I think you're quoting Trump here, right!

That could be a feature of an upcoming moscow miracle! "Russia, if you're listening." ;)

Right! Obviously these pollsters need to figure out how to reliably hone in on the EC vote. I suppose they should consult with the folks in St. Petersburg on how to do that.

What's important is the aggregate of all of these professionally done polls. There, they have proven to be correct in predicting the margin of victory in the popular vote in national elections for many many years -- without a single fail! That would be pretty convincing evidence that they are...

only a fool would ignore them. In aggregate they have been right on the money for many years in the predicting the popular vote in the election, so there is no reason to think they are far off in these preliminary polls. It would seem these pollster organizations have honed their statistical...

facts are inherently impartial.

Exactly! The "Yellow Dog Democrats" of the Southern States. Once they got elected to Congress they voted with Republicans on important human rights issues. That's why tallies of Democrats and Republicans in Congress, prior to integration and for quite a few years after that too, are...

Go Canada! In fact, if you're young, healthy, smart, hard working, and polite, Go To Canada. That's where the best opportunities lie. And you get the bonus of living in a beautiful country with clean air and clean water.

It just occurred to me that the single most important zenophobic event in the modern history of the country is missing from that long time line detailing key events in the history of U.S. zenophobia, namely, November 8th, 2016, Americans elect White Nationalist Donald J.Trump as their President.

It is not impossibly complicated, but far too much to address in detail here. My suggestion, if you have an interest, is to read the MMT economists: these would include Randall Wray, Bill Mitchell, Warren Mosler, etc. Mosler comes from more of an Investment Background, the others are...

Previously U.S. Citizens working abroad temporarily, as in military, diplomatic, or other service were considered to be permanent residents of the United States, now, under the new policy they are not. Under the new policy and definition of residency, neither these person temporarily working...

deficits do matter! What most people have a hard time wrapping their head around is that not only can deficits be too large, they can also be too small. If you have a basic background in undergraduate economics, then I could recommend a book such as Randall Wray's, "Modern Money Theory", to...

Is the real motivation behind this an attempt to suggest that John McCain was not really a citizen because he was born in the canal zone? And what in Hell's name is wrong with this Buy1Sell2 lunatic. He's begging us to call him a horses ass, but there is no way I am going to give him that...

Canada! YES!

I fully agree you posts leave me as dismayed as you. Of course you do realize, since you are an expert in these matters, that there is Florida law stating how electors will be chosen. And that law applies in Florida. How does your state do it; just appoint them by spinning a bottle, I...

For anyone interested in the final conclusion on the 2000 Florida vote count I found this in the Wiki article on Bush v. Gore In 2001, a consortium of news organizations, assisted by professional statisticians (NORC), examined numerous hypothetical ways of recounting all the Florida ballots...

This would only be true were they to change their state law making the selection of electors independent of the state wide vote. Such an action would be certain to be declared unconstitutional under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, and under Article II, as well. What Florida...

Until the outcome of a Presidential election in each state is known, the electors in each state to be sent to the EC can not be known. This is one of the situations the 20th amendment speaks to. The language used in the twentieth Amendment regarding whether someone "has qualified" or not to be...

The founders did not plan for such a scenario, however the 20th Amendment (ratified in 1933), answers the question of what should happen under the circumstances you describe. ...and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall...
