77. Not fact, you are drawing a conclusion based on only appx. 50% of planned sampling.

Mar 2016

Half the country hasn't voted yet and the half that has was deliberately front loaded to favor Clinton. So not only is the sample you are extrapolating from incomplete, it is deliberately non-representative of the population being measured.

Doesn't anyone understand basic social science anymore?

Not fact, you are drawing a conclusion based on only appx. 50% of planned sampling. kristopher Mar 2016 #77

To date, she is the strongest vote getter in the field onenote Mar 2016 #81

And that makes it meaningless as regarding your point, doesn't it. kristopher Mar 2016 #85

The fact that the usual schedule worked to Clinton's favor doesn't indicate a conspiracy onenote Mar 2016 #88

Didn't say it was a conspiracy - that's a poor attempt to deflect away from yr failure kristopher Mar 2016 #90

As a student of social science I suggest you study Jesse Jackson's run onenote Mar 2016 #97

Post the '88, '12 and '16 primary schedules and lets do it here. kristopher Mar 2016 #100

here are schedules going back 100 years. Knock yourself out. onenote Mar 2016 #102

Y'all are the ones denying that the primary schedule is front loaded to favor Clinton kristopher Mar 2016 #104

And so it was front loaded to favor that well-known conservative Jesse Jackson? onenote Mar 2016 #106

Sure, that's why she has more votes than any other candidate running lunamagica Mar 2016 #93

Poor reasoning skills seem to plague the Clinton supporters kristopher Mar 2016 #94

Bookmarking for when she wins both the delegates and the popular vote. Your pesonal attacks lunamagica Mar 2016 #98

It isn't a personal attack to point out that the LOGIC of a persons argument fails scrutiny. kristopher Mar 2016 #101

" Poor reasoning skills seem to plague the Clinton supporters" Sure is an attack. Very insulting lunamagica Mar 2016 #105

Bolding a whole text ALWAYS makes it seem "truthier"... Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #4

Please knock yourself out and find anything about the author that is false, then post Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #6

Clearly your point is you enjoy creating posts with zero merit. Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #11

As pkdu so aptly says elsewhere in this thread... Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #12

You made a false claim in your first post. I called you out on it and you came up Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #14

That's what passes for informed discussion among the Clinton supporters. kristopher Mar 2016 #19

I saw that and recommended it, and one can see from the responses how Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #26

Get go, let go....whatever. Pointing out the annoying and manipulative Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #20

You equated the highlight not as annoying, you equated it to mean it was used to make Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #22

Just what IS the justification for bolding a whole long passage, Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #30

Does the Clinton campaign have a primer on discussion disruption? kristopher Mar 2016 #32

Hum, let me think. No, can't say I've undergone any training Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #37

Bolding is what you claim its to be for? Bullshit, you're merely attempting to cover up Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #33

Yep. kristopher Mar 2016 #39

Say, what? Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #41

You don't own the reasoning and to claim you do is absurd. Nothing was garbled by me, Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #43

Yikes...spare me more of this: Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #44

More tabloid nonsense, the same tactic you used when you entered the thread. Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #46

Brock, Brock? Someone related to Spock? Never heard of Brock. Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #47

You know him well, you've been demonstrating the connection/tactics since your first Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #50

Sorry, can't say I do. Who be he? Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #51

Look in the mirror. n/t Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #53

I see a greying 70-year-old female retiree. Is that what I'm supposed to see? Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #55

He's right there...the evidence is in each of your posts from your first Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #60

Sorry, but who the hell is "HE"? Very cryptic. Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #61

lol You do rely on pretending not to be aware of Clinton's Brock campaign Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #64

It's my thread and you decided to add baseless smears not me. Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #69

Hilarious exchange. First time I've laughed my ass off on this site in a long time. kerry-is-my-prez Mar 2016 #107

No conspiracy, just her baseless smears. n/t Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #108

Her criticisms of you bolding your text or is there something I missed? kerry-is-my-prez Mar 2016 #109

The claim was, bolding the text was utilized to ensure it was viewed as "truthier." Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #110

My tongue was firmly in my cheek, I must admit... Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #115

Tabloids and yellow journalists, eh? SMC22307 Mar 2016 #111

Your observation is perfectly valid. Overbearingly bold style can be VERY annoying, Surya Gayatri Mar 2016 #116

lol Still doubling down I see. n/t Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #118

Thank you both for giving me a good laugh. It is very needed in this frequently ugly place! kerry-is-my-prez Mar 2016 #121

You're very welcome...it was a funny exchange. lol Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #122

Supposed expertise, you mean like Nate Silver who screwed up big time about Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #48

I listened to the interview onenote Mar 2016 #75

You may believe he undercuts his own argument yet you have just highlighted Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #78

A chance is there. But his claim that his chances are still "very strong" is a stretch onenote Mar 2016 #86

Look, you can ignore that he beat the odds thus far or not. I'm not ignoring Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #89

We know, maybe you aren't aware of the meaning of could win. Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #38

I understand the meaning of "could win". But he's claiming there is a good chance Bernie will win onenote Mar 2016 #76

He does have a good chance, based on the fact he has already beaten the odds Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #79

We will just have to agree to disagree on what a 'good chance' means. onenote Mar 2016 #82

Yes, evidently his past performance is not a confidence builder for some. Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #84

McChesney is denying those odds, however. Garrett78 Mar 2016 #119

There is no doubt in my mind if Bernie succeeded he would receive similar Jefferson23 Mar 2016 #65
