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.

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

Men will look at her in that clip, and see their bitter and vengeful ex-wives.

Just the opposite. Adams says, ‘ignore the content, just absorb the feeling.’ Engineers would analyze the content and miss the feeling.

As Gogeo noted, he's writing TO the engineers. Engineers' normal tendency is to analyze the content, so he needs to explicitly tell them to "absorb the feeling". This would not be necessary if he were addressing sociology majors.

‘Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?’ you might ask?” Clinton said.

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground.

>>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.

He writes FOR engineers but he writes ABOUT the sociology majors. Even the touchy-feelie types in my office recognize the Wally, Alice, PHB, Mordac, etc in the office.

I hate to sober everyone up but about half of this country works for the gov’t. and the another half gets “freebees” from the gov’t. Gov’t schools can not educate only brainwash. Everyone of us has to get out (especially in the swing states) and vote for the Trump revolution. It’s our only chance unless we want to deal with a “weekend at bernies” socialist for 8 years!

Likewise... I’m shocked that she would put that to video... that is a clip of a person who is desperate and rattled and it shows!

It doesn’t actually matter what she said because the content is routine and superfluous. What matters is that she looked like someone who was getting her clock cleaned.

It's over when Trump is sworn in as President. Until then, the election is wide open.

Voter fraud will be rampant. We did nothing about it in 2008 and 2012. Who thinks it will be challenged this year?

I sure hope he is right.

It is nice to see someone speaking his mind against Hillary and for Trump in the public arena.

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

I wouldn't think of staying home on election day.

But I might shoot the TV any minute now...

I’ve watched the Clinton clip twice now. First time, it looked like medical issues. She’s a bobble-head. Second time, I suspect she’s drunk.

“Who thinks it will be challenged this year? “

If there are places that show 100% or 120% for Hitlery, you can bet on it that Trump will not roll over.

He has asked us to sign up to be poll watchers but I know it is going to take more than that.

So my answer to your question is YES.

What matters is that she looked like someone who was getting her clock cleaned.

Years ago, SNL Had a routine with George HW Bush (Dana Carvey) debating Mike Dukakis (Jon Lovitz).

Bush stood up and said something totally incoherent. When he was done, Dukakis looked at the camera and said, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy." Big laugh line.

Hillary is losing to Trump. She knows it. She just can't believe it. For her, the world is totally turned on its head.

If you have been following Adam’s and his analysis he has stated consistently that people make most decisions based on irrationality rather than logic and facts.

He also said that it was not important who Trump’s running mate was as it did not matter.

As to Hillary he said it would matter and she ended up choosing a total dud.
