NV-RGJ: Clinton +1

[Alcon]

Thats not a tie Tender.

It is. It's also what the newspaper writes ...

The header should be "Clinton +1".

You Hillary fetishists had your few days of glory and hype, so don't b*tch and moan around when I write "tie", which is totally accurate for that poll.

In what Universe is Clinton 45, Trump 44, a tie?  Close, yes; tied, no.  You're completely in the wrong here.

He had no problem posting Trump +1 in a MO poll in early September. https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=244808.0

Anyway, I do find Tender descent into full-fledge hack humorous. Bernie lost, dude.....get over it.

There's no difference between C+1 or T+1 or calling it a "tie". Get over my heading ... dude.

There absolutely is.  Just because something is within the margin of error doesn't make it a "tie."  It's not like a result is a 50/50 chance until you exit the margin of error, and it's then suddenly 95%.  Just quit it and fix the title like an adult.

Instead of 50 posters launching an attack against me for writing "tie" into a heading, you guys should seriously wonder why Hillary's hyped lead has all but disappeared again within a matter of days in a crucial swing state (which Obama won by 7 and 14) ...

Oh my god Tender, stop acting like a child. You're pulling a Trump now and making a silly little thing into a big deal.

The results were not "tie." The title is not meant to reflect your views on statistical ties. Post the results as they are.

Nah, it's really you guys who are acting like a child because you cannot accept my heading ... because of your hatred against me.

I don't hate you, and even if I did, that would have absolutely no effect on whether or not you're wrong here.  Which you absolutely are.

Stop being wrong.  It's not that hard.

[Alcon]

Hmm ...

Hundreds of people have created threads already saying a poll is a "tie", even if a candidate "leads" by 1 (or even 2) points.

But if I post it one time, there's an onslaught of attacks against me ...

I haven't interacted with you about this in the past, but I can 100% confirm that you're being totally obnoxious right now.  If that's a pattern for you, maybe that's why you're getting more criticism.  People who can't accept polite correction without a bunch of eye-rolling self-pity tend to get less-polite correction.

[Alcon]

It's a shame that the Hillary supporters need their own politically correct thread about how a poll result is phrased ...

God you're being annoying.  "Politically correct" as in normal correct.

It's not "political correctness" when you're wrong and don't want to admit it.

[Alcon]

I'm off now. Do what you want with the thread, merge it, delete it, keep the segregated threads etc.

But I certainly won't re-name it ...

OK, so despite the fact that I explained the mathematical error you were making, you spent a bunch of time complaining about being corrected, instead of fixing your error, or even conceding it.  Despite this self-pitying nonsense, you seem to think people are being unfair in being impolite to you.  You actually seem to think that "people are mean to me" is sufficient reason not to correct or admit to your error.

Yeah, if you had any question why people aren't being polite to you, this is why.
