And that Generic Democrat wins over Trump in a landslide, even though Hillary came up short in the electoral college.

Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way it struck me immediately. oberliner hasn't come back to clarify. I don't think the reference was to the 2016 House generic margin at all

So you're saying Democrats can't win? Kingofalldems Sep 2018 #10

If you don't want public comments to public posts, don't post in public. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2018 #14

I do think the poster has added an element of confusion. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2018 #19

Looks like the post I responded to was false. Kingofalldems Sep 2018 #21

I don't know. Neither of you have submitted evidence. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2018 #22

So apparently you accepted the post I responded to on face value. Kingofalldems Sep 2018 #23

No. But what you said about it does not follow logically from what the poster wrote. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2018 #24

A generic House ballot is different than a generic presidential ballot. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2018 #26
