I say Sanders can’t beat Trump. Shaft posts polls showing he can. I post polls showing Clinton can beat Trump. She didn’t.

I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain this...

Another myth is that Trump’s victory represented some sort of catastrophic failure for the polls. Trump outperformed his national polls by only 1 to 2 percentage points in losing the popular vote to Clinton, making them slightly closer to the mark than they were in 2012. Meanwhile, he beat his polls by only 2 to 3 percentage points in the average swing state.3 Certainly, there were individual pollsters that had some explaining to do, especially in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where Trump beat his polls by a larger amount. But the result was not some sort of massive outlier; on the contrary, the polls were pretty much as accurate as they’d been, on average, since 1968.

Didn’t see you posted this but looks pretty accurate. She won popular vote by almost 3 points.

I'm thinking more of the mainstream media predictions, my kneejerk reaction is to erroneously lump them in with polls.

If it's anything like Canada there will be a much larger mass of voters going to vote this time around to ensure Trump is outed. I suspect the only way he stays in power is through aggressive gerry mandering and outright cheating. There's also an impressive amount of idiots living in the US...

By that same logic you can argue there will be a much larger mass of voters to ensure Trump stays.

We have the same retarded system in Canada, propped up by the retarded masses. Working and middle class gets screwed by corrupt liberals and fake progressives, the elites get tax cuts. Vote for conservatives. Canada falls back towards the biblical middle ages, the economy tanks, and the elites get tax cuts. Vote for liberals. Rinse and fucking repeat :alert: :dts:
