With All Eyes On Trump, Clinton Is Winning The Democratic Nomination

Alan K. - Mr. Korb; Ms. Clinton is playing the game by the rules -
ALL the rules - ALL the rules that SOMEONE ELSE made into rules. The fact that she is doing it quite well isn't actually something that she can be BLAMED for any more than you can blame a football team from running a passing play when they are fourth and ten on their own goal line, they are four points in the lead, and there are only ten seconds left in the game.

COL Ted Mc - I literally do not comprehend what you're trying to say here. What is your point, exactly?

LT (Join to see) - Lieutenant; MOST of the "polling reports" give the "national percentages". "National percentages" aren't necessarily meaningful since all that a person needs to do is to win the electoral votes of New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, Texas, and California to be elected President of the United States of America (and that works out to roughly 15.71% of the total vote [assuming an average "participation rate" in those eleven states] even if you don't get a single vote in the rest of the country and every single eligible voter in the rest of the country turns out to vote).

What IS important is who is going to capture each state's Electoral College vote.

One way of telling that - for a particular location - is to see which way the vote in a particular location is changing (the "trend line"). To tell whether that "trend line" is going to affect the final result you need to know the rate of change for the "trend line" because that is going to tell you if the change in the likely vote is going to exceed a certain point BEFORE it is too late for it to matter.

COL Ted Mc - I mean... I agree with everything you're saying, I just don't understand why you're responding to my particular comment. My only point was that Nate Silver and his team at FiveThirtyEight are among the best statisticians and data analysts in the world, and any prediction they make about this election should not be dismissed as "liberal bias."

LT (Join to see) - Lieutenant; Time to take your "Sarcasm Detector" in for its annual checkup and then run it against the following test text passage"

"It's completely obvious that 100% of the media (and almost all of the web sites) are "biased". I know that this is true because if you ask someone from "the right" they will tell you that the media is biased "towards the left" and if you ask someone from "the left" they will tell you that the media is biased "towards the right" so with that sort of uniformity of opinion who am I to deny it?"

Or, as St. Peter said to the Pope when he arrived at the Pearly Gates "Shalom, Allah Akbar".
