“””But that’s not how it was then. When FBI director Comey and the FBI dropped their late October Anthony Weiner surprise, they did so fully confident that Hillary Clinton would win....”””
I question the author’s premise.
What we knew in the days before the 2016 election is that Trump was consistently getting 10,000 to 20,000 or more enthusiastic supporters to his rallies.
Meanwhile, Hillary would attend a rally with 500 unenthusiastic supporters.
Hillary’s past scandals and her 9/11 Parkinsonian Collapse were already baked into the cake and Comey’s Weiner Surprise probably had no impact on the 2016 vote.
I question the author’s premise.
The NY detectives were about to spring this wide open. Comey came out to contain it. He would not have let this out otherwise.
Another heaven sent event, because, I think it DID make a difference, ie the truth coming out on Hillary. It turned just enough people in some key states to give Trump the victory.
“I question the author’s premise.”

I don’t question it. I knew that massive election fraud would ensure her win. The shock was that the fraud committed could not overwhelm the turn out supporting Trump. I still remember that morning like it was yesterday. I waited until late morning to read the news and kept the tv set off because I didn’t want to see her sh*t-eating grin all over the media outlets. I could not believe that Trump had won. It was the third happiest day of my life.
You’re conveniently forgetting that every Poll taken in the entire universe predicted a giant win for Clinton.
They believed rallies and votes had nothing to do with it. The fix was in. It could be some of the “fixers” got cold feet when Hillary said “If Trump wins we’re all going to jail.”
