    Can someone please show me a post where someone has apologized for Hillary? I'd just like a reference here, since it's the new catch phrase.

    apologist
    noun [ C ] UK ​ /əˈpɒl.ə.dʒɪst/ US ​ /əˈpɑː.lə.dʒɪst/ formal
    ​
    a person who supports a particular belief or political system, especially an unpopular one, and speaks or writes in defence of it:
    communism and its apologists
    There are few apologists for the old system.

    clearly.
    I think he loses by at least 10 points. The one thing Free and I do agree on are that polls are meaningless.

    it's not drama. why are polls considered meaningless?

    because national voting percentages mean nothing. it's all about electoral votes. Trump without PA, OH, and/or VA can't win. he is still losing in those states.

    I assumed the polls would have taken that into consideration.

    Polls are a media tool to influence behavior. They are used to create drama to make you think that they matter when they really don't. Media has to create drama in one way or another anyway...

    I'm not new to this idea, I just thought that maybe the polling tools would have been a little more sophisticated than that.

    It is odd to watch my news feed and see "Trump now leads Clinton by 2% Nationwide" and then a few minutes later see "Clinton maintains 6 point national lead over Trump"

    There are many many polls. What Nate Silver would say is that they are consistent. Some are consistently wrong and some are consistently right. His formula takes all of those into account.

    Even with Trump shrinking the polling gap he still shows Clinton with a 67% likelihood of being elected at this point. A few weeks ago it was closer to 80%

    I don't think polls take electoral votes into consideration at all. Why would they?

    Correct. National polls are weighted for political affiliation and other demographics, but not state. However, a tightening of polls nationally will likely lead to the same effect in the states. Clinton cannot run out the clock or rely on the debates. She needs to get back out on the trail and on the news. Trumps handlers have stemmed the bleeding.

    PS I sincerely apologize for Hillary.

    While sitting in the waiting room waiting for a CT scan today I watched a bit of CNN News on their TV. The story was about how Trump and Hillary were in a "virtual tie". Did I shit my pants seeing that? No, I just rolled my eyes. The whole thing played out on TV like some bad, dumb virtual reality TV show. Welcome to the new America- a poorly scripted dumb virtual reality TV show.

    I don't even have to watch it to laugh at that premise.
