I mean, I was aware that LBJ in 1964 has the high score in terms of popular vote, but I didn't expect him to outperform current numbers
Huh?
@[Lex] you're talking about Trump in 2016?
Yep.
It's not the first in a hundred years.
Woodrow Wilson was the last person.
1916.
Nope.
George W. Bush
Born in Connecticut
Same with George H.W. Bush, born in Massachusetts
Home doesn't mean "born In".
And Richard Nixon, whose state of residence was New York
You're right actually.
there are some peculiar cases when it comes to 'home state'
Eisenhower's home state in 1952 was New York. Apparently he was President of Columbia University
This is a false statistic.
Wikipedia as per usual.
Richard Nixon's home state was New York in 1968 because he lived there
Yep.
With Wilson's year, America wasn't as polarized, oddly--not many comparable cases.
Anything to punctuate the embarrassment of Trump's victory.
The most comparable case is when Lincoln lost Kentucky.
Or when Polk lost Tennessee _and_ North Carolina
fixed

while we all hate LBJ, I can't help but admire just how effective that son of a bitch was
Predictit is very pro-blue wave in its odds it seems.
leftists are the usual buyers, you can tell from the forums

I've been on PredictIt since May last year. It's full of leftists betting on their feels while still worshipping Nate Silver and circlejerking over how they think Drumpf is awful
Who’s Nate Silver?
he's the guy behind 538
in the West Virginia primary they were circlejerking over how Blankenship was going to make "rural retards who can't read" vote for him and give Manchin the election
He's a Jew who mispredicted the 2016 election and has lost a great deal of credibility since.
look out for this one commenter named 'Ballard'
he is a gay guy with an obsession over the alt-right. Apparently he thinks that if he wasn't gay, he'd have become an alt-righter, which is why he speaks out so much about them and how evil they are
his posts are entertaining because he goes into excruciating psychological detail sometimes, and has an ultra-pretentious writing style
I hope to the Lord there's a red wave so they lose the thousands of dollars they've gambled.
they also love this blog: https://politicalkiwi.wordpress.com/
yeah, if the Red Storm does happen, I'm definitely going to check out PredictIt
