SergeantMatt Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Trump's up to 35.5% chance of victory on 538's poll plus, Nevada is leaning his way. If he holds the states leaning towards him, he just has to flip New Hampshire or Colorado and he wins. Sturgeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 From what I hear, his chances of winning Colorado are probably pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Not gonna lie, when I see shit like that where someone/some group has "predicted the last N elections correction" correctly, what runs through my head is:"Did you hear that Blort's is predicting that the Indians will win the Series?""Who is Blort's and why should I care what they think?""They predicted the winners of the last TEN Super Bowls correctly!"

Belesarius Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 This election is gonna be a bonanza for Political Science academics for years. There are gonna be so many research papers written on how this went down it's ridiculous. If we all don't die in a Nuclear War in the next two years.

"Who is Blort's and why should I care what they think?" "They predicted the winners of the last TEN Super Bowls correctly!" I feel this way about stock market oracles as well. "Did you hear about this guy who has made good picks in the last five years?" "Sure. Did you hear about the time half a million people rolled dice and one of them rolled six sixes in a row?"

Priory_of_Sion Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 A thought: America's 2016 election is actually normal, at least compared to the rest of the world. What's been weird is the ~150 years of a stable American government, where every other major country seems to be in political upheaval every so often. This is especially true if the outcome of the 2016 election turns out to be relatively tame, which I think is likely if Clinton is Obama 2.0 or if Trump turns out to be decent. Even compared to what's happening now, the 2016 election doesn't actually seem "worse" than what's happening in South Korea or not as impactful long term as Brexit will likely be and neither president is likely to get to Hollande's current level of approval in France (4% iirc) even if they are the most despised people in American politics.

South Korea is primed to launch cruise missiles in the attempt to assassinate Kim Jung Un, and risk a nuclear exchange, so actually it isn't that different.

Donward Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I see Donald Trump has received the coveted Dave Chappelle vote. Dave Chappelle Slams Clinton, Defends Most Gangsta Candidate Ever Donald Trump And while this news might have been relevant were it still 2004, it's been apparent for a long time that Chappelle has always been at heart a core Trump supporter. http://www.cc.com/video-clips/7nnosh/chappelle-s-show--frontline----clayton-bigsby-pt--1---uncensored http://www.cc.com/video-clips/ga0sc4/chappelle-s-show--frontline----clayton-bigsby-pt--2---uncensored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
