It could go either way? It might be close, or maybe not?

Imagine taking any of that seriously. Didn't they give Hillary an 80% chance?

How could Hillary lose if she had an 80% chance? That seems impossible (if i'm bad at math)!
For real, 80% is effectively coin flip territory for me. I wouldn't put any important bets on 80%, for the same reason I don't play Russian roulette.
Why wouldn't you take it seriously? "Could go either way" is a perfectly reasonable prediction based on the polls that we all were seeing.
Imagine being such a condescending douche…and an ignorant one to boot.
