Packed rallies vs meager events and they all chose to pretend it wasn’t real.
I guess it would have hurt their brains too much if they would have thought it was real so they did what liberals do, they ignored reality and pretended.
Eventually because the election actually happened reality Trumped pretending. Schlonged it really. And now they are busy pretending that it didn’t happen for the reason it did.

my prediction that Mrs. Clinton was a 100 percent favorite was a glaring miss.

My confidence was not partisan spin.

Well, David, It's hard to see much of anything when you've got your arrogant head so far up your elitist ass.

What they didn’t count on was Eddie01. Stealth. Would not answer the pollsters call.


The relentless pounding of Trump as Hitler, evil, sexist, you name it, by the media resulted in publicly silencing his supporters out of fear of being labeled. No surprise that they then didn’t show up in polling samples.

So effectively, because of their extreme bias, the media is responsible for shutting off being able to read the public.

“The relentless pounding of Trump as Hitler, evil, sexist, you name it, by the media resulted in publicly silencing his supporters out of fear of being labeled.”

Not exactly.

I knew they were counting on me to be part of the strategy. So I like so many others purposely skewed they polling to get them over confident.

My Trump support was well known by friends and family

The Hillary-loving Liberal MSM were the Joseph Goebbels of 2016. They were hoping to affect the election using their propaganda! They didn’t get it wrong, they refused to tell the truth.

The Big Ten schools are Penn State, The Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska. 12 universities in 9 states. Trump carried 7 of the 9 states.

Plus Maryland and Rutgers. 14 U's in 11 states; Trump was 7 of the 11.

Yeppers. Same propaganda.

Same sources.

Now, did “tey” know it, and were deliberately lying?
Or were they deliberately ignorant, and deliberately NOT educating themselves?
Or were they ignorantly ignorant, and didn’t know what they were doing because of confirmation bias and “everybody I talk to knows that” insider-Washington-NYC-LA bias?

ExTexasRedhead :" They were hoping to affect the election using their propaganda!
They didn’t get it wrong, they refused to tell the truth."

I think many of those polls were "push polls" , where they aren't looking for truth, they are trying to use the polls to create an illusion of superiority.
Whenever you see a poll, ask in your own mind, 'who paid for it '?
Most of the polls were designed and paid for by DemoRATS to indicate that they were ahead in popularity and electoral college votes.
They were all regurgitating what other polls had said; three days out, only the L.A. Times poll indicated a Trump surge
That is how they all got caught creating news, rather than reporting the news in the polls !

Never underestimate the power of p*ssed off people in large groups.

Or the power of prayers, either.

Here's an analysis of NYT polling showing which voters put Trump in.

"PROOF: Blacks, women, Hispanics voted for “racist, sexist” Trump." Title NOT accurate. It should be "Black, Hispanic, Young People (18-29), and Poor People (< $30k)"
