If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, and get the same results, isn't that called "insanity"?

People tank this guy but his model is only as good as his data. He may suck but his data is bad. I really can’t fault him if his data is faked.

I’ve run my forecast 1 million times since lunch.

At no point do Trump’s chances drop below 100%
There is no chance Biden wins.

Just like 2016 he will crawfish on his wrong predictions and refuse to admit he was wrong...

That’s on him to analyze it deeper. He wants it to be 90%.

I love his disclaimer that “Trump can win”

So his model is consistent. Doesn’t make it accurate. Anyone can “model.”

If you do the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome, that is mental illness

I think It’s if you expect different results.

Otherwise why practice?

I think he does, I think he’s just like the media-he makes money off of telling liberals what they want to hear regardless of the truth!

You’re absolutely correct, but him being too stupid to realize his data is dog shite is absolutely his fault. A real data analyst understands variable data points and adjusts accordingly. Things like voter enthusiasm, political climate with cancel culture, etc. He’s not half the analyst he thinks he is or the media makes him out to be. He’s just a copy and paste loser.

He’s either really, really confident in a model that was dead wrong just four years ago, or he’s trying to persuade people how pure and independent their methods are while KNOWING the result will not render what they’ve been selling.

If he's wrong he's going to cling to the fact that he is not a pollster and if the polls had been correct, he'd have been correct. Garbage in, garbage out.
