Well, GDP finally pushed me here [View all]

For those of you who see me over there, Hi! For those of you who don't know me, I'm a pretty active HRC supporter who regularly gets in tussles in GDP, primarily around the baffling misunderstandings of polls, the differences among them and why online widget polls mean exactly jack shit. I'm a statistical analyst by trade and try to talk about numbers as a neutral party, but that is getting increasingly harder to do.

GDP had just gone way too conspiracy theory crazy for my taste in the wake of the data beach, and I am now preparing for the inevitable day when every possible excuse imaginable (and some that aren't imaginable) are given for why Clinton, and not Sanders, wins the nomination handily. Of course, not one of the excuses will be that more people voted for her than Sanders.

As I navigate the toxic river that is GDP, I find that I finally have to turn to the Clinton group as a bastian of calm and tranquility.

So hello to all. Let's see this through!
