Up until about 11:00 on election night, they were still certain Hillary had it in the bag.
The smugness was sweet to see washed off their faces in the early hours of the new day.
Actually, it was a little earlier - right about 9:30 EST.
I took a screen cap, because it’s a thing of beauty. Up until about 9:00, the NYT had Trump about 20% and Hillary > 80% chance of winning. Then, as results come in, Trump’s percentages skyrocket and Hillary’s bottom out, until by 11:00 it’s 95% Trump, 5% Clinton. At that point, it must have been clear to the media that this was, indeed, their worst nightmare come to life.
Wonderful moment - and one they’re sure to do ANYTHING to avoid next time around by cheating and lying any way they possibly can.
