Polls-plus is more favorable because it includes economic data that historically favors the out party.

That is true—the data also functions as ballast so that events that seem important now but will fade are not given quite so much weight as they have in the current poll. Also along these lines, I think Polls-plus gives more weight to reversion to mean.

Technically, it’d be 100% or 0% ... he either wins or he doesn’t. There’s no half presidency. Ask Al Gore about the value of some 537 votes (or whatever the final # was). We have to do everything we can to see that he is 100% the next POTUS.

Interesting that a month or two ago Sloe Joe was a 100-1 long shot. Now he is up to 25-1, ahead of Kaine even.

The petty memes that are the web of lies that have been spun around us must be shed. OWS, BLM, free stuff, all tiny pieces of the big scheme. All of these incessant memes are merely red herrings. They are the fabric of the bullfighters flag. We are not dumb enough to go after the flag, we must go after the bullfighter. The whole ball of wax is at stake this time. Christianity worldwide under threat. Your healthcare in the hands of the IRS. If you want to get mad and stay made just keep remembering the White House lit up in rainbow colors.

Trump or Bust
