Does democracy...

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial: Mike Pesca

one out of 128, right?

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial: Mike Pesca

It's one over two, 50% of the time times seven.

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial: Mike Pesca

So you say, wait, so then they were wrong when they said seven swing states were all a coin flip and they got them all wrong, but states and elections don't work like coin flips.

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial: Mike Pesca

Yeah, interesting.
