math nerds will tell you the statistics behind dice, but I'll have you know I rolled a six on my first shot. they said there was only a 16.6% chance of that happening. math confirmed debunked

I mean these are the same polls that said Hillary was almost guaranteed the presidency so if you still think those are valid you're out of your mind
I'm not gonna base any of my opinions off of these polls that also told me Annoying Orange had a 5% chance of winning right before he beat Hillary to death with his flaccid electoral vote rooster

No one was expecting the election to be a blowout besides some liberal bloggers, most people like myself were just confident in saying that Hillary would win against Annoying Orange based on the statistics. 538 which was probably the base predictor gave Annoying Orange a 1/3 chance, which is still high enough that him winning wasn't a statistical blowout

I guess there's something to be said about polls and models being more and more wrong though. A mirror version of that happened in the UK this June when a ton of pollsters though the Tories would secure a pretty big majority and they ended up losing seats to Labour.
