    Excellent summary from David Frum.

    Choosing a president isn’t easy in this election, but here are three ways a principled conservative might vote.

              Someone tweeted after Trump's big win in Florida in the primaries that the Baby Boomers had figured yet another way to screw the rest of us.

              Old people LOVE Trump, they were reliable voters for him in the primaries. Wasn't there a Utah poll from a few weeks ago that broke down things down by age and the people in Utah 65 and older still loved Trump?
              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    You do realize that you have to oversample smaller populations in order to get an accurate representation of that population?

                      So by "smaller populations" you mean places like Florida?...



                      For Florida, the report recommends "consistently monitoring" samples to makes sure they're "not too old" and "has enough African American and Hispanic voters." Meanwhile, "independent" voters in Tampa and Orlando are apparently more dem friendly so the report suggests filling up independent quotas in those cities first.

                              Ha!

                              If you aren't sure where you fit in his description of voters, we are rapidly approaching the point where, in Utah at least, a vote for McMullin IS a vote for Hillary. She won't win Utah. But you can keep Trump from doing so.
