Both, some of the most severe hurricanes had a relatively low death toll, but a very high dollar value in damage. Hard to not list that as a severe event. Sorry, misattribution.

Alternative facts again? ===================== Behind Trump’s victory: Divisions by race, gender, education By Alec Tyson and Shiva Maniam Nov 9 Pew Research In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980. ========================== Education, Not Income, Predicted Who Would Vote For Trump By Nate Silver Sometimes statistical analysis is tricky, and sometimes a finding just jumps off the page. Here’s one example of the latter. . . . . In short, it appears as though educational levels are the critical factor in predicting shifts in the vote between 2012 and 2016. You can come to that conclusion with a relatively simple analysis, like the one I’ve conducted above, or by using fancier methods. In a regression analysis at the county level, for instance, lower-income counties were no more likely to shift to Trump once you control for education levels. And although there’s more work to be done, these conclusions also appear to hold if you examine the data at a more granular level, like by precinct or among individual voters in panel surveys. ===================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,434 #80 April 24, 2017 Hi rush, QuoteThe less informed the voter, the more likely he is to vote for Trump. QuoteHow did it work out for her? You should really pay attention. I do believe that he was referring to voters, not the electoral college. Uh, who again got more actual votes than that other guy?

CygnusX-1 43 #81 April 25, 2017 QuoteUh, who again got more actual votes than that other guy? That is because there were 65,844,610 illegal votes cast for Clinton. If we throw all those out Trump won by a landslide. Get with the program, man... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,434 #84 April 25, 2017 Hi CygnusX-1, Quote65,844,610 illegal votes cast for Clinton I will never claim that I know all there is to know about any subject. However, everything that I have ever read ( except for some postings on here ) say that is not correct. What is/are your sources?

CygnusX-1 43 #86 April 26, 2017 Sources? I don't need sources. First of all I would not trust the data from the government run media or alternate right/left wing media. I did my own study and am my own source. And I will tell you again and this time with authority that these are the facts of the situation. If we throw out the 65,844,610 votes cast for Clinton, then Trump would have won by a landslide. So much so that it would be the greatest margin in US history. It would be a tremendous victory. Great, and stuff... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And all those Clinton votes - maybe all, some are saying all, at least one - are FRAUDULENT! And that's a real alternative FACT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
