Prediction Stated as Fact

[DaveT]

You saw it on the board, over and over again -- Hillary is going to win! My very favorite example was an innocent soul who offered to bet their life that Hillary would win. Backing up these predictions stated as facts were a formidable array of polling results showing big leads for the former Secretary of State.

Sanders supporters frequently responded to these crowing posts with critiques of those polling numbers. The comparison to 2007 showed to any honest observer that an early lead does not necessarily equate to victory on election day. Another common argument was that Hillary has far better name ID.

Hillary supporters, in the main, blew nothing but raspberries at those arguments.

Now that polling has for a number of weeks showed that Sanders runs significantly better against the Republicans, we now see a barrage of predictions stated as facts from 180 degrees in the opposite direction. Now they are predicting that Sanders' numbers will fall due to negative campaigning from his opponents.

Maybe so. Maybe not.

But predictions are not facts and nothing will make a prediction a fact.

1. Their claims

Seem to be willing to ignore the fact that anything that the opposition can throw at Bernie will be tripled at hillary.. she has more garbage and more weak spots than he does by magnitudes..

2. That is the funniest thing about their story now that it is real contest

Hillary will face the same propaganda barrage and if she becomes President she will face the same gerrymandered House of Representatives. They don't even bother to consider the consequence of their own argument.

And, the objective record shows that Bernie has a far better track record than Hillary in elective politics.

It is pathetic, in my opinion.
