NYT: Trump has a 12% chance of winning the Presidency. Take THAT, "Clinton Supporters!"

[Miles Archer]

If I had a 12% chance of winning anything in life, I think I'd re-direct my efforts into something where my chances were better.

Note: you're going to have to go to the link to see the graph referenced in the article...it's not a JPEG that I can embed here.

Hillary Clinton has an 88% chance of winning the presidency.

The Upshot’s elections model suggests that Hillary Clinton is favored to win the presidency, based on the latest state and national polls. A victory by Mr. Trump remains quite possible: Mrs. Clinton’s chance of losing is about the same as the probability that an N.F.L. kicker misses a field goal from the 20-yard line.

From now until Election Day, we’ll update our estimates with each new poll, as well as collect the ratings of other news organizations. You can chart different paths to victory below. Here’s how our estimates have changed over time:

1. So you're saying...

3. Beat me to it lol. N/T

2. It's not zero.

4. But..but...I was just lurking on freakrepublic

And they have some online polls that prove Trump is going to win a landslide victory!

Also the crowd sizes!!

5. The American people are taking a pass

... On a Putin presidency.

6. Gary Anderson managed that

But likely it is not.

7. And with the campaign shakeup

he'll be rising all the way up to -16%.

8. I get what you're saying and I'm glad that Drumpf is tanking.

But everyone thought Brexit had no chance of passing either.

Let's not get complacent; that's what Trump and the GOP want. They love low interest voters and they thrived on it in 2010.

9. I don't think we should take our eyes off him for a second.

There are two approaches to this:

1). "Sit back and relax, we've got this."

2). "If you cast your absentee ballots, participate in early voting, and get your ass to the polls on November 8th, we are positioned to win this."

You can probably figure out which approach I advocate.

10. =)

Yes! And let everyone you know to vote too! Hillary Clinton might not be your favourite (she is for me) but she is better than Drumpf! We must stop him and the Republicans!

11. If Trump's chances are this low

Look for Assange to do another e-mail dump within 72 hours...
