I don’t disagree - it’s just that *where* he campaigned was so spot on, so precise, I had wondered what technologies they might have been using. It was clear to me it wasn’t normal. He hit Sterling Heights, MI, late in the run, a place with a HUGE Iraqi Christian population. An area that has had assemblies and marches about the genocide of Christians in the ME, where there are large blood red crosses in peoples yards and “Save Iraqi Christian” bumper stickers EVERYWHERE. The county flipped red. It was THE place to have a rally (at a place called “Freedom Hill” no less!).

I remember thinking it was genius. He also hit other areas in southeast Michigan and on the west side. The state flipped, to the shock of many but it really didn’t surprise me.

Yes, he worked so much harder than Hillary, I was a bit shocked at that....but his team worked very smart and I’m pretty sure they were using new techniques.

They have to remember that there is no intelligence in “artificial intelligence” at its base, most of that stuff is just a bunch of statistics.

Like most of the polls before election day, garbage in, garbage out.

AI is just not ready. IBM has Watson https://www.ibm.com/watson/
But I’ve not heard that it could do anything like what this article suggests

Mostly it’s a retarded teenager at this stage

Obama used data analytics to great advantage in both of his elections.

I’m glad to have someone on our side who knows how to fight back.

Hillary had an AI named Ava. When its predictions didn’t jibe with their preconceptions, they ignored it and tweaked its algorithms. A search using ‘Ava’ “AI’ and ‘Clinton campaign’ should find the relevant articles.

Did Trump use extraterrestrial technology to win the election? Ancient astronaut theorist say “YES”.
