Interesting article from Science Daily. If this is true, progressives are not nor have ever been babies.

What's the probability they will succeed in their little coup?
As of right now, I'd go 50/50. They're easily halfway there...

What's the probability their efforts will continue to backfire?
Well, considering the 'progress' they've already made, I'd think a backfire is inevitable, but the effort still makes ground.

What's the probability they will quit underestimating Trump? More importantly, will they quit underestimating us?
They've been pretty successful up to now, underestimation doesn't seem to be an ongoing issue. I'd say they're probably calling it how it is, but that might change if the American people actually start to 'grow a pair'.

Are they overestimating themselves? Again, look at previous successes and 'put a number on it'. All they have to do is yell 'racist' and all opposition to their agenda collapses in the rush to apologize.

What's the probability they'll switch from character assassination to issues?
Why should they? Character assassination seems to be working just fine. Don't fix what ain't broke, right?

What's the probability they'll wake up before 2018?
The vast majority of decent people in the US are so dumbed-down and glued to their TV sets they have no idea what's going on in the world around them. you can scream it from the rooftops and they won't hear it. Just ask Ron Paul.

Good for you. PS... Wakey-wakey!

I could pose a gazillion other probability questions, but you get the drift.
Probabilities are heavily dependent on statistics, and you know the old maxim about that. There's lies, there's damn lies, and then there's... statistics. At the root of all of this is the idea that the American people can be controlled by misinformation on a massive scale. Looking around me, I'd agree with that idea. The probability that America wakes up and smells the coffee goes up exponentially when they turn off the TV and look around them. (Americans. Turning off the TV. Ha! Now there's a statistical improbability.)
Here's a little exercise that will highlight the American problem quite clearly. Just ask any random group of American voters how many candidates for US president were registered in the 2016 election cycle. How many did they choose from while standing in the election booth. I guarantee the answer will not be accurate. Absolutely. Cast-iron. Guarantee. They will be way off.
