He's probably just doing other stuff. Most of the polling industries missed this one.

I used to dislike him but lately I've found his condescending attitude kind of funny.

It's naive to think the pollsters REALLY had no clue at all what was going on.

It's way more realistic that they KNEW Trump had a good chance but lied about it to try to discourage Trump voters and prop up Hillary.

ABC released a poll showing Hillary +12 just a couple of days before the election. They basically predicted a landslide. They were correct, the election was a landslide, but not for HRC.

These pollsters would oversample Democrats by massive margins, would flat out ignore half the people they polled who said they were voting Trump, and would basically reverse-engineer their polls to show Hillary was winning.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm hoping he pulled a Chris Benoit


You know, I really don't like the guy, but I don't wish that on anyone.

One thing we can agree on is that guy was a total dope.

"I'm a professional". Yeah, just like the thousands of other "professionals" who predicted a Clinton landslide. These people are nothing but big mouthed losers trying to feel important while simultaneously having 0 grasp on reality.

Just leaving this here.

edit: does anyone know his twitter account? He was last seen on JSP 7 days ago. I'm deeply concerned he may be contemplating suicide or self-harm.


7 day absences are actually pretty common for him.



The way it sounds, the pollsters missed because people in phone interviews were less likely to admit to another person that they were supporting Trump. Probably because they would almost invariably be called a bigot, a racist, etc. They were, for once, the actual silent majority.

Yeah that's a good point. I've met many people who were silent supporters. I had no idea until after the election when they admitted they voted for him.

Kind of funny how apparently the Republican party is the one of racist, bigotry, and violence, yet it's the Trump supporters who actually fear for their lives/careers/safety just for having a certain political viewpoint.

this exactly, a number of them were bordering on outright lying. 10+ to (C)linton by multiple polls within less than a month from election day. hahahhahahahahah

where i reside, openly even being ambivalent towards Trump will get you berated at least, and at worst, hanged drawn and quartered :rofl:

Number of days he will return from today?

And does any return to jsp count or does it have to be a post on PaRD?
