the lack of international curb stomping on assad is basically going to inspire other assholes to use chemical weapons so lol buckle in and get your gas masks ready

Chemical weapons always seemed like garbage weapons for retards that weren't really any more effective than more conventional weapons. With the added benefit of being great at friendly fire any time the wind would shift. As well as having pathetic shelf lives, and just generally being a pain in the rear end to handle. Is there some giant stock pile of chemical weapons that assholes are sitting around on waiting for a green light to use? Seems like a bogey man to get everyone riled up, but what do I know.

I'm not really sure if it will give him an advantage in winning. It's my understanding that chemical weapons are just not very good in general. But you're probably right that it will give other countries an excuse to one up them and be total poo poo heads about it.

He's in the green as far as legal investigations go (appreciate that I skipped the yellow/pee joke), but his first 100 days have been marred by multiple failures, resignations, and historically low approval ratings. If it goes on like this he'll be remembered as the dupe who said ridiculous things but his administration was handicapped by its own infighting and incompetence.

But remember, a fall can be forgiven so long as you stick the landing.

That's a prediction from Huffington Post, not a national poll. I know you know the difference because you keep bringing it up hoping that somehow you can cast off reality by believing hard enough, and each time the difference is explained and slides over your smoothbrain so you change the subject (usually something about the EC) and repeat the process.

National polls had Hillary beating Trump by +3. She received 3M more votes than Trump. The polls were accurate. Predictions from Huffingtong Post, NYT, or whoever were hilariously wrong.

I think they're accurate because the national polls accurately predicted the popular vote, in which Hillary Clinton had 3M more votes than Trump.

Every 4 years a bunch of idiots claim polling is fake (UNSKEW) and look like morons as the polling turns out to be accurate and their candidate fails. This year national polling was still accurate but the candidate won because of the election process, and fools are taking the wrong message from that. The message they should be taking is "We can be behind in the polls but still win the election based on state strategy" but they pathologically cannot accept that they are not the silent majority.

Where does that poll say "More votes" they know how the electoral college works. If their sampling was hosed up and biased, that's their own fault.

My prediction for Trump is either 1) the first 1-2 years he's in there trying to play their game. And he's gonna keep getting burned. And finally he says gently caress it and does it his way. or 2) he was all talk and just becomes generic president with same old poo poo anyone would've done

Do you really not understand how polling works? A typical polling question looks like this:

quote:

If the general election were held today, and the candidates were [Hillary Clinton for the Democrats] and [Donald Trump for the Republicans], for whom would you vote?
It is not an attempt to predict the electoral college results because that's much more complicated. This is where all those media outlets stuck their dick in a socket with state predictions.

And gently caress off with your "if their sampling was hosed up and biased" because it wasn't, they had Clinton +3 and the result was Clinton ahead by 3M votes.

All the aerial pics are clear. I challenge you to find a single aerial pic of Trump speech with a dense crowd.

Even on those "real" photos there's a relatively small crowd. Sure there were more than your average birthday party, but nothing special.
But that's not enough for Trump he has to be the best and biggest, so he had thw biggwst inaugaration crowd, he won by the greatest margin in history and if everyone says otherwise they must be lying.

Wrong.

They would have screened their results by state and weighted the results accordingly to reflect the electoral college results. Instead they screen by age and race to reflect the general population of likely voters. There's no question what the purpose of public polling is and it's hilarious that you're that ignorant of its purpose.

Fortunately, we don't have to worry about screening results to show that the majority of Americans disapprove of Trump and his administration. His job approval ratings are historically low.
