  1. The President is getting impeached and I am MAD about it

    • Maybe I will build a recording booth inside an old trailer, and go on the road hunting narrating gigs via Denny's wifi, then working deep in the Hundred Acre Woods on solar panels.

      • Also tbh if you somehow got “Trump is an illegitimate president and Clinton should never have conceded” from a purely numbers-based analysis of what polling looks like right now and how, Actually, they weren’t even wrong last time, then you probably have the total brain development of a baby anyway.

      • Oh my. I guess we DID agree on something. Ahwell. Show is over. I do not feel like I have to say to someone who thinks that the 2016 polls were right next to a big hotchpotch of other stuff (*) because it would not register at all. In fact I do not think I could say anything to someone suffering so severely from ( my best guess ) TDS and have, in any way, a worthwile conversation. To make matters worse, the [reply] button is not even used, making it more like a war of passive agressive post it notes by someone who has two mom's ( Believe me, I know ) which is infuriating by itself.

        (*) : Just look at the phletora of topics discarded and left unanswered, not to mention that I am kinda forced to assume some things I do not want to assume. Such as is this person in favour of HRC never having written a consession speech ?

        TL;DR : Show is over, I will not be playing the politics game anymore, at least for a while, most certainly not with a certain person

      • Trump, I will say, is better than any other Republican before him at energizing his base, but to focus only on his base - which is his public gameplan - would be a fatal mistake, and it’s, again, the same mistake Clinton made. It’s really weird how many Clinton-esque mistakes Trump is making right now.

      • And the 2016 polls weren’t “wrong” either, as I just explained. All results fell within the margin of error except MAYBE Iowa. Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, the results were not as expected by the general public but if you paid attention to the actual polls you could have easily expected the outcome we got. Trump isn’t some magic fifth-dimensional wizard who defies all political science and the suggest otherwise would be making the exact same mistake Clinton made in 2016.

          • For what this is worth to somebody who only accepts numbers that confirm his biases, polling was pretty much dead-on in 2018.
