Not only did Trump win all of the swing states where Hillary was alleged to have a small margin, he won states like Wisconsin and Michigan that were declared "safe" for Hillary, and came within a percentage point or two of beating Hillary in states like Colorado.
I find it hard to believe that pollsters that did a relatively plausible job of predicting outcomes over the past several elections could have inadvertently failed so miserably this time around. The only other alternative is that the pollsters were intentionally distorting their data with models favoring the outcomes that they preferred. I more or less knew that this was so when they kept saying that Hillary was within a few points of Trump in Texas.

I have said that about polls and how they are created to result in a desired outcome. This time it backfired and BIG TIME. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
