Trump’s actual response when asked if he would make affordable child care a priority.

I actually did go back and read it after you gave me about it and also an entire Wikipedia article, too. My opinion did not change. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent that I agree with your stance. But hey, thanks for calling me ignorant. I appreciate it!

Why do you hate joy? Honestly, I think a lot of people are sick and tired of the doom and gloom/everything’s going to hell politics of the last 10yrs. She might win on joy alone.

WTF are you babbling about here? What exactly did I refuse to admit? That Lichtman changed his prediction model from the popular vote to the electoral college? I admit that. That still doesn’t make him a snake oil salesman or that his track record isn’t impressive. That’s just your own opinion. And you demanding that I delete my post was absolutely not worth more than a Maybe if you think on it hard enough you could come up with a logical reason why he changed his model prediction. You know-like maybe the fact that Presidents winning the electoral college but not the popular vote were outliers until recently.

You’re on a roll tonight.

Should I fetch you a fainting couch for your hysterics? J/K I’m willing to cut her a little slack considering she’s running one of the shortest campaigns in history. Plus it’s not like the former guy is explaining all his policies, either. Or even coherently…

No, I didn’t read it. I wasn’t disputing that it said that, just asking why then doesn’t he claim to have correctly called all 10? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Of course she could, and I don’t disagree with Tim’s take earlier about politicians not being upfront, but that’s the game these days.

I guess if you’re a my glass is 1/2 empty kinda guy. We don’t know yet what she’s proposing. Which is why I was stressing not jumping to conclusions.

This doesn’t make sense. If that was the case he could claim he accurately predicted all 10 of the last elections because Gore won the popular vote.

We’ll have to see the specifics for sure. I was just sick of seeing all the price control fear mongering that’s been going on. My best guess would be to look at Sen Warren’s bill to see what it might look like.

The example shown from Maryland states: Wondering if it would be something similar? Also, didn’t Kroger admit to price gouging during covid at a recent ant-trust trial?

It would probably be similar to what 30 states already have in the books. https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/kamala-harris-calls-for-a-federal-ban-on-corporate-price-gouging

I don’t remember exactly. I was too busy out whoring around to pay too much attention to politics back then. I could chalk maybe 1/2 a dozen times up to luck, but this guy is a data nerd. He poured over every US election and found a common set of denominators. Not saying I’m gonna go out and make a bet on his predictions, but if I did, I’d feel pretty confident.

Tomato, tomahto. A quitter by any other name…

Blowhard or not, his track record is pretty impressive.

They cropped out her face in all the photos.

He’s only been partially wrong once-Bush vs Gore. He asserts that if they had not stopped counting the votes, Gore would have won.

Could use a little more girth.

What a coincidence. I just got my How to Steal the 2024 Election handbook!

He definitely fits in the weird camp.

Another list I didn’t make!
