By now, Freepers know that in August of 2015 I said Trump would win, and over the months-—long before he won the nomination-—I said “between 300 and 320 electoral votes.” Many of us were doing numbers, and I said Trump should get about 62m popular vote.

I didn’t think about this because Cankles had gotten such a lead in the popular vote, but sure enough, I looked at the numbers today and he’s right at 62m.

Now, I admit, later I hedged when it looked like Johnson and Stein would soak up larger shares. I always thought Trump would win the popular vote by 4%, no matter what the final total was. So I was really wrong about the popular vote total overall.

You only have to add the word "legal" (as in "legal popular vote") and I suspect you'll be pretty close to golden.

I was personally hoping for 343, but was very pleased with 306.

I remember you did call it but with the MSM touting cankle’s assured win it was hard to believe.

On election night I was out of town and my son spoke to me on the phone around 9pmEST saying the networks were pretty sure the beast had it in the bag. I went to my hotel room and prayed on my knees. I couldn’t believe it when I found out around midnight EST that Trump had won. I still kind of can’t believe it. I believe it truly was a miracle from God.

You were fine until CA weighed in.

In CA the Moronic White Liberals and the Illegal Mexican Socialists catapulted Hillary into the Popular Vote lead.
