Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Clinton leads by only 4 points in NJ and within the MOE in RI? WOW!
Emerson College Poll

There was also a Michigan poll yesterday that had Trump within the MOE.

MI was always supposed to be somewhat competitive. He has actually been campaigning there.

One thing extremely misleading with state numbers is that some have not been polled since long before the conventions.

I meant serious about this being a good example of that line of thinking.

Nonsense? I would have thought you'd be totally on board with this 'strategy' and be explaining its brilliance. It's not the first issue they've done this with either. Try to placate the broader electorate while still giving the die-hards space to project the none-PC views onto him.

Why not? I picked it using RCP data. If the elections were held today it may very well end up like that.

You gave Nevada, New Hampshire, and North Carolina (25 votes) to Trump, despite the fact that Clinton is still currently leading in those states. That explains why I came out with 293-245 Clinton.

We are seeing Trump gaining ground though, yesterday we saw a 19 vote swing in favor of Trump.

Campaign strategies are exciting when it's the executed by the campaign, not when they're strategized out by a biased media company.

Wait, you mean despite my vote still not actually counting it's at least closer to counting?
As I have said from day one. EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!!
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

I'm not disagreeing, but he's wrong because the only numbers we have right now are the ones that show Hillary leading.
It might be a decent prediction, but he implied that he wasn't trying to predict.

I hadn't thought of it before, but maybe the strategy of this headline was to suggest that Kellyane Conway, and not Trump, controls the campaign.

The most recent poll in Nevada would have Trump ahead in a dead heat, NC even RCP has a dead heat with old polls, most recent NH is HRC+1 from a week ago.

Dead heat doesn't mean it goes automatically to Trump, just like the dead heat in Ohio/Florida doesn't automatically fall to HRC.
The correct thing would be to either make a prediction or split the dead heats.
