Romney Lost. So What's Next?

Wow, I'm impressed you acknowledge my brain being nearly 16x the size of your own! Thanks pal

 

Truthfully, we are sitting less than a month past the election facing probably some of, if not the, biggest economic and fiscal challenges of any one on this forums lifetimes. And we are facing it with a divided country, a split Congress and a second term President who barely managed to get 50% of the popular vote.

The landscape of this country and both parties could be so different in 2016 that anything we think now about any potential candidates of either party could be so completely wrong as to be laughable.

But it passes the time.

 

Yes, the future appears grim. However, I have faith in 48% of the people in this country to pull us through.

 

that was 48% of those that voted, not 48% of Americans. That 48% represents about 19% of the population (18.9...%). 28.6% of the total voting-eligible population.

What was that you were saying about liberals and math?

 

6 + 9 = 4.

Now that we have that settled.

What was the topic again?

 

No, I was right the first time. I think 48% of this country has their head on straight. Many don't vote.

 

Thanks for the lesson in liberal math!

 

What is the popular vote if not a really big poll? lol

But I think the point is that this country is deeply divided no matter which way you look at it. 50.5% of the popular vote, I am pretty sure 26 of 50 states, divided Congress, 50-55% approval ratings, whatever. The EC was not close but that is not an indication of how evenly divided the country is. It is just the number you need to get elected.

 

Does anyone else find it ironic that the Right-wingers here can't stop harping on the "liberal math" when the entire Right-wing media just gave this country a lesson in math that clearly had no relationship to the numbers most of us learned in school? Once again, they take a perfectly valid and recently proven criticism of themselves and try to turn it around on those pointing it out to them and learn nothing. If it wasn't so easy to predict, it would almost be entertaining but it is just sad. Project much?

Go ahead a compare Rasmussen's predictive math to Nate Silver's and see if liberal math is better than the math from the Right-wingers. I dare you.

 

I'm not against liberals who sometimes get their math right. It's just that YOUR math skills leave so much to be desired.

 

So you say based exclusively on your inability and unwillness to read a very, very clear post. But, you like Fox News, prefer a good lie over the reality the rest of prefer.

So liberals "sometimes" get math right? Every single Right leaning media source got their math wrong. You used your math skills to predict a Romney win. In fact, I have been predicting the Obama win for the ladt year. I used my math to accurately predict the winner. So now you feel the need to criticize my math. Hum? Reaching much?

 

The news media generally gets their math right (although I may not agree with their assumptions), but you have repeatedly demonstrated a failure to comprehend larger/smaller, greater/improving, etc.

 

Hahahah... Did you also use math to "predict" that Scott Walker would win? You even thought McCain got more votes in 2008 than Romney got in 2012. Some math wiz you are!

Here, pin this on the wall in your office:

Do you have this filter in your head that only allows you to see the things that you want to see? Because it sure would explain a lot.

 

6 + 9 = 4.

 

Is this just math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better, or is this real?

 

9 + 6 = 4?

 

Maybe not Presidential material but I like the way he thinks and he's certainly not afraid to voice his opinions.

I agree.
