I know, it's so ridiculously stupid to think that they believed this day was the end all be all.

This testimony was very bad for Trump, to be honest.

Obama got reelected despite having caused one of the worst recessions we've seen in a long time where a lot of people of lost their homes. Some low approval ratings are nothing in comparison and will easily be turned around.

"They were spot on"

Ya that's why she won about 2% more of the popular vote when polls had her up 30-40%.

Totally spot on! You're not being delusional yourself at all.

What poll had her up 30-40% over Trump??? None of them. They averaged about a 2-3% margin of victory for Clinton.

What is wrong with Trumpettes when it comes to facts?

What a dumb comment.

Lol at blaming Obama for the recession. Those pieces were well into play well before he took office. The only thing you can put blame on him for is his reaction to it.

Anyone with even a very small understanding of how a recession works or when it started in relation to Obama's first term knows that. Just very lazy trolling. Be happy you even got my response.

Let me explain this in better detail.

NYT and HuffPaint both had Clinton's chances of winning at a very high % because their aggregates had her winning a majority of electoral votes based off of state polling that had her anywhere from 2-5% in the lead in several states she lost.

Nate Silver had a decent breakdown of the potential flaw in this. His model iirc was 73-27 Clinton's favor (a 1 in 4 chance for Trump) but he emphasized that NYT and HuffPaint's models were very flawed because they assumed that one polling error would not relate across states with similar demographics, and the polling error that occurred in the midwest did carry from state-to-state, hence Trump hit the perceived 27% chance because polling in Midwestern states was, for reasons I haven't personally studied yet, flawed.

None of this has anything to do with National Polling, which was about as correct as it usually is, and is the basis for approval ratings.

I never specified that. I said the polls had her winning never anything about margins. I said they had Hilary up 30-40% which they were dead wrong about.

You guys assumed I said she was up 30-40 points. The polls were wrong across the board and its not disputed by the majority of people.

Also idk why you think I'm a trump supporter, you couldn't be more wrong.

Ya that's why she won about 2% more of the popular vote when polls had her up 30-40%.

Let me explain this in better detail.

NYT and HuffPaint both had Clinton's chances of winning at a very high % because their aggregates had her winning a majority of electoral votes based off of state polling that had her anywhere from 2-5% in the lead in several states she lost.

Nate Silver had a decent breakdown of the potential flaw in this. His model iirc was 73-27 Clinton's favor (a 1 in 4 chance for Trump) but he emphasized that NYT and HuffPaint's models were very flawed because they assumed that one polling error would not relate across states with similar demographics, and the polling error that occurred in the midwest did carry from state-to-state, hence Trump hit the perceived 27% chance because polling in Midwestern states was, for reasons I haven't personally studied yet, flawed.

None of this has anything to do with National Polling, which was about as correct as it usually is, and is the basis for approval ratings.


Completely agree. I was trying to refer to the %'s not the margins though if I didnt make that clear.

Only because we were talking % of popular vote so it was only fair to compare.

Holy shit this is just one of like 10 I pulled up in a few seconds looking.

Is this guy for real? The stupidity and delusion is so strong with this Amputee guy.


Do you understand the difference between a margin between candidates and a forecast on that candidate's likelihood of winning?


I never specified that. I said the polls had her winning never anything about margins. I said they had Hilary up 30-40% which they were dead wrong about.

You guys assumed I said she was up 30-40 points. The polls were wrong across the board and its not disputed by the majority of people.

Also idk why you think I'm a trump supporter, you couldn't be more wrong.


"Ya that's why she won about 2% more of the popular vote when polls had her up 30-40%." - your quote, post #29

Now go derp in the corner

The polls were absolutely correct.


30-40% and you quote me saying 30-40%.

What exactly did you just prove?

If a poll says Hillary has an 85% chance of winning and she not only loses but only gets 2% more of the popular vote please enlighten me how that poll was accurate?

All the polls that said something similar, they were all totally spot on.
