re: #60 Targetpractice

It seems somebody among the NYT editors decided that “Look at how many Trump supporters we can find in Appalachia” stories weren’t working anymore and chose to challenge themselves to finding “liberal” Trump supporters. And they succeeded by…finding the sort of people you find when lots of money is involved:

tl;dr, the Gray Lady hunted down a couple of star fuckers and social climbers who think money protects them from the sort of people that Trump’s political career is built upon. Why? Because they once tried to glom onto Hillary and a staffer stopped them, so they made a decision on Election Night ‘16 that they wanted to be with “winners” and jumped on the Trump bandwagon.

One of the reasons the polls have been so very wrong this time around. People like this are counted as trump supporters and the count is extrapolated to return rubbish.

Just looked at 538 for the expectations for California 21st

1/5 chance Dem win
4/5 chance GOP win
