How to Know an Election is Over (Dilbert)
Dilbert ^ | 9/12216 | Scott Adams

Posted on 09/22/2016 9:29:26 AM PDT by Be Careful

In the 3D world of persuasion, however, the election is already over. There is still some mystery about how large the margin will be, but Trump is already the President of the United States unless something big happens in the next few weeks. How do I know that?

Listen to this clip in which Clinton asks why she isn’t leading by 50 points. Ignore the content of what she says, because no one cares about content. Just feel it.

And see the future.

It ain't over 'til it's over.
Don't think for a second it's safe to stay home on election day.

Scott Adams writes in a rational world, people go along with the facts and an objective evaluation of reality before arriving at a decision.

In reality, people are swayed far more by their feelings and going along with the flow in making a decision.

The latter favors Trump.

Yeah they will pull out every stop to steal this thing.
It’s life or death for the Clinton Crime Family.

She really looks like hell in that clip...turkey wattle neck and bouncy crazy eyes and all...

Adams is right about it being more than polls and data. People want to elect a winner and the choice in that regard could not be clearer. A lifetime of success vs. a lifetime of failure and deceipt. It’s just a shame our two-party system constrains so many people to vote the party without using their brain.

I hate to say it, but Scott Adams writes for a nation with the mindset of engineers, when actually we have a nation with the mindset of sociology majors.

People don’t care as much about content as they do about context.

Seen from the latter perspective, nothing has gone right for Hillary.

People are looking to Trump because in context, he is the stronger candidate.

Facts may be stubborn things but the environment is even more of an influence upon people than the facts are.

I’ve heard a lot about the Hillary clip asking why she isn’t 50 points ahead. I haven’t actually seen it until now. Wow. She is just awful.

Hoping this guy isn’t the Dick Morris of 2016.

Scott Adams is slipping.

His blogs are generally good and thought provoking. This time he pout out something that is weak and boring.

Remember his prediction that Trump's VP pick would be Scott Brown? Whatever happened on that one.

Adams is trying to sell his book. And in that sound a lot like Dick Morris.

We have a nation of weak-minded fools. Such people are ripe for persuasion. Scott Adams understands persuasion and that's why he knows Trump will win.

You’re talking with your feelings not taking note of what Hillary actually said.

You’ve made Adams’ point for him.

Warning! I accidentally hit full screen on that clip. I quickly resized the screen but it was too late, the image is now stuck in my head like a bad taste that wont go away. Whatever you do avoid doing that at all costs.

Isn’t it wonderful that most engineers are R? It’s their common sense - straight line equals shortest distance kind of sense.

This is not a normal election.

To have said three years ago that Jeb Bush was not going to win a single victory in the primary would have shocked everyone. To have the Cuban brothers (Cruz and Rubio) fall by the wayside in the manner that they did....was totally unexpected. For Trump to just keep saying things that would typically get Republicans in trouble but it kept working....is a shock.

To look at the 20-odd mistakes that Hillary has made and realize that she really can’t come back now. It’s all a surprise.

In a rational world....you want to find simple basic facts which don’t fall apart, and Trump has produced at least a dozen of such facts. Hillary? Just about everything presented so far....falls apart.

“People don’t care as much about content as they do about context.”

That deserves repeating.

Despite how lousy McCain and Romney were, this is why we have had to endure 8 years of Obama.
