Impressed by the Trump administration part II

The statistical anomalies in this election are laughable.

How bout explaining the down ballot beating in the House?  You dont lose 17 house seats, only winning 17% of the counties in the country and still get 81,000,000 votes.

Statistical anomalies are not proof. No doubt there are statistical anomalies but that isn’t proof.

You need to try harder.

Many republicans love conservatives but hate Trump due to his actions. 

Even in 2016 when he beat Hillary the HoR republicans lost 6 seats. So it’s not like the POTUS winner always carries the down ballot HoR.

Were you as upset about that anomaly? That the Rs lost 6 seats in the HoR in 2016 when Trump won?

Now the "% of counties" stuff only after it was introduced into the mix just recently. Never once have I ever heard a conservative talk about percentage of counties won until Trump's lawyers started in on it in December. Now it's cited by people as though it's been a barameter they've used for generations. For numerous reasons, it's a very stupid metric. 

I'll add statistical analysis to the list of your gifts. You're going to give Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci a run for their money.

When it comes to POTUS elections, percentage of counties or even percentage of states is the meaningless conservative answer to the meaningless liberal popular vote. Just something to complain about that has zero to do with the actual election.

I just read that Trump will be awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rep. Jim Jordan.  Outstanding use of his last three weeks.  Spock, sit tight, you may get one too.  The threshold looks to be anyone who defends Trump in spite of their own personal foolishness.

I think that everyone could live with all of our presidents if this were how they spent 95% of their time.   What is he getting it for?

Side note: I got my ass kicked by Jim Jordan at his brother's wrestling camp.  He actually sent me a very nice handwritten letter after my wedding to congratulate me on my marriage.  /coolstory

Yeah, that's a good story.  I don't know Jordan at all.  Just find it humorous when these presidents give these awards out like this to their sycophants.  Of course this doesn't touch Bill Clinton's pardoning frenzy in his final days.  But we'll see.

Main fraud I've been hearing of today is Trump calling Georgia dude to tell him to "find" 11-12K votes. At least after all the allegations, something actually was unearthed!!!

And according to Carl Bernstein it's worse than Watergate.

Zero evidence. Zero.

Does the mail in voting also apply to Republican led GA and AZ? 

False ...yet again.

There is a ton of evidence.  The cases are not being tossed because of a lack of evidence, they are being tossed on legal technicalities such as lack of standing.

Huge difference, but libtards don't care because they have their deep state media running the show for them.

LOL

Can't wait; it will be worse than the Ukraine phone call. Hilarious.

Sure, undermining confidence in our elections is no big deal.  That is, of course, what Russia was trying to do.

That call is sort of confirmation of many incredibly derogatory things we've heard about Trump over the past 4 years.  I listened to about 20 minutes of the call while watching football, and 90% of the time it's a Trump monologue rattling off every nonsensical conspiracy theory we've heard the past 2 months.

Really hard to listen to that call and not think Trump is unfit for office.  Maybe he's got syhphillis.

Whatever CNN is reporting, I will auto default to the opposite narrative.

I am right about 90% of the time....so I will go with that

With your propensity of being wrong with percentages, are you sure that isn’t 0.9% that you are right?

0.9% still seems a bit high, though.

Kudos to those who made it happen despite the petulant daily bashing from the  left.

Well, it looks like the 8th wonder of the world isn't going to be realized.  Stuff happens, but remember the people in Wisconsin holding the bag for this debacle - $230k per man, woman and child - next time we hear about the Republicans' "fiscal responsibility" traits.
