Nate Silver says we should stop freaking out about the number of Trump supporters and put it in perspective.

In a column titled “Dear Media, Stop Freaking Out About Donald Trump’s Polls,” Silver reminded political reporters and pundits that the number of people currently supporting Trump are still, percentage-wise, roughly equivalent to the number of Americans who believe that the Apollo moon landings were faked.

“Right now, he has 25 to 30 percent of the vote in polls among the roughly 25 percent of Americans who identify as Republican. (That’s something like 6 to 8 percent of the electorate overall, or about the same share of people whothink the Apollo moon landings were faked),” wrote Silver.

He continued, “As the rest of the field consolidates around him, Trump will need to gain additional support to win the nomination. That might not be easy, since some  Trump actions that appeal to a faction of the Republican electorate mayalienate the rest of it. Trump’s favorability ratings are middling among Republicans (and awful among the broader electorate).”

    I suspect that a Venn Diagram would show a strong overlap between these two groups of people.

    In perspective, I would like to call the Trump campaign a conspiracy. I believe that Trump is actually an agent of evil aliens from the moon bent on taking over our government. For the expressed purpose of………stealing our brains and drinking our liquor.

        Ooooohhhh… I am mortally wounded! Some random shlub on the interwebs called me “retard.” And it gave me orders too! How butch!

        And you are still hanging around on Google +??? However will I be able to hold my own against somebody who shows the brilliance of that devastating insult – “retard” – AND is on the veritable cutting edge of the intertubes!

        I’ll get back to you. There are many years of watching grass grown and paint dry that I have WAAAAY ahead of you on the priorities list. Debating shlubs who insult me and orders me around is neck-and-neck with getting a penectomy.

        Oh, yeah – LOL…
