The problem with one poster's refusing to respond to the question(s) of another poster - at least if that refusal comes without identifying the reason(s) for the refusal - is that the questioning poster has no way of understanding the …

I assume you mean the fact that states large and small all have the same number of senators. The problem with that example is that it reflects the American legislative process, NOT the American electoral
(Quote)Wyoming has approximately 0.2% of the country's population, yet has approximately 0.6% of the electoral college's votes. That is, the voters of Wyoming have approximately 200% more representation in the electoral college than their sta…
(Quote)CM, on my first reading of his post, I didn't notice reformed's encouragement to "attack" you if I didn't want to be a hypocrite. I didn't "attack" reformed and I certainly intended no "attack" on you in my previous post. No one needs …
(Quote)The only eyewitness of whom I am aware was the other then-teenager involved in the alleged incident, allegedly also very intoxicated at the time. Alcohol can affect memory.
We don't know that this incident happ…
(Quote)How do you know "this never happened"?
(Quote)What's the point of ANY poll? To give information about the views of the population from which the sample comes. I think it's fair to say that to most politicos, where the nation stands with regard to the major party presidential candi…
(Quote)To say that the national polls had "no point" in 2016 is a VERY different claim than that they were "way wrong" in 2016.
In my view, national polls during presidential election campaigns serve a valuable advisory role, similar …
(Quote)When it comes to the definition of "bullying," mine is the dictionary's. What's yours?
(Quote)Some comments:
- I sent you a total of four PMs on the subject. I don't think four qualifies as "tons," but you're free to conclude otherwise.
- I sent you the first of those four PMs on June 14, in response t…
What these forums need more than anything Gao Lu, is posters who are committed to one of the forums’ fundamental directives: “Criticize ideas, not people.”
That’s it.
- These forums don’t need lengthy diatribes…
(Quote)No, they were NOT "way wrong."
Remember, the national polls tracked the national popular sentiment going into the election - basically, they predicted the outcome of the national popular vote. The natio…
(Quote)To take an average of polls, not any one poll, is my practice. No average of polls will produce Rasmussen's result.
As for 2016, the in Heartless America! Comment by Bill_Coley September 2018
(Quote)Lots of heads turned in response to a recent Rasmussen Poll that reported 36% approval Trump among African Americans. As you would say, reformed, "anyone with half a brain" knows that Rasmussen polls skew to the political right. Little…
(Quote)It may well be nothing. But it may also be something.
For additional information about the allegation and how its been handled by Sen. Feinstein and others, see in Trump has chosen his Supreme Court nominee (Brett Michael Kavanaugh) Comment by Bill_Coley September 2018
(Quote)Don't accuse me, reformed. Quote me.
I don't just accuse you of name-calling. I can provide quotes from and direct links to posts in which you've called other CD posters "stupid," "ignorant," "an idiot," and of course, a "pig.…
(Quote)So Zapatosky also does not report that the "FBI says nothing criminal" happened. He certainly allows for the possibility that nothing criminal happened! But neither he nor his WAPO colleague reports that the FBI has decided/said "nothi…
(Quote)A strong argument, reformed. In fact, let's update the old adage: "Please avoid thinking 'two wrongs don't make a right.'" There. Now if we don't want to hassle with that old chestnut, we don't have to. After all, it o…
(Quote)Love matters, so I'm glad your love my illustrations. I love how well you explain how my illustrations are "unequal and unrelated."
The point of my previous post was rooted in simple math: A stock market that gains 2,000 points…
Mr. Trump's character took another dive deep into the mud this morning when he tweeted, without evidence, that the nea…
(Quote)Somehow I predicted this would be at least part of the response to my post.
Two responses:
- "Anyone with half a brain" knows that percentage changes offer a FAR more fair and accurate way of comparing outcomes. …
(Quote)But if, as Jan reports, name-calling "is not allowed by forum rules," why does whether you - t…
(Quote)Your lack of "(interest) in going back to the Bush era" reminds me of a Bible interpreter who in review of a particular passage says "I'm not interested in going back past v.14. V.13 is too far back to be relevant!"
The problem…
(Quote)The objective truth is that Obama took office when the economy was in the throes of the Great Recession, which began in 2008, before he took office. There is no rational economist who blames that recession - or the fact that the econom…
(Quote)I saw this graph on another website, CM, and had two reactions to it:
1) It reflects the objective truth that the stock market's journey to its current levels began during the Obama administration, WELL before Donald Trump took…
(Quote)What "(level) of name-calling" was it when you called Wolfgang a "pig"?
(Quote)Thank you, Jan.
I appreciate the pyramid of terms, particularly its lowest four members, which in my view appear in their correct ascending/descending order. I'm curious as to what you and others think about the first three mem…
(Quote)According to its authorizing document, Mueller's investigation was to probe possible Trump campaign collusion with Russians AND "any matters that arose or may arise directly from (his) investigation," as well as "any other matters with…
