    Default Trump has a 97 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton in the general election

    • Professor Helmut Norpoth’s statistical modeling gives Trump a 97 percent chance of beating Clinton in November - if he's the GOP nominee
    • He'd have an even better shot against Bernie Sanders - 99 percent
    • Norpoth's model has accurately predicted the winner of every national election since 1912, The Statesman reports, except the election of 1960
    • If either Rubio or Cruz were the GOP nominee, the model shows them losing to Clinton but winning against Sanders

    If a professor at Stony Brook University is correct, Donald J Trump will be the next President of the United States. Professor Helmut Norpoth’s statistical modeling gives Trump with a 97 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton in the general election. He'd have an even better shot against Bernie Sanders - 99 percent.


    'The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president,' Norpoth told Stony Brook's school newspaper, The Statesman, 'if he’s a nominee of the [Republican] party.'


    Professor Helmut Norpoth’s statistical modeling shows that Trump has a 97 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton in the general election

    How is it plagiarism if he gave the link and didn't take credit for the story?

    Any kind of nuance eludes you.
    No sense of humor, sarcasm or irony whatsoever.
    You are a black or white, all or nothing concrete thinking judgemental child.

    You, by contrast, are a fucking idiot that is rightly treated with utter contempt by all salient beings.

    When you cite a news story to a blog or messageboard and give the link, it is not any kind of plagiarism you ignorant tool. It is called fair use.

    Did you graduate high school?

    It's convention to signify other people's comments by means of quotation marks or the use of the ' quote ' box. Not doing so implies that the OP is the author of the text- and he ain't. His own comments don't exist.

    Thank you. I shall call it sandwich-board journalism on behalf of the Daily Mail.

    Copying the text and citing link is what constitutes fair use. His comments do not need to exist if he is sharing the story with a link to the original story.

    Only to numbnuts like you, I doubt that you will be surprised to know that you are the first to say that in over a decade of my posting to boards. So kindly shut the fuck up, there's a good boy!
