    If I flip a coin five times and four times it comes up tails and the last time it comes up heads, that doesn’t mean the next flip will necessarily come up heads. And elections are a national coin flip.

      This is without a doubt the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. You need to go back your high school civics class (or, more likely, wait until you can take it in sophomore year) if you genuinely believe presidential elections are a 50/50 random result with no way to make educated predictions of the results.

        Stopped reading at the insult. If you want to have a conversation with me, I will only participate if it is a civil one.
