I lost a lot of faith in polling in general and 538 in particular when they said Clinton had a 91% chance of winning. I think there's a lot of emphasis given to numbers that nobody has that good a bead on. Have we cured the underlying issues? Hell nah. But I watched the Republican Party burn the press down with Iraq. That whole Nigerian rods thing they pushed in the NYT obliterated American trust of the press forever and Facebook rushed in to fill the void. Most big cons you can pull once and "rogue populist" has been played. The next dumbshit Republican ploy is going to be something else; they're not going to let a Trump happen again it's been too personally corrosive for them. There are now more Millennials in America than there are Boomers and every year, that ratio gets worse. I'ma guess you missed this: Go check pages 9 and 10.
Totally missed that. Going to read it, venture off to some rock walls near Yakima (how timely considering this conversation), and respond back in a couple of days!
