The MSM by trying to HELP Hillary ended up HURTING her by giving positive reinforcement to the weaknesses of her campaign. LOL!!!

[MuttTheHoople]

Hillary was so overconfident that the fix was in in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, she didn’t even campaign there much. She DID campaign in States that weren’t in play because she didn’t want to lose the popular vote.

[Terry Mross]

B.S.! Michael Moore warned them in plenty of time.

[gubamyster]

OK, now it is the MSM’s fault Hillary lost. So far it has be everybody’s fault except Hillary’s.

Who listens to these so-called experts anymore?

[Red Steel]

Silver a liberal buffoon.

[C210N]

Backing up a few months, to spring/early-summer 2016, Trump was in the single digits. The LSM reasoned that with Canky such a baggage-laden candidate, they'd get, in their (small) minds, the weakest R candidate. So, they gave Trump 90%+ of their R air-time, operation suck-the-oxygen-out-of-the-room for all the other candidates. Trump was the "joke" candidate. Go to youtube, and find numerous examples of ridicule - like Coulter's "If the election were held today, Donald Trump"... "". Well, the MSM created Trump the monster, and the rest is history. Thank goodness for Trump, and the great stuff he has done already. But, all the same, FU LSM.

First election in Wisconsin requiring photo ID and Hillary never visited. Hello President Trump

[Flick Lives]

I weren’t we just told it was the Russians.

[rllngrk33]

The liberals, with the help of the media, believed their own propaganda and didn't work as hard as Trump.

Trump was having rallies almost daily at two or three different locations. Hillary was having one rally once a week at best.

Attendance at rallies was also a factor. Trump filled arenas with 20-30K people at a time. Hillary couldn't fill a high school gymnasium.

[Henchster]

What a bunch of BS. If the MSM hadn’t been covering for Hillary’s crimes, incompetence, poor health, greed and lies 24/7, she would have been screaming “Why am I behind by 50 points!?” instead of coming just a few states short of absolute power.

[gaijin]

Her last night:

Hit a gay bar in Miami, there were maybe 15 people who showed up. The photos were sad even to a Hillary hater.

The Donald: He flew to maybe FOUR different states in ONE night..?

The woman seemed BENT on losing.

[sargon]

What a crock. The fact is, the MSM did everything in their power to tear down Donald Trump, and prop up Hillary, and, even in the face of the most vicious campaign of character assassination the world has ever seen, they were still unable to thwart the will of the American People.

The only thing the MSM accomplished was to somewhat blunt Donald Trump's electoral landslide.

But make no mistake. The Esatblishment and Media (but I repeat myself) did everything humanly possible to destroy Donald Trump and install Hillary in the White House, and they almost succeeded.

Even though their power is waning, and now stands repudiated and in tatters (just like their reputation), the MSM still proved to be formidable, inasmuch as they were nearly successful at their coup attempt, despite the Peoples' enthusiasm...

[Impala64ssa]

The bottom line, Her Heinous lost because enough people realized that she's more full of shiite than every port a potty on Daytona Beach at the end of Bike Week. ba da TSSS!

[Billthedrill]

Broadly speaking I agree with Silver here - what you lose when you weaponize the polls is their ability to warn you about negative trends in time to address them, specifically in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. And what you lose when you weaponize the media is their function to honestly reflect what your campaign looks like to the undecided voter. Understand though that these were the fault of neither the pollsters or the media, they were the fault of a campaign staff too imbued with its own sense of inevitability to recognize the warning signs, or a candidate similarly besotted who overruled any warning from her staff. I don't know which of the latter it was, perhaps both.

But Trump's campaign wasn't anything spectacularly original, in fact, it was entirely old-school: rallies and speeches that blew the top off the arenas. Hillary was playing it "smart" in the meantime: her campaign was focused on milking money from wealthy donors and to hell with the unwashed, they'd just come around. Only they didn't. And the upshot was those bathetic scenes of shocked Hillary acolytes watching the returns in the arena, their candidate ensconced in a five-star hotel room, far too engaged in an alcoholic stupor to connect with the voter as she had been all along. A sordid end to a sordid and unworthy campaign, and the end of any "inevitability" illusions.

[Jim from C-Town]

Nate Silver now estimates that Hillary Clinton has a 73.4% chance of winning the White House last November.

[boycott]

Hillary setting on her lazy ass is the main reason she lost.

[Always A Marine]

I believe this truly is part of the reason Trump beat the odds and won. All conventional wisdom was confounded and none of the old strategies worked. Throughout the primaries and the Fall campaign, everything that had to go right for Trump did. Everything that once worked against conservative and outside candidates failed. Everyone who stood against Trump was knocked down, often in the same manner as they would have felled him. To what end only time will tell, but it was the hand of God that put Donald Trump in office.

[Rusty0604]

And I thought somehow Putin had hacked into her campaign schedule.

[MHT]

I will always think that the two campaigns were working with internals that were closer to reality than the MSM provided. First, why did Hillary cancel her fireworks show a couple of days before the election if she was so sure it was hers? Secondly, I believe Trump’s internals showed that he could take MI if he did more in Grand Rapids. He changed his last stop from WI to MI and had just under 20K people waiting in an airport hangar for him at 1 AM in cold weather. THAT is support! Both had working internals that knew the real story, not the MSM. The press NEVER understood those Trump rallies (the modern whistle-stop campaign)and all those people willing to walk through muck just to see the man. That effort was NEVER built into the polls and many of those folks were first-time voters so never on a polling list.

[MNDude]

I kept trolling Nate on Twitter by pretending to be am angry liberal. I kept posting “Nate, this is ALL YOUR FAULT!! You made everyone have a fake sense of security!”

Maybe he took it to heart.
