uspol; schadenfreude (+)
Haha, I just caught the Political Insider, one of the pro-Trump sites I hateread, blatantly snowjobbing its readers. They were crowing about how *one* poll shows the general election margin is something tiny like three percent... when they just got done the other day lecturing readers about how nothing matters but *individual* races... which are still going great for us, per Nate Silver's models. But their source for the OTHER assertion in their article? Nate Silver. :D
re: uspol; schadenfreude (+)
They're desperate. You can tell they're desperate when they quote people whose actual research, in its full context, doesn't support them in the least. They're hoping nobody will notice, and in the case of Trump supporters, they're absolutely right. But I see what they're doing. *They* don't think the facts support a GOP win, either. They just know they can't afford to admit it.
