      Oh I understand it just fine. Fine enough not to rely on polling to indicate anything. 538 isn’t accurate. Why is that up for debate?

      Odds can’t be wrong?

        If I told you that you had a five in six chance to roll the dice and not roll a one, and then you rolled the dice and got a one, was what I told you wrong?

          Their odds predicted the past two elections wrong. What part of this is not getting through?

          There wasn’t a five in six chance for the candidates during either of the previous two elections. So I’m ignoring your example.

          They were wrong. Twice. Enough said.
