I think you might want to consult with Al Gore on that matter....
Just saying....
Both campaigns seemed to think Romney was winning it. Their chosen venues for election night were one giveaway. I remember Michelle Obama giving a speech the night before, near tears, and talking about the Obama presidency in the past tense...as if there was no way they’d win.
I think Trump should be an over the top solicitous gentlemen. Allow her to enter first, express concern for her physical health. Offer her a chair. I think that’s the way to treat the old bag. It will piss off the feminists and make normal people think he is polite and caring.
Bush never came close to a 5% lead in either 2000 or 2004.
Yep. I figure its about 5% of the vote too.
Does this genius realize there are other names on the ballot that will lower those numbers?
The fact that a crook like Hillary Clinton is even competitive in a national election truly shows that we’re indeed a very sick society.
Just when you think Trump can’t go any lower — today, he was blatantly polite and gentlemanly. The man has no shame! (Channeling Hillarybots.)
The nerve of that guy.
What about 3rd party pull. Too slim a margin to overcome fraud and lost votes to 3rd party.
If that occurs there will be rwii/cwii. And they know it.
But my first post stands. In a non disputed race, concession shows good manners and has no legal ramifications. There have been candidates who conceded a race on election night and they wake up the next morning to discover they won because of absentee votes. They still won the race because they got the most votes. Conceding the race is irrelevant.
In a disputed race with Trump, you may be correct, but hopefully doing the right thing and the truth still means something today, but we will see. Wish you well.
Your tagline is 100% correct.
They would not be so nuts if they could win it by fraud.
White men decide this election.
Get Out The Vote
The left will go berserk and take to the street insisting that he is too deranged to govern. They simply are not capable of being defeated by Trump.
Bogus. There are two other candidates in this race too and they’re going to draw more than 1% of the vote. up to 12% in worst case scenario. Anything above becomes a black swan event.
See if you can be an election judge. You’ll at least get paid for it. Most require at least two judges from each party.
"However, in an unusual move, Abramowitz is throwing his own model under the bus and suggesting that Clinton will win because Trump is so different from past presidential candidates and has such high unfavorability ratings that his election forecast basics can't be trusted."
Another nothing story predicting a Trump loss.
It would be nice if this were correct, but I don’t trust it at all. Statistical models like this one are unlikely to be as accurate during this election - for technical reasons that are not worth explaining.
Decent Americans need to do more than we’re doing to win this year. We need to volunteer in get-out-the-vote efforts. We need to volunteer as poll watchers. We need to volunteer on Trump phone banks. We need to talk with friends about the election so they have a perspective on Trump that doesn’t come from the mainstream media. Trump can win, but a whole lot more of us need to get involved to make sure this election is outside the margin of fraud.
