  5. Today’s topic. Besides me, who or what else ruined HHR?

    My nomination is the acceptance of conspiracy blogs like Gateway Pundit and ZeroHedge.

    I thought about nominating Trump but the difficulty there is that there are 2 factors – Trump’s policies (other than tariffs and isolationism) are generally good. The Cult is determined to protect Trump at all costs.

    🚨 BREAKING: Iowa pollster Ann Selzer retires from polling.

    Her final Iowa poll was Harris+3 and she tried to justify it. The final result was Trump+13 – an error of 16 points.

    The Selzer poll was previously the “gold standard” of polling.

    However, Selzer says this decision to retire was made before her final poll of 2024.

  20. Regarding the recent unpleasantness at HHR.

    1. HHR, during both Dave’s and Bitter’s stewardship, has been a place where bullies run free. The difference between now and then is that back then, there were more regular posters than today, so it just appears the bullies have an outsized control of HHR under Bitter. They just run off new posters and some of the older posters who checked in for polls and intelligent conversation.
    2. The idea that someone can want this place to be a place of respectful discourse while at the same time attacking some posters incessantly for sharing their differing opinions is one of the most ludicrous self-delusions shared by some on this site.
    3. The REPUBLICAN party no longer supports the US being the world’s policeman, according to its platform. NeoCons are the outsiders and the RINO’s since the GOP’s self definition excludes those views. However, a NeoCon could still be considered a “conservative” if we use one of several variations on what a conservative is.

    Just my opinion.

  23. Noted. Thanks.

    It is true that R party base is now isolationist and protectionist. That is the main reason I left the party. I believe that as the only true superpower, the US does have a role as the world’s policeman, and that the results benefit us in a way that far exceeds the costs of doing so. I also believe in free trade, free markets, personal responsibility, free enterprise and limited government. None of these things characterize the current R party, certainly not Trump or Vance, so it is no longer my party. So be it. Nothing is forever.

    But it is also true that I have long said that if the R party wanted to stay relevant, it needed to become a populist working class party that appealed to different demographics, it could no longer rely on a coalition of white suburban + rural voters to counter the Dems’s strength with urban, blue collar and minorities. And that is what is happening, the party IS becoming a “working class” party and it is appealing to more minorities. This is a good thing even if I disagree with the message that allows it to happen.

Trump’s result of 56.0% is an unbelievable probability of 1/400 billion based on random error.
