Lester Holt (NBC) 12:01 a.m. 11/9:
“Republicans watching their candidate defy the polls . . .
“the electoral map ... a sea of red - but smatterings of blue, and states that count..”
(Trump 244 to 209 Clinton)
Chuck Todd:
“The miss on Trump is far and wide. It’s the consultants, pollsters, it’s us in the media... it’s far and wide.”
“Underestimating the white vote. The missing white vote.”
Greatest Generation Boy:
“The white vote — They didn’t want to say they were for Trump.”
Chuck Todd: “The rural white vote.”
“Was the Democratic ticket too white?”
Greatest Generation Boy:
“I think the ticket was too establishment. I don’t think they had the charisma that the white voters were saying they wanted.”
Lester Holt:
“All those things that he said stuck.”
Chuck Todd:
“He has no shackles on him. won this by trashing the press; by trashing the establishment.”
Lester Holt:
“There’s no mandate.”
Greatest Generation Boy:
“No mandate.”
Ha ha ha
What would they have said if Obama was in Trump’s place??
Just a reminder: Mike Huckabee has been saying for months that Trump would win and in a wave big enough to shock the pollsters and media elites. Asked how he knew, he said, “I talk to real people.”
Just an amazing election. Watching the CNN live feed with ABC and its just atrocious how they are playing the race card.
Greatest Generation Boy:
“You’ve got to look at what they both stand for. .. knowing more than generals, blowing up ISIS immediately, an economic program that every economist says won’t work.... blah blah blah - How can he get anyone on board with that? (paraphraise)”
Woman (Kennedy?) “This is a primal shout (from the electorate). It’s a big, pardon my French, middle finger...”
Lester Holt:
“It’s not over by any means.” (12:14a.m.)
