“In the state of Texas, we have Hillary Clinton up by 1% with 0.5% of the votes counted, and ABC is now projecting Hillary Clinton as the winner in Texas!!! Meanwhile, in Florida, Donald Trump is ahead by 10 points with just over 50% of the votes counted, leaving that race too close to call!”

The LSM is going down week to week and day to day. There’s nothing they can do to get back what they lost. They’re finished. Long Live the New Media!

"The pain of getting it wrong in this environment would be very long-lasting."

So we will do whatever we have to do to make sure that the election results match our predictions.

The margin of fraud just went up.
