Anything between 20% and 80% is completely meaningless.

Actually it is anything between 1 and 99 but I felt charitable.

Appalachian State beat the odds and scored a historic upset. But that doesn't mean that Appalachian State is favored to win the rematch when the two teams meet again.
Appalachian State was not a creation of leftist loons plying their propagandist trade.

They would have been if they had been allowed to play other big schools afterward and beat the shite out of all of them and had there team coming back.

you know, like Trump
Trump has had clear net negative momentum since 2016, so not sure what you are talking about.

Well Hillary had a 98% chance so this must mean a Trump landslide

This is terrible news. Nate was so accurate in 2016:


I'm sure you are looking at the top percentage numbers, but if you look at the map, it's actually almost spot on.

The popular vote broke almost exactly as predicted

He missed on 4 states, but they were arguably the 4 biggest: WI,NC,FL,PA

Of the 4 he missed, NC and FL where shaded the lightest blue, which indicated basically a 50/50 tossup to Hillary

From an EC standpoint the victory was a landslide in 2016, but that came with razor thin margins in some key states

It wasn't, though - Trump only beat Hillary by a mere 74 electors. That's historically a very narrow outcome. Bush Sr., Clinton and Obama all won their elections by a considerably greater margin than that. Reagan won his two elections by margins of over 400+ and 500+ electors, respectively.

In other words, there’s a genuine difference between Biden’s position now and Clinton’s four years ago.


Yes 4 years ago Trump was an unknown politically and Conservatives didn't know if they could trust him, plus TDS was as yet an undiagnosed phenomenon so would be Trump voters had know way to know that all the hate and vitriol coming from the press/left was simply a symptom of an apparently incurable disease.

Now we know.

I love that "snake chart" they included. I really gives a clear picture of which states are really in play, and even with their polling, it shows how few states would have to flip for Trump to win re-election.
