Trump’s path to an electoral college victory isn’t narrow. It’s nonexistent. [flashback]
Washington Post ^ | October 18, 2016 | Stuart Rothenberg

It would be a mistake to call Trump’s current path to an electoral-college victory narrow. It is nonexistent. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, once part of the Trump scenario, have never been “in play,”

Give the guy credit—Rothenberg sounds very convincing when he lies!

He should have gotten a day job as a salesman.

This is why the democrats remain deluded that the Ruskies must have stolen the election. Trump could not have won. Nobody they know voted for him.

Some pollsters can be trusted. Others not so much. Hillary trusted hers even though their job was spin rather than data.

Pennsylvania (Trump by 0.72%), Michigan (Trump by 0.23%), and Wisconsin (Trump by 0.77%), might have been “in play,” but Hillary’s campaign maps were hacked by the Russians. She couldn’t even find two of those states, so she couldn’t campaign in them. In Pennsylvania, once normal people saw her at those tiny rallies, they were reliable Trump voters.

According to the post-election book “Shattered”, the Clinton campaign did not have their own pollster. They relied on media polls, most of them national polls. They had no idea what was going on in Wisconsin, Michigan, western Pennsylvania. Which is why she did not bother to campaign in those places. She was incompetent.

Public pollsters pretty much by definition are there to mold public opinion, not objectively measure it.

Overconfidence came back and bit the Democrats big time in 2016. It won’t happen again in 2020.

The confidence the Democrats and their biased media have in their pundits and pollsters is going to serve them poorly once again, Just like the “Rothenberg, etc.” moron polling relative the 2016 POTUS race was far off the mark and dead wrong....the Democrat Party, who is now having political orgasms over the “immigration” laws regarding illegal parents & children legal status, etc. will be proved dead wrong, just as they were in the Trump POTUS race, the Stormy Daniels, sex farce, their supposed Blue Wave and Obama becoming once again the Democrat Party leader and savior of the 2018 Mid-Term elections.

At the end of the day POTUS, Donald J. Trump will prevail and once again, win!!! The bonding of the Democrat Party and the “Never Trumpers” re: the Bushies, McCain, Corker, etc. will go nowhere. Why? The overwhelming number of Americans see right through it, just as they did relative to choosing Trump over failed, Hillary Clinton.

Yes....we have a problem that can easily be solved by our legislators, both Democrats & Republicans & POTUS, Trump.
Instead of shouting like the buffoons these Trump haters are, whoever they may be....get to work, congress critters and do your freaking job protecting our borders and country before you push us into be an uncontrolled third world country....where the elites like the Obama’s & Bushie’s & Clinton’s live in Fortress mansions walled in with armed guards all over their residence grounds...while us peons are exposed to murder, rape, illegal traffic of young girls, drugs, crime, abuse, etc. Welcome to the America!!!

Side Bar Info: Support and Attend the POTUS, Donald J. Trump Political Rally being held tomorrow (Wednesday) evening June 20th in Duluth, Minnesota. Two free tickets available on the “Trump For POTUS” web site. Be there or be nowhere.

Here's an extension for Firefox that allows bypass of many paywalls, including the Washington Compost. I don't know if there's a version for other browsers. It works great.

In the end, he was one of Trump’s big ENABLERS - telling the Leftists, who never liked Hillary much, that it was ok to stay home - she was going to win in a landslide regardless.

Trump’s people were more fired up, and although they probably believed the same, as I did, that Trump would lose, but we still wanted to SEND A MESSAGE by voting for him - and so we did.

So thank you Stu, and the others - we have a GREAT PRESIDENT thanks in large part to you guys helping to suppress Hillary’s vote.
