Thursday, October 17, 2024

In the presidential contest, Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by five points among likely voters, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate. The race gets closer, however, among registered voters nationally. Here, three points separate the two candidates.

The public polls are pure trash and even the liberals know that. They are meant to FORM public opinion rather than simply report on it. Internal polls show Kamala sinking quickly which is why she is on her disastrous press tour now and why the bettings odds have her getting crushed (betting odds are smart money from poll insiders).

It should become standard practice for all polls to be forced to state their error from their prior projection to actual results as a disclaimer on all their publications.

For instance, on this article, Marist would be forced to state *2020 error was D+5*

Similarly, garbage polls like Quinnipiac would need to state *2020 error was D+9*

With this actual discloser, they could no longer form opinion as their polls would be rightly rejected due to highly biased nature of their polling methodology.

Finally, in applying their error from 2020, we would then logically conclude that the true numbers are more like a tie at the national level which means Trump wins the EC easily. Dems need to win popular vote by 3-4% to win the EC.

It's good that Harris leading in the popular vote but, as we all know, that isn't always enough. Where does she stand in the electoral vote?

The only ground that matters are the swing states.

And republicans got that covered.

FACT: Once the winner has 3% or more of the total popular vote, it is mathematically impossible for the loser to get 270 (or more) Electoral Votes.

Do you honestly think something went wrong on the server side to repost 1000+ times by Hans or was he sitting in his basement continuously hitting the publish comment button with ever growing incel rage until it finally posted 1000+ times? My bet is that someone's mom didn't bring the pizza rolls in time and Hans was rage hitting submit while likely screaming the n-word at the top of his lungs. Thankfully, he likely resides in a windowless basement so no one was exposed to his racial abuse.

I might be misunderstanding, but I don't think that's correct Hans.

For instance, if 20 million people vote in Florida for Kamala, and only one person votes in each of the remaining states + DC for Trump, Kamala would have close to 100% of the popular vote. But Trump would still become president (508 electoral votes to 30) even though he only received slightly above 0% of the popular vote.

That is classic Hans. Yes, he is totally wrong as usual - but boy is he confident in his wrongness.

I suppose they are being no different than when niceville was booted and then joined and re-joined the Retort, weekly, sometimes daily, with a new moniker/email.

Our host immediately recognized him and threw him out, only to have him sneak back in, over and over and over. After a year of that, he finally gave up.

It is the same with these retreads. They're too much of a coward to admit that they been booted off of the Retort, so they have to come crawling back in under a new alias.

As if we wouldn't notice.

Like our host with niceville.

I see HTML Hans is back. What an irritation.

That said, I'm genuinely curious about your up 3% can't get 270 assertion. You usually source such. Maybe I missed it in the wall of HTML. Help me out.

I'd guess that there are 4 or 5 actual people generating the endless string of sock puppets. Some smell like Rex, some smell like Sheeple.
