The funny part is that we reached almost 40% of the total 2016 vote prior to that story even coming out

This is the part where their fantasy world conflicting with reality will bite them in the ass.

I actually went and fact-checked you on 538, and their model really did have an 89.1% chance of victory for Hillary at one point in... June? July? eh, I'm too lazy to go look again. And then it was in the upper 80% range after the first two debates. The impact of the Comey announcement on the polling is stark.

Because there's nothing for me to learn. Polls have a margin of error. Only an idiot would think polls guarantee anything.

There was a 90% "nowcast" forecast immediately after Donald Trump insulted the gold star family at the DNC. So if you look up the date on that comment that's when the projection was.

Note that 538's forecasts were updated daily and tanked right after Comey announced that he was going to look through more emails.

Surely the 60M votes cast already is bad news for Trump. Higher voter turnout always favours Dems

It is bad news for Trump, but it's still not certain that he'll lose.

I think every trump supporter should be enrolled in therapy and re-education, so they can be taught how to be decent human beings and shed the awful beliefs they have.

the irony.

So you're just being delusional, that's a bit worse

Anyone who thinks a landslide is going to happen in this political climate is delusional.

Anyone who still puts stock in the polls after how badly they got it wrong in 2016 is delusional.

Not going to believe it's over until inauguration day.

Voted Biden in Florida, so I've done my part.
