Language gets to me more and more as I find myself closer to death. hahahahah

High floor. I dunno.

Low ceiling?

Nate was sooooooooo much fun in '08 and '12?

A high floor should only be attributed to the posh apartment at the top?

Anyway, I am holding my breath for you Flavius.

Another part of the forest.

Now comes Nate Silver who tells us that "Trump has a fairly high floor , about 30% ". He has these people who show up in exit polls saying they had "decided months ago". And they'll probably stick with him.. But, says Nate, when Trump starts earning higher numbers those supporters "will be relatively new to him " folks who used to be listed as supporters of other candidates. And, still according to Nate, there's a rule in polling called LIFO-last in first out. Which as a one time accountant I can confirm is an accounting "convention" (don't ask).

But these "newbies" will in fact be "new". They're the "last in". And could be the first to be seduced "out"..

Sounds as if it might be encouraging. But....

While that may be the experience with Trump's "floor" within the closed world of Republican candidates is that same phenomenon dependable when the question is Trump vs the democratic candidates. Logic might say yes or no but I'm not interested in logic, I'm interested in history.

Sooner or later I'll find Nate's position on that and I'll report back here.

I'm sure you'll be holding your breath.

Yes, we faked the moon landing. Even now people get weirded out when astronauts say they heard weird music. How could they have handled the truth?

You know Peracles, I still think that Trump got into this mess all because Obama made fun of him. hahahahah

DID WE FAKE THE MOON LANDING?

This has nothing to do with nothing. I just recall the '80's when I was a n active contributor to this fine society.
