Now I'm not trying to say you don't have a point, cause you do in this case, but what you have posted is not a poll. It is a prediction based on polling. I don't see any media making predictions like this again as they still trying to get the egg off their face from 2016. They present the polls and the consequence of the polls as they stand and nothing more. They are not going this extra step.

I'll also point out that those percentages were 100% accurate at the time and they are not invalidated when Trump won. It gave him 15% chance. By the roll of the dice, it went to Trump. 15% is not the same thing as zero percent.

Again your point is still valid but maybe update your articulation of it.

Doesn't matter which George, he was still talking about Trump. Let's not forget that Trump is THE most famous, most talked about, most shouted about man on the planet. Not to mention he's Biden's rival.

Point is it happens a lot. He forgets a lot of names, he forgets what city he's in, he gets confused and says he's running for senate etc etc.

I've seen this before with my grandmother. Not saying this is the same though.
It's because you only watch small extracts, sound bites, showing him mixing words up, which happens to all of us. If you watch the interviews and listen to him at length you would know he is often eloquent and always coherent as a whole. There is no confusion in his understanding of policy and what's required, even if he's not the best public speaker in the world.

Bookies currently Biden and Trump with the same odds in Florida....tempting :sneaky:

Well, yeah...

So Donnie's folk on AF1 just left a copy of this on everyone's seat:

ElM4NTYXYAALr-7



"Those Who Haven't Voted Yet"

Which got me thinking... what about those who *have* voted. Well...


Which got me thinking more... With those numbers, Joe wins FL by 2 points; he wins NC by 4 points and GA comes down to Donnie winning by fractions of a point.

Also got me thinking about this:

View attachment 940176

If 61% of the early votes in FL are for Joe, he's either taking just short of 93% of the no party affiliation vote, or there are shy Republicans voting Biden.

On a day when the president was tweeting to Apple about fixing an iPhone button, this is what Joe Biden was saying.

1 year ago

Face it, there were enough ignorant pissed-off rednecks in the US to actually vote that disaster into office - which is the worst thing about the entire Trump shitshow.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd be going on about how this is an opening to allow the elites to crack down on just who is allowed to vote. :ROFL:

So not only is the story largely turning out to be true, but the MSM's attempt to bury it has been exposed AND their duplicity has motivated large swathes of the population to share the information despite the attempted blockade out of outraged spite.

I pretty much agree with the WP take:

Nevertheless, in the likely continued absence of certainty either way, the Biden leaks deserve the full potential-disinformation treatment. This means three concrete things.

First, every individual little fact — every email, every text, every photo — must be independently verified when data is surfaced in such a suspicious way, not just one piece of information. Genuine photos, for example, could be there simply to add credibility to forged emails surfaced along with the photos — shielding a few forgeries with genuine content would be a time-tested active measures tactic.

Second, the absence of a denial by the Biden campaign or Hunter himself should not be treated as a tacit admission of authenticity. Mixing facts with forgeries has another time-tested effect: It sets a trap for the victim. If Hunter or the Biden campaign started selectively denying pieces of the reporting ostensibly from the laptop, they would give oxygen to the operation, extend its life-cycle and get entangled in a losing battle about discussing what’s fact and what’s not. Verifying large amounts of leaked files, the Democrats learned in 2016, is also hard and labor-intensive.

Finally, and hardest of all, we must resist the temptation to jump to premature conclusions on “a Russian plant” without good evidence — “classic earmarks” are not nearly enough. The Mac Shop story, and even the files, could still be genuine, no matter how unusual the setup sounds. Worse, even if a foreign intelligence service had a role in the strange saga of the Biden leaks — a scenario that remains as likely as not — then the critical enablers at several steps along the way were prominent Americans who decided to act irresponsibly, again and again, by putting party above country — and after four years of publicly discussing useful idiocy, they could no longer be unwitting.
