Do you know how long a mile is? Seriously. I'm not sure if you understand that 30% doesn't mean "almost never".

Do you know what, "hyperbole", is?

If the polls were that wrong about President Elects Trump, they're that wring about Obama.
 
Obama will rightly go down as an historic President because he was the first black President. sort of like Jackie Robinson, execpt Jackie was the first black AND he was a star player.
What great achievements can Barack Obama claim ?

The Democratic party is in complete shambles right now and any objective analysis would conclude that Obama deserves a large share of the blame for that.

Good. Thanks for explaining that what you were saying previously was bull****.

But once again, the polls were off by low single digit percentages. You can dismiss all polling from now on just because they were off by 2% this election. That's stupid. And I'm not using hyperbole when I say that.

538 was off by 70%

It means that, as predicted, 30% of the coverage area got rain. That's how that works.

Bad analogy.

This was more like Vanderbilt beating Alabama according to 538's poll.
 
Obama is leaving and people are happy. I approve.

No, it means that the weather service isn't sure whether or not it will rain, but they think the odds re against it.

I'm sure Obama is happy. Why anyone would want to be president with all of the total BS that gets thrown is a mystery to me. Now, we'll have a president who throws BS right back, so maybe he'll do OK. We'll see.

You don't understand how that works? Really?

The pollsters seemed pretty damned sure that President Trump was going to lose. :lamo

Yep.
About 70/30. Not good odds, but not all that long. Better than drawing to an inside straight.

Lol, so if I say that there's a 50% chance of a coin landing on tails and it lands tails you think I was 50% off?

Seriously, are you just trolling or something? Trying to make Trump supporters appear nonsensical?
