Here's a good chuckle. Obama campaign guru David Plouffe explaining that there's no scenario Trump can use to get to 270 electoral votes (he actually got 306).

Notice how they had Georgia as blue even though it seemed a reliable part of the "Solid South". The most telling moment was when Plouffe-ball took the northern midwest states as a given, dismissing them as saying "We (Obama) hardly had to campaign there." Now we know where Hillary's people got the idea to ignore those states.

Plouffe said Trump was too lazy to be president. At the time, I dismissed Plouffe as an ahole.

We can rightfully poo poo all of the pundits who got the outcome of 2016 election wrong. Yet remember how razor thin (80,000 voters?) the margin was in four states that created the pathway to 270.

Next time he will get to at least 370. And that’s when the REAL fun starts.

He finished college by correspondence in 2012. Got a job at Uber now works at some Zuckerberg non-profit phony company.

Bought a house for $17 million in San Francisco in 2016.

That was the miracle.

I occasionally bring up with my wife that the population of less than ten small towns saved this country, to this day.

First of all when I hear Latino vote, I think illegal vote. Secondly this guy could not stand still, that tells me he is a shifty character. Also he is a lousy loser pollster.

David Plouffe and Robby Mook, what a pair of dingbats.They should go on tour as Plouffe and Mook, dingbats who stole your money.

Yes, but this guy wasn’t saying it was difficult or unlikely or could be close. He was saying Trump winning these states was impossible - zero chance, by any margin, under any scenario. He’s an idiot.

Meanwhile, Madcow was saying, “even if Trump gets all the tossup states... all the tossups, every single one... even if he gets all the tossup states... and nobody ever gets ALL the tossup states... nobody EVER does that... but even if Trump somehow pulls off a miracle and gets ALL the tossup states... he still won’t have enough to win..”

Sorry...you aren't a pundit...

Well, after what Plouffe said, and the actual results in Pennsylvania, he is now on record as believing in the Easter Bunny.

Good analysis on his part.There's no way in hell DJT could carry FL...NC...PA...OH...MI...IN...WI...IA.

Or the Second Congressional District of Maine.

I agree. I want to go back to the days of loosing and high unemployment. Winning sucks. Orangeman bad. Dumbass plugs good!
