Framing

Also, I like to remember that story about statistics.  It went something like this. 

If you were told a medical procedure had a 25% chance of killing you,  would you do it?

What about a 75% success rate?

It's the same data, just framed differently. So all those polls about how Trump won 63.9% (so far) of the Republican primary voters?

Also means 36.1% didn't vote for him, even though he's a former president with a lock on the party.

But sure, continue acting like that oathbreaking disaster is just another candidate. Whatever.  I don't like saying it's impossible for anything to change my mind on how to vote,  but there would have be something on the level of the crap Trump has already done for me to reconsider.
