Anyone else remember that time last week when this model showed Trump winning and we kept having to hear about it? Figured I may as well share:
http://i.imgur.com/tlMTNkU.pngIs that 538's "Now-cast?" If that's what it is then I think they should get rid of that immediately, they should have never even made it in the first place. I'm usually in the "the more the better" camp when it comes to election data but that thing is so useless and it's so ripe for causing people to misunderstand elections that it's better off not even existing haha.

Of course you're deflecting. The criticism to which you were responding is clearly "a vote for Hiliary is a vote for putting gun grabbers onto the Supreme Court," to which you replied with commentary about Scalia, someone the likes of whom Hiliary would never in a million years appoint to the court. I showed you a clear example of how gun grabbers vote (refusing to incorporate, which would allow local and state bans to remain in effect), and the best you've got is some manufactured/prefab argument about whatever you think the issue is about, rather than what is actually being discussed.
The great thing about Scalia saying what he said, and being absolutely right about it, is that hurr durrs like you and that guy can't just laughably equate SCOTUS judges performing in their capacity with "gun grabbing" simply because you may not like how they happen to vote. It doesn't matter if Clinton would nominate him or not because he'd be fulfilling his duties just like her eventual nominee would all the same. There's never going to be a point in time when the people will not be able to determine what limits there are on their constitutionally-protected rights. The court is doing what the court is supposed to do.
Dumb people have been saying dumb things about people like Obama and Clinton being interested in coming for all their guns and they've been wrong about it, the entire time. Though thanks for the fucking laugh on the attempted projection at the end.
