    Probably the guy promoting LePen and posting AltRight prop videos.

    Oh I forgot it's about securing the Border... sure.

    Have fun with your thread bro. You deserve it to yourself.

    Go take an economics class. You are welcome to concede for lack of an actual argument. Hey, I'm sure your mom thinks your smart.

    Obama just endorsed Macron. It didn't work with Brexit but he is giving it the ol' college try once again.

    Obama's endorsements are on Bholic's level, they just never pan out.

    This is only true if you ignore the ones that do. In which case it's true of everyone.

    Did not realize Macon was probably smashing his teacher when he was 15, Brigitte Macron is his high school teacher and 24 year his senior. The anti Trump for sure.

    Yes, how many of high school boys wished they could do the same thing? Oh his wife did not have to go to jail for this. :)

    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/le-pen-is-just-a-gargantuan-polling-error-behind-macron/

    Look these are the best of the best for analytical predictions. They are wrong sometimes of course, but I don't think LePen hopefuls realize how big of a win it would be this Sunday based on the polling data. You guys don't realize how little the polls were off in the Trump/Clinton election vs. how much they would have to be off for this one.

    Also....

    Trump/LePen fans are so stupid. Sorry... you guys are sensitive insecure fools. Just because a poll predicts & the data shows YOUR GUY/GIRL is likely to lose doesn't mean you are promoting someone else over "Your guy". You idiots look at politics now like Barkley and Shaq TNT predicting the Thunder winning over the Rockets as an insult that you have to defend.

    Its not "FakeData". If you think it is wrong because it makes you feel less emboldened that "your guy" is not favored then provide your "Alternate Data" and debate the merits.

    Must have been a legacy admissions guy with a 'business administration' degree...

    or he's just playing shitck and none of his posts are sincere...

    Does Rice do legacy admissions?

    Every top university does this, you will not turn down big money for principles, which I agree with because life isn't fair.

    MIT doesn't. Most elite tech schools don't. Many schools don't do legacy admissions for certain majors like engineering.
