Nonsense. Truly, that is nonsense.

The whole “amateur” criticism is incredibly hypocritical. Trump is over 70 years old, and has decades upon decades of executive experience. In that regard, he will be one of the most experienced people ever to assume the office of President. Similarly, he has decades of experience of doing business internationally,…

I don’t know about you, but if it’s 55 degrees I am freezing my ass off with 3 layers on.

Um, the Fortune source you cited doesn’t say he will lead the transition team. It says he might be offered the position, but sources say he may be inclined to turn it down. What they said is that he has joined the team, which is quite the difference.

But they clearly don’t have the outsized influence that most media types believed. The executives of these companies were extremely disproportionally favoring democrats, both at the national and local level, and their attempts to leverage their platforms for powerful democrats failed. The conservatives in these…

As is typical of liberals, this canvasses disproportionately urban areas. Hence the result. Take a look at the result map, and it’s easy to see why this liberal cultural bubble led urbanites to be so surprised at the outcome

It has nothing to do with the cabinet, actually (never was that more true than here, as most former top Bush officials abstained or outright opposed Trump).

I keep hearing people blame prediction models for being misleading, but this is not entirely accurate. Some were, sure. Princeton’s model was asinine; I don’t know how someone can delude themselves into believing any candidate for US President has a 99% chance of winning. It tarnishes that University’s reputation,…

Contrary to popular belief, the reasoning behind Roe v. Wade has already been eviscerated, in part by justices generally seen as to the left. In Roe, the logic was that there was a right of a woman to have an abortion, which came from a ‘penumbra’ of rights found in the bill of rights; that right was then balanced…

Except, Silver was among the more accurate of prognosticators. He basically had Clinton winning by 2-1 odds as of a couple of days ago. As such, it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that she lost, based solely on that

So, no Google Assistant then? I had assumed that, while it launched with the Pixel phones, it would move to other flagships in short order. It’s hard to imagine Samsung taking on Siri and Google and believing it will come out on top

7 years is not a long time at all in the shipping industry. Take a look at how old some of the ships are, and how long it takes to retrofit them. It’s an incredibly time-consuming, and expensive, process. Also, purely from an environmental standpoint, faster is not always better. Junking working equipment has its…

On the one hand, both candidates are New Yorkers, at least ostensibly if not in reality.

Close to it, yes. 10 out of 19 I think. No other nation has more than 2, and most have 0

And largely paid for by us. We spend billions on R&D, and skimp on securing the data

Gotta chuckle about Sanders. The irony is that he is Jar Jar in the Star Wars scenario. He thinks he’s doing the right thing, while not realizing he’s being played as the biggest sucker of all time.

Yet again, what I commented is that, irrespective on whether you or anyone else thinks that vote by mail is wise or not, it has been debated hotly in Colorado. As such, there is no reason to believe the Trump statements were seeded by a tweet, and plenty of reasons to think it was discussed with Colorado’s…

The issue of whether vote by mail, or other practices such as voting weeks before an election, are proper and wise. I never said, however, that anyone was correct on the merits. What I said was that it is, in fact, a well-known political issue, and therefore there is no reason to believe it came from an obscure…

No, it’s not. But what it does show is there is absolutely no reason to make the gigantic leap in the post that the idea came from twitter. The issue is well known in Colorado, particularly among the State legislators. Considering that Trump has visited there quite a bit and has interacted with them, it is…
