Have yall never played poker/thrown a dice/anything random? When he says libs can relax its because the ODDS of winning are in his favor, but they are still fucking odds. Trump can still roll a 6 and win. If trump wins a) if he predicted that biden would have won, you’d get angry. b) if he predicted trump would have won, thats a shitty prediction that has little basis in the data and even if he was right nobody would listen to a guy who guessed right by chance!!

Think that i win if a coin lands thrice on heads. It’s a 12.5% chance i win. Would you bet for me? No. Would you be surprised if i win? Also no, i still had a chance.

The chances lie in the fact that many ppl will vote on a whim based on how they feel one particular day, and you cant know all the data or how reliable it is. He isnt covering his ass, he is acknowledging that he cannot know with utmost precision. Its not a political/emotional thing, its how math works.

The makeup of the electoral college will be what the Supreme Court decides on. Trump will most likely end up with 270 in one way or another.

ok, how do i tell you this dude, this is not what he is predicting? you cant put numbers on those things. stop trying to look smart like that, it’s like considering “what if i get up and punch you” in a game of chess. i know you are right but this is not what any of us is talking about

He’s predicting who will win what states based on the official vote count in each. The official vote count in some state will likely be in dispute leaving the SC to make a decision that ultimately determines it. We will never know the actual vote count, so it doesn’t matter. In your own words, “you can’t put numbers on those things”.

If he were around to predict Gore winning in 2000, would you say he got it right only for it to be overruled by the Supreme Court? No, because we don’t know who won Florida.
