and while doing so would write OPs and posts chastising Bernie supporters for being mean and nasty.

Don't expect them to be reasonable.

Hillary�s Support Among Nonwhite Voters Has Collapsed [View all] Pharaoh Apr 2016 OP

Sample size: 72 voters. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #1

My zip code is 30% black and 32% Asian with a population of 43k NWCorona Apr 2016 #2

Anecdotal evidence proves nothing. It's a story you make up and post in a comment, nothing more. nt CalvinballPro Apr 2016 #5

Yeah I made up the votes NWCorona Apr 2016 #6

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You completely made them up. Now just 2.6 million more times... CalvinballPro Apr 2016 #7

Ok NWCorona Apr 2016 #8

Hillary, "It Ain't Over Yet!" CorporatistNation Apr 2016 #33

A sample size of 72 gives a margin of error of around 11.7 percent. RichVRichV Apr 2016 #3

No, it's so small no one would attempt to extrapolate from it. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #4

^^^^^^ True this! CajunBlazer Apr 2016 #9

Nothing wrong with the top line numbers geek tragedy Apr 2016 #11

True, but with a sample size that small... CajunBlazer Apr 2016 #16

Funny how demographic breakdowns were never noise before now. RichVRichV Apr 2016 #12

Exit polls have (a) higher sample sizes and (b) higher response rates geek tragedy Apr 2016 #13

What low response rate? RichVRichV Apr 2016 #14

Response rates affect the likelihood of getting a random sample geek tragedy Apr 2016 #15

I understand how it works. RichVRichV Apr 2016 #17

It doesn't matter. RichVRichV Apr 2016 #20

Generally for those small cross tabs I really don't pay the numbers that much heed. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #22

People are over-stating the author's reliance on those 72 voters thesquanderer Apr 2016 #24

Based on what, caucuses with zero demographic information available? geek tragedy Apr 2016 #26

Based on lots of things. Read the article at the link, no need for me to re-write it here. (n/t) thesquanderer Apr 2016 #28

The article is innumerate gibberish. As is everything geek tragedy Apr 2016 #29

It wouldn't matter if it was 720 instead of 72, RichVRichV Apr 2016 #25

Caucus states can't be extrapolated to primary states. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #27

First off Caucus versus primary is irrelivent here. RichVRichV Apr 2016 #31

a lot to go through here geek tragedy Apr 2016 #32

Let's go down the list. RichVRichV Apr 2016 #35
