leading is disingenuous. But cling to whatever you have to in order to convince yourself that he's viable.

I believe most people would see the numbers and perceive a more nuanced meaning than you seem to have done

Good luck to you

A circular argument is a defect in an argument whereby the premises are just as much in need of proof or evidence as the conclusion, and as a consequence the argument fails.

Precisely as did yours.

"But cling to whatever you have to convince yourself you made a valid point..."

What the graph shows is that despite the media constantly treating him like he doesn't exist, he's still doing better in the polls than several of the candidates which the media does acknowledge with lots of coverage and speaking time in debates.
