If you think Trump has a legitimate chance of winning you should at least be able to come up with the states for him to win to make that feasible.

So you're demanding that I discuss topics of your choosing? Laff.

Internet Pro Tip #42: when you paint yourself this far into a corner, the smart thing to do is pretend you didn't see the followup posts and avoid the thread for a day or two. We'll still be here tomorrow.

Lol I'm not demanding anything just asked you to attempt to back up your position and by your reaction it appears you can't....

Once you're proven wrong, back away. No need to go on a rant demanding answers to questions of your choosing.

My statement was simple - PA is not required. That doesn't mean I'm looking to get into a discussion about possible electoral college parhways. You guys should just give it up. I called out a singular statement that was true. Get over it. If losing on that point makes you feel bad, I'll send ya an e-cookie.

Right. Whatever. Point is, people here who actually stayed awake during math class and who understand how the electoral college works were having a serious conversation, pointing out the mathematical difficulties Trump would face if he doesn't win Pennsylvania. Then you pop in with "Nuh-uh, isn't so," and naturally people are going to wonder if you have any logical reason for saying so.

Turns out you don't. No harm, and certainly no surprise.

But the thing is, this is a poll thread, not an opinion thread. We talk about polls here, numbers, mathematical models. The only time you ever want to talk about that is if Trump has a poll that looks reasonably good for him, and any other time all you ever offer is "I don't believe in no polls, I know better." You've got dozens of other threads for that nonsense, and it gets really tiring after a while.

You don't understand the difference between the words difficult and impossible. We are done here. I will give you the last word if that'll make you any better. And go...
