Here, tec, I'll lay it out for you.

This is an appeal to authority:

My opinion is X. I'm right because Y agrees with me.

Example: Edgar Martinez doesn't belong in the hall and the BBWAA voters agree.

This is not an appeal to authority:

My opinion is X. Here is evidence.

Example: Rasmussen polls are bad. Here is a link to times when the Rasmussen poll was very wrong.

Well, there's a big ole LOGIC FAIL.  No surprise here.

Was I saying "I'm right because the BBWAA agrees with me"?

All I did was give you an example. As far as I know, no one has mentioned the BBWAA in this thread.

Way to back off from your stupidity.

He'll come back and double down on his stupidity.   He always does.

What did I back off of?

You're the one that came into this thread accusing me of appealing to authority.

Fox News decided to give a small hour long debate to the the candidates outside of the top 10.

So with 17 candidates we'll get Trump, Bush, Walker, Rubio, Paul, Huckabee, Carson, and Cruz for sure.

Christie, Kasich, Perry, and Santorum are either in or out depending on polls used. Two of them get in.

Jindal, Fiorina, Pataki, Graham, and Gilmore are out. Gilmore may not even get into the small debate.

6 days away!

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Maybe it should have been a tip-off that the two 20-somethings were so overly excited to meet Scott Walker. Like dramatically excited. The young woman was literally bouncing with excitement. And the young man had a homemade sign declaring that the Republican governor should become president.

As Scott Walker smiled and put his arms around Tyler McFarland, 23, and Giselle Hart, 20, the sign flipped. Suddenly Walker was posing with a fake, game-show-style check made out to him from the billionaire Koch brothers, Charles Koch and David Koch, who plan to spend $889 million on the upcoming election.

That's clever.

Who are the Koch brothers?

Christie and Kasich make it in. Perry's glasses didn't help him and Santorum is ****** he didn't make it in.

I'm making a prediction that Lindsey Graham is the first candidate to drop out.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

CUE THE BOZO THEME SONG!
