It's like trying to reason with my niece when she was four

2. I can testify to something similar.

I've got a DU troll trying to pretend that Nate Silver's article is somehow bullish on Bernie.

I posted a link to this article in a discussion on another thread. I had a Bernie supporter reply by quoting this paragraph:

The most recent poll of Wisconsin, which votes next week, has Clinton winning there. I ignored it and assumed Sanders will win by 16 percentage points instead. The demographics do look pretty good for Sanders in the Badger State.

Now, if you're a Bernie supporter, you might think that this is Nate Silver calling WI for Sanders. It's not. This paragraph is preceded by this one:

To repeat, these are not predictions. On the contrary, they describe a rose-colored-glasses scenario for Sanders that I consider to be very unlikely. To develop them, I started with our original pledged delegate targets for Sanders. Those already look optimistic for Sanders, who has underperformed his delegate targets in most primaries (he’s beaten them in most caucuses, but there aren’t many caucuses left on the calendar).

And it's been impossible to get the troll to admit that Nate Silver wasn't predicting a Bernie WI win, even with a quote of Nate Silver saying it wasn't a prediction to back me up.

I have 4 nieces and nephews in the 4-5 age range right now. NONE of them are this bad to deal with.
