If Clinton wins, you’ll wonder if this invalidates the Master Persuader Hypothesis. The short answer is no, because the concept doesn’t account for unknowns of this magnitude. If a meteor had struck Trump a day before election day, it wouldn’t say much about his skill as a persuader. The Master Persuasion Hypothesis worked splendidly until the double-whammy of the Access Hollywood tape and the “octopus” meteor.

These are the worst men in your workplace: when they finally lose (as they should) they pout and spit out "Fine, you do it." Everyone knows men like Scott Adams. they are arrested in their development at 12 years old, and act like complete shitheels for their entire lives.

What a stupid, pouty asshole.
