Yes. She was another one. Even Gerald Ford. Remember how they depicted him
You don’t get to define our premises for us, then argue that we’re ‘evolving’ them when we correct you.
BTW, HRC electoral college landslide? Weeks out there may have been projections along those lines, with EC votes approaching 400, but the polls narrorwed considerably in the last ten days; who was predicting a this landslide on election day?./QUOTE]
Only to those who refuse to pay attention to underlying polling data.
In this day and age, it is not really so odd. Reality is just too frightening for most of us; fantasy is more reassuring. Trump is thought of as the new messiah; so was Obama. Hopefully, Trump will prove himself in the months and years to come.
Obama is still treated like the messiah. Look at how MSNBC treated his visit to Canada today. The host was all smiles and giggling and giddy like a school girl. Pathetic!
Who is the host you are referring to?
The host who was on 9:00am central time
I haven’t; the “us” that you refer have regularly posted blanket claims about polls being wrong, without the elaboration in your premise.
It is interesting that the that in about a third of the paths, Trump wins, yet their statistical modelling had 17:3 odds against. They may have underestimated the correlation in voting patterns, and treated the votes in various states as though they were independent trials. Silver incorporated a model of correlation in his model and that is presumably why his odds were much lower at 2:1. These odds at the day of election did not make Trump’s victory a long shot.
Short form. It’s easier than typing out ‘the polls were wrong because the political forces behind them were determined to produce a specific outcome and massaged the numbers to get the result they wanted, thereby manipulating the electorate into believing their fake numbers.’
That was just the first one that came up when I did a search. I’m not going to link to the 100,000 or more stories about the various polls being useless. Many polls that came out during the election had similarly skewed demographic breakdowns, consistently underestimating Republicans and Independents while adding in extra Democrats, completely out of line with the actual demographic breakdown of the population at large.
Which is why the polls suddenly started to show the race narrowing (but still with Clinton always winning) as the day got closer, because their credibility took a huge hit during the entire election cycle. Most of us have zero confidence in the believability of any of the pollsters now.
That was an example of wishcasting, where they couldn’t bring themselves to report the numbers honestly, even to themselves. Again, they’ve blown all hope of being trusted now. Remember, the NYT wrote an editorial piece where they admitted that they weren’t going to worry about journalistic integrity anymore because they had to destroy Donald Trump. So anything, anything at all, that they wrote about the campaign after that was automatically worthless.
Thanks for posting that important history fact. Very interesting read.
I noticed that too. He is in the presence of the messiah. Whatever words come out of
Yep. They’re still mad that the slaves were freed.
Metaphorically speaking,the Dems have enslaved the black population in other ways.
The Civil War was to Democrats what the Crusades were to Muslims. Neither one forgets or forgives, no matter what happens later.Metaphorically speaking,the Dems have enslaved the black population in other ways.
I thought you didn’t watch mainstream media.
It doesn’t really matter how you justify it. We saw all these fake polls used throughout the campaign used as propaganda on the left and the media to convince Trump voters it was no use voting for him because he was going to lose and lose big. They used the polls to say we were basically crazy even supporting this guy because he didn’t have a chance at winning.
Indeed.
After the U.S. Civil War, the Democrats started up the KKK.
Wow! Watching MSNBC! Good for you. You may have noticed that the host at 9:00 is Stephanie Ruhl. Not a he.
