How Hillary Lost Michigan: Laugh out Loud Worthy

Hillary Clinton wants to blame the Russians for her loss. It’s easy to see why...

a week-and-a-half out, the Service Employees International Union started hearing anxiety out of Michigan [and] union officials decided to reroute their volunteers...

Turn that bus around, the Clinton team ordered SEIU. Those volunteers needed to stay in Iowa to fool Donald Trump into competing there, not drive to Michigan, where the Democrat’s models projected a 5-point win through the morning of Election Day...

Michigan operatives relay stories like one about an older woman in Flint who showed up at a Clinton campaign office, asking for a lawn sign and offering to canvass, being told these were not “scientifically” significant ways of increasing the vote, and leaving, never to return. A crew of building trade workers showed up at another office looking to canvass, but, confused after being told there was no literature to hand out like in most campaigns, also left and never looked back...

If that doesn’t warm the cockles of your heart, nothing will....

Exit question: Did Hillary’s team count on voter fraud in Detroit to win the election? Is that why they didn’t bother?

I agree. For sue something has to be done about voter fraud.

“She wasn’t campaigning heavily.”

She was a deeply flawed candidate running on name recognition and the notion (won’t say ‘fact’) that she has lady-parts. She knew she dropped in the polls when she spoke, so she didn’t speak, but rather counted on a supposed DJT gaffe to keep her afloat. Also, as posted above, she believed her own BS.

Moore’s crazy, but not stupid, he heard the anecdotal evidence shouting all around him, as we all did, the unpollable dems who finally walked the RAT party for good.

HRC just couldn’t accept that any of her centrist party voters needed jobs, too. Not only did she not put out for them, she made it clear she was going to FORCE them into DJT’s job-creating arms by continuing and amplifying zero’s job-killing policies.

Is this type of coordination between the campaign and the pac run by SEIU illegal?

We’ll never know if ORCA was GIGO or a good model, it having failed the day before the election. I’d like to think ADA was sabotaged :)

But the RATS have kept the vote fraud to ~5pts for elections.. they know now they should have dialed it up two more points, but O’Keefe had them spooked, looking at jail time. So, DJT really won by 7pts overall, not including CA.

Sort of like mixing up the Kool Aid for the masses and then finding that you like drinking it yourself...

The tendency to “want too believe” is even more dominant when the principles of logic and persuasion are no longer taught and children pass throught he educational system without being challenged to evaluate what they hear and develop critical thinking skills. As our schools have done for decades now.

Actual the LA Times poll was off by more than most polls. They had Trump winning by 3% in the popular vote and instead lost by 2.5%-3%. That’s a fairly large miss. Rasmussen was the closest IIRC.

I’m telling you it was the Russians. They came in through Canada and voted for Trump. Then snuck back home. Through Alaska.

The Democrats screwed up by running Hillary instead of Biden.

I still think Biden would have won if he ran against any Republican. The Liberals love it when their guy is a bit “off”. Just look at Tim Kaine. LOL

Doesn’t matter anyway, just like all these excuses about Hillary’s Campaign. We won, they lost. Next...

Just my $.02, your Mileage may vary.

Very intersting, thanks. So it too is a tracking poll, it was also conducted over the internet rather than on the phoone. Even more interesting that it was an “opt-in” poll and makes no claim to being a statistically-valid sample.

I think this proves my argument that probability polling is a relic of the past, with better methods now available that can better reflect the actual sentiment of voters.

Most telling is the following - another key similarity to the Daybreak poll, which only compensates for demographics, not party affiliation:

“The People’s Pundit Daily U.S. Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll does not weight based on party affiliation (party ID). Polling results are weighted based on the U.S. Census Current Population Survey for demographics such age, sex, race, education and region”

I stand corrected, I should have said the Daybreak poll was about the only one that consistently showed Trump in the lead, which put it so far from the conventional polls that the MSM wanted it excluded from the RCP Average. I did find this summary chart from a WaPo article, which does not include the PPD poll that LS says was closest, but it may have been excluded by the criteria of the researcher:

If DJT hadn’t trounced Hillary, she would have still pulled it out. Fact is, he had literally overwhelming numbers so that even her fraud couldn’t help her.

which only compensates for demographics, not party affiliation:


It took Trump Democrats until after Romney’s loss to really start feeling the pain zero was intentionally inflicting on the middle class. The ‘14 midterms was the best model for 2016; when 25% of Dems realized their party had been hijacked and was not likely to be rescued.

HRC 1) Refused to believe the party had jettisoned 25% of its own base, wilfully, and 2) Was too chicken to name Castro as her VP. With him, she could have achieved 8pts of vote fraud and it would be impossible to untangle or prove.

I think that Hillary & her cronies THOUGHT they had used
enough massive voter fraud (dead “voters”, illegal aliens
that HUSSEIN OBAMA gave the green light to vote, voters
voting multiple times, etc.) - to jettison her fat butt to
the Presidency. BUTT, they miscalculated.

Many Black people consciously voted against Hillary by choosing to stay home. How are they stupid?
