I agree. Statistics can be manipulated to say what you want them to say. We saw the mainstream media do that to push the narrative that Hillary was going to win, to create the atmosphere of inevitability. Did I agree with Romney's 47% comment. Well, it was accurate statistically speaking. It probably was not a wise thing to say, if you are politician wanting to get a elected, though. Hillary made the same mistake with her "deplorables" comment. Those two comments, among other things, contributed to Romney and Hillary not getting elected. It's never a good idea to alienate such a large chunk of the voting population. Especially, when that chunk is the blue collar, middle to lower class, who have been consistently shafted economically over the last 15 years.
