“nobody — nobody — was predicting that the Republicans would win by 12 or 16 percentage points.” An excess 14% thinking republicans will win doesn’t predict a 14% margin, it predicts 14% excess probability that republicans win, by some amou

I don’t find the “kids in their 20s” stuff very compelling and it kinda unnecessarily weakens the argument. It’s a pretty stretched argument, fresh grads are likely writing some code on these solutions, but there’s undoubtedly egads of “adu
