Everybody was wrong. Again.
When Election Day dawned, almost all the pollsters, analytics nerds and political insiders in the country had Hillary Clinton waltzing into the White House.

I didn’t get it wrong!
Love the meme
All polls have ‘secret sauce’, which is inevitably based on turn out from past elections. When the turnout changes, the polls are worthless.
Hillary took more time listening to concerts then the American people. Also she spent time preparing to be president then working to be president.
They were based on polls. Polls are taken by calling landline phones. Everyone I know uses cell phones.
Excellent graphic.
Reading that article reinforced the idea that G-d arranged his election.
They aren’t talking about prayer either. Many of us prayed for Devine Intervention and we got it!
Depends on how you define ‘everyone,’ moron.
A couple weeks back, all of the Canadian media declared Hillary President....and now they are all shocked.
Walking around leftist stronghold in Toronto today - it looks like scenes from the Walking Dead out there.....hahahahaha.
This is just soooo beautiful.
EHH, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH! Time for the bitch to waddle home with her tail between her legs...
Which would be dismissed of Trump lost. Yet this will work against them if they begin headlining "Clinton won the popular vote." Yet which margin could likely be so small as to be within an acceptable margin of error.
Actually the “polls” may have been right. The national vote is essentially tied, with Hillary even slightly ahead. However, Trump won more states with narrow margins giving him an electoral win. Thank God for the wisdom of the founders, the Republic, and the electoral college system.
Aren’t you happy this whole crookedy snookedy schlookedy of the these two clintoons is over?
And NOT ONCE! did I ever hear or read (well perhaps in a minimal way) that if she did achieve the office that in effect it would be a Bill Clinton de facto presidency? even if she was inaugurated?.....
I swear I never heard THAT argument because I think pple were trying to be nice but it was very real in my mind whether Hitlery was in good or bad health it would have
been BOTH running the White House.
Yes and Kudos to the true believers here.
It might be the sample sizes, at least that must be the case with the state polls because they were ridiculously off. For instance I thought we would have done BETTER in FL and nowhere near as good obviously in PA and WI. Trump was nowhere close in the WI polls.
Question is was it incompetence or deliberate? And surely people putting real money at stake in the election bets didn’t make their bets based on the polls did they?
I would like to see the popular vote go his way by the end of counting, or we will never hear the end of it.
