Top forecaster changes call: Race no longer ‘over’
The Hill ^ | 11/05/2016 | Johnathan Swan

Posted on 11/05/2016 10:26:32 AM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Influential election forecaster Charlie Cook is backing off his call that the presidential race is “over.”

Cook, the publisher of the Cook Political Report, made headlines last month when he tweeted: “Take a close look at the new Fox News poll released tonight. This race is OVER.”

Mad scramble at this point to try to salvage ANY post election credibility. They are correct in thinking most of the public is too stupid to see through their scam, but we, at least, are too smart to ever trust trust the political-media cabal again.

“Influential election forecaster Charlie Cook”

Influential, really? With whom? Anyone who matters, like the voters? Does Cook’s “influence” cause voters to change their minds? Or is this “influence” something that only influences talking heads to twist their yammering dial from one kind of yammer to another kind of yammer?

"The very first election I ever voted in was the Reagan/Carter election 1980 and this one reeks of that, I think Trump is going to obliterate cankles!"

Thanks to Travis McGee.

leftist “reasoning” and “science” at it’s self-serving best.

that is, continuously change your results to fit the most recently expected outcome.

Six Months of Corporate Media Gaslighting Collapses in Next 72 Hours….

Posted on  by 

 


There is always a specific inflexion point when the media narrative runs into reality.  Within that tenuous ideological orbit, corporate interests attempt to obfuscate their retreat to safe places.

NEVER forget what the media has done in the past sixteen months.

Over the course of the next 72 hours we will see the corporate media begin positioning themselves to retain some semblance of post-election credibility.

“If he was basing his earlier call on the Fox News Poll, then he was an incompetent imbecile to begin with.”

Indeed. Has FNC changed pink-leans-Republican Texas to solid red yet?

My opinion is that Hillary will win the Presidency by a snout and two trotters (~3%).

I just hope we can hold the Senate.

I’ve seen his ads and I’m confident Marco Rubio can hold his seat.

Has it ever occurred to them that the Fox fans they are polling are deliberately throwing the polls? Fox is pretty much the only media outlet always showing hillary ahead.

This article references the news about Trump trailing Romney in NV early vote that is getting censored here. That will significantly narrow Trump's potential paths to victory if true.

Early vote totals suggest Nevada is slipping from Trump’s reach, despite his strength in the polls, according to top Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston.

I think it also all depends on the level of corruption we now have. Julian Assange gave an interview, if you have the time to watch this, where he said “Trump won’t be permitted to win” which is quite possible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ7lYRnF1F8

Right now the US government is the most corrupt it’s ever been, but is that corruption deep enough to thwart a Presidential election? In the past day alone I’ve read of 3 reports of voter fraud, one in Broward county Florida, one in Pennsylvania, and one in California. And those are just the ones that have been exposed. It would not surprise me in the least, in the LEAST if this administration along with the justice dept, the Hillary campaign has a scheme that they’ve been planning all year.

I’ll tell you one thing though, if she does win, I know it will be from voter fraud. I’m from New York city, one of the most liberal cities in the country, I know a lot of Democrats. TWO said they are voting for Hillary, the rest said they refuse to vote for Hillary or said they will vote for Trump. There is NO freakin’ way this b*tch can win legit, no way especially with this info that she took money from the Saudis knowing full well they were funding ISIS as well.

One of my leftists cousins posted a link to a video today that predicts that Hillary wins in a landslide. I pointed out that the video was made on September 1. Her response was, “nothing has changed since then.”

And WE’RE the ones who are living in the past??

Some prognosticator. This has been known for a while now. Hillary has lost NC and FL and is in the process of losing CO, NV, and NH. She’s toast. Could MI and PA be far behind?

I don’t care if the pollsters tried to regain credibility by showing a tight race. If Trump wins, they and the media have lost all credibility.
