What a landslide victory would look like

Worth reading. Nate Silver explains why the assumptions the polls plus formula makes may be flawed this season, and what the consequences of this may be (they are good). It also shows how far democrats have cut into even the reddest of states, that almost everything is technically on the table this season.

Checked my unfollow list Today.

I had to unfollow a few my my friends over the past two months after they began flat out insulting anyone who wasn't a Bernie supporter. I'll play ball, but I'm not going to be insulted by my friends in response. I checked them out today to see if they've improved at all. Nope. Somehow they've only gotten worse. Every win, every Hillary vote. Its a conspiracy. The democrats are the enemy. Everyone is an idiot. Its like nothing I've ever seen before.

What I did see was that none of their posts have a single response. No likes, nothing. I guess I wasn't the only one to cut off relations. Seriously, who in their right mind wants to wake up to that kind of reckless hate on their wall every day.

I copied a link to the most ignorant and ridiculous post of them all. For your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

NPR: Enthusiasm Gap is an illusion.

Big Rallies are meaningless, and Hillary has more enthusiasm then she's given credit for.
