    But if you figure in his OPS+, his bin-Laden-adjusted WAR, and his rating for WHIP (White House Impeachment Protection), that 58% would be much higher.

    @RickStain is absolutely right, though ... we can't know whether the vote total Trump actually got in the election that was actually held would have been good enough in another election that might have been held under rules that might have obtained.

    I'm pretty sure Alabama would have won last Monday if the rule was that a lead is only valid if it's held for at least 10 seconds. Clemson only won because of a system weighted toward being ahead when the game clock reads 00:00. Phyllis (from Mulga) was going on and on about it, but I never could understand what she meant by "counter-fartual" so I tuned out ...

    Imagine how good those numbers would be if Republicans weren't always employing the shift.

    I've been trying to stay out of this thread for personal sanity reasons, but this was too much:

    During her confirmation hearing, Education Secretary-designate Betsy DeVos defended the placement of guns in schools for ... defense against grizzlies.

    And all this time, you thought the the Democrats were the ones trying to redefine the right to bear arms.
