NYT has Trump winning but 538 has Clinton still winning. And we know now whose model was closer to reality...

Here's my bets, posted them in this thread last week.
Only worried about PA at this stage.
Could be up for around a $500 windfall, somewhere around there.

Lmao I hope the media is happy with trump winning because they are imo the biggest reason why he achieved what he has this election cycle

They were trying to stop him but it backfired massively, really quite funny.

538's model is explicitly not based on current votes, just pre-election predictions and called states.

538's day-of model is purely based on called states and the time it took to call them for a candidate, it doesn't reflect reality or any vote totals

It's important to understand why Trump is doing well, and it's not just uneducated racism. There's a pretty big rural vs urban dynamic at play here.


The standard Hillary lost because 50% of the US population is stupid argument, standard. =/

actually, it's more like 85-90% of the us population is stupid.
trump just got a higher proportion of the stupid vote this time.


I guess stupid is all relative.

partially relative, partially absolute. even on an absolute scale one can make a decent case for it.
on a relative it's of course very easy to make the case for it.

this election just makes it all the easier to prove the point of course, given how well documentedly unfit clinton is.



Fixed that for you man ;D

don't be an idiot. the two are not equivalent, and your claims to the contrary merely demonstrate your inability to tell the difference.
and replacing one with the other doens't make you right, nor me wrong. it just means you're unable to actually look at issues in a decent fashion.


I'm not the one being an idiot here lol

There is a huge difference between the two and unless you're a criminal, a briber with millions at stake, or an illegal immigrant, one is objectively better than the other

yes, you are. but you are not capable of recognizing it. at any rate, all your false claims have been proven false int he past repeatedly, so there's little to be done. too much bubble.


You should strongly consider you're the one incapable of recognizing it

I haven't made any false claims to be disproven so I don't know what fantasyland you're living in

Everything I've predicted months ago is coming true and everyone is waking up out of fantasyland now upset that reality doesn't match the coolaid they've been drinking this election

i have considered it, and carefully reviewed everything; and it's simply not the case.
you have made many false claims. but like I say, you're unable to see them.
also, the koolaid claim just proves you really are not paying any attention to what i've said, so no point in talking to you, you're high on your own madness.

Uneducated Americans have had a big impact on the rest of the world for the better part of the last century.

NYT 73% of Trump victory, from 80% Clinton when counting began.
Kitco.com (the premiere live gold chart) is down, probably from so much traffic.

At this point I feel like the rest of the world just has to hope that the USA doesn't drag us down with them.

no, most people don't.
that's why I said most are idiots.
most people have a poor and limited understanding of the world, geopolitics, management, ethics, justice, law, sociology, criminology.

Yes, Trump is one state away from winning, he just needs to take one, any firewall state will do.
