I couldn't find that one, did find the mention of counties quite a few times.

Sometimes statistical analysis is tricky, and sometimes a finding just jumps off the page. Here’s one example of the latter.

 

I took a list of all 981 U.S. counties1 with 50,000 or more people2 and sorted it by the share of the population3 that had completed at least a four-year college degree. Hillary Clinton improved on President Obama’s 2012 performance in 48 of the country’s 50 most-well-educated counties. And on average, she improved on Obama’s margin of victory in these countries by almost 9 percentage points, even though Obama had done pretty well in them to begin with.

Ok, got it. You really want to argue over a clear spelling mistake?

I mean there's the lesser of two evils, bad and worse, <deleted> and syphiilis. And then there's Biden. Why would anyone enthusiastically support that choice when the process that led to his nomination wasn't even close to democratic? We Democrats had atleast a dozen better choices than Biden. So how did he become inevitable?

 

Sure, it's unfortunate that this Alzheimer's guy became the candidate when there were many more vibrant, and progressive candidates. But, they didn't have the mainstream party traction, and now the choice is merely anyone who can dislodge this horrible abomination of a person from the presidency. In that respect, Joe is as good as anyone, and of course, his VP choice becomes critical. It has to be someone young enough and smart enough to take over. Personally, I would vote for a tired old dog to lead the country (in either party) instead of this massive sicko. And, I will do so.

the author of an article about education levels fails to properly proofrede his work.  that is all.

 

if you want to discuss the statistics, it shows trump targeted working class voters and manufacturing states.  he campaigned in the states necessary to gain the electoral votes to win the election.

 

smart.

If you've been around long enough you learn to appreciate a bad liar. You can dismiss everything they say out of hand. What I really hate is a good liar. Obama was a good liar because we all wanted to believe his lofty rhetoric signifying nothing. You can't keep that up for 8 years without people discovering that you're full of <deleted>. Enter Trump. Thanks Obama!

That's probably the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard for Trumps complete inability to act like a sane adult. As others have said in this thread, his supporters are getting really desperate now. Nice try but no cigar.

No, making spelling mistakes while complaining about them is not smart, maybe proofread next time.

Well, Putin's oligarch gangsters also turned millions into billions. And then helped Trump in his only profitable business of laundering Russian mob rubles into dollar investments in the United States.

 

Are we supposed to admire?

Perhaps you haven’t been following the chain, but clearly you do not have a Great Notion of what we are talking about, and you made a lot of accusations involving money laundering with the Russian Mob.

I say you have no credible links to support your statements, or maybe we should just take your word for it!

I doubt it. This man I 100% BS no matter what he's talking about.

The evidence is there, amid the distraction.

 

Please tell us where you got your information to support these outlandish claims?

Don't believe it was trump being smart. More to do with Cambridge Analytica, recommended by the Mercer's along with Bannon and engaged by Kushner.

The usual fake news. It was not an investment by one of his companies, it was a donation. 

But don't let facts get in the way of a good story, right?

interesting to know how many of HIS relatives/friends/gang members/affiliated invested into Moderna laboratories

and now that he made that famous quote"Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine" the majority of the (""smart ones"" sarcastic meaning) will run to the pharmacy to buy some, prices will jump, wonder what's Trump interest on that brand name....when he instructed people to disinfect themselves by injecting disinfectant a couple of "smart ones" did and some died, let's see how many will do the same with the hydroxychloroquine..... a smart Potus would keep his mouth shut, I know , I know I am asking too much

I don't think that he's insane, and nobody hates the jerk more than me, but he is seriously delusional. And very dangerous because of the position that he holds, and abuses. Thankfully, change is the one constant in this universe that we infest. ????

This whole virus thing really shows people for who they are.

 

Dr. Justin Frank, retired George Washington University psychiatrist and author of "Trump on the Couch": Learning that a disproportionate number of black- and brown-skinned people are dying from the virus makes it easier for him to open up the economy, precisely because they wouldn't vote for him, are of no use to him, and are already objects of his malevolence. Just think about the Central Park Five or his derogatory comments about African countries. Donald Trump is his fathers's son, beloved by the Ku Klux Klan.

 

And then we've got Alex Azar, the HHS Czar -- I hate that word, czar, too much like imperial Russia.

 

"Unfortunately the American population is a very diverse — it is a population with significant unhealthy co-morbidities that do make many individuals in our communities, in particular African-American, minority communities, particularly at risk here because of significant underlying disease health disparities and disease co-morbidities and that is an unfortunate legacy in our health care system that we need to address."

 

Translated: "Dear black and brown people: COVID-19 is killing so many of you because you are fat and lazy. Deal with the problem yourselves. This is your own fault."

 

Wonderful, right? Some projections suggest that in June the daily death toll may approach or exceed 3,000 Americans — more people than were killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11, every single day. But this is a Democrat hoax. And it will miraculously end the day after the election, just ask Donny, Jr.

 

Twilight Zone doesn't have a candle on this.

Yes I am hoping that the change will be as a result of the side effects of hydroxychloroquine, obesity or the creeping dementia which is showing up. 

[jcsmith]

It seemed pretty obvious to me that he was lying when he said it. And given his doctor never said in his statement that Trump took them or he prescribed them explicitly I think that's a pretty clear indication that he was trying to back up Trump without lying himself. Just another tall tale from Trump.
