As much as I like hearing this (as a Trump supporter), I spent 8 years working with statistical models in marketing. Give me enough data and I can give you any result you want using legitimate statistical methods and make it look convincing.

Unlike the climate change debate, empirical evidence is going to decide the winner (i.e. votes). That will happen eventually with climate change but many people are too convinced that models mean things they don’t.

“Give me enough data and I can give you any result you want using legitimate statistical methods and make it look convincing.”

It is true that statistical models can be misused.

The main problem with the climate change models are in the fraudulent data and the fraudulent assumptions.

Trump is attracting enormous interest and enthusiasm. He spends little money but wins elections, increases turnout and is the front runner despite being constantly attacked by the media and the establishment.

Jeb Bush and others spent enormous amounts of money and were supported by the media and by Republican office holders. They still lost. Nothing can be predicted with absolute certainty but Trump appears to be likely to win.
