Coffee thoughts on polling: (branding a new segment: tweets while I finish my 2nd morning iced coffee)
- For the last two years (at least) we have seen that polling has been WIDELY OFF from actual results. Why?
Part of it is methodology: sample size and sample demographic (1/x)

I've tweeted this story before, but feel like it's relevant again:
When I was working for NBC and they hired Megyn Kelly I publicly stated that I thought it was a huge mistake bc I believed Megyn was a racist and had made racist statements. NBC brass hauled me into an HR meeting
NBC HR admonished me and said I "wasn't being a team player and was making them look bad." I said, "You're making yourself look bad with this hire, if I had tweeted or said some of the things Megyn has said, would you still hire me?"
