Different now. Kids that would never go near a cig will smoke pot whenever they can. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

And we thank the gods for that. Seriously. My kid ever smokes pot, we're having a long talk. A cig, and he'll have a hefty dental bill and I'll be in jail =p I kid, but not by much. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

He'll steal a pack of yours and try it, all kids do. How do you think you got started. Used to steal my dads Pall Mall's all the time, he was a 4 pack a day man. Filterless, that's the way to go. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

From me I stand by my thought, people who use more drugs are open to try more drugs, and pot smokers hang around each other. Becomes a game of "try this new stuff." Most folk do not consider beer or smokes "drugs" no matter what the technical definition is. The President is a fink. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | These people have predicted every presidential election correctly since 1988. An amazing track record. They can find no reason why they would be wrong this time. "Alan Abramowitz’s “Time for Change” model done for the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics “Crystal Ball” shows Trump winning 51.4 percent to 48.6 percent for Hillary Clinton." http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/ I also saw an unofficial pool done by 20 graduate students. They called 1000 voters in each of 50 states, 1/3 were Dems, 1/3 were Repub, 1/3 were Ind. They got 70% Trump, 30% Hillary. Just sayin. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

EB, did you read the article? A lot of the article explained why the model wont work this time. This isn't your average repub candidate giving the same boring speech stop after stop. its Trump going off the rails. The last sentence in the article "Therefore, despite the prediction of the Time for Change model, Clinton should probably be considered a strong favorite to win the 2016 presidential election as suggested by the results of recent national and state polls" lol I am still giddy giddy up Oddsmakers had Trump moving up to 2 to 1 range during the Republican convention His odds have now moved down into the 3 to 1 range http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics/us-presidential-election-2016/winner Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

The model says Trump will win, the model has been right since 1988 when it began. Who cares what their opinion of the model is, it has nothing to do with anything. Sabato is a left leaning Lib, he tries to hide it. Last year he said Trump had zero chance of being nominated. In May of the this year he said Hillary would crush Trump with over 55% of the vote. Now, when he has to apply his never wrong model to the race, he squeals like a little Lib piggy at the results of his own model. Very humorous. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | It looks like they're pointing out that the model no longer fits the current conditions In other words, it doesn't model it. If it isn't an accurate model of the current situation, then it doesn't matter what the model says. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
