An excellent article, and thanks for posting. Yes, this does shed a lot of light on how ostensible political professionals could possibly have missed the Trump tide. It was a combination of weaponized polls that were taken as gospel and an over-reliance on modeling that was not adjusted to reflect current data. And yes, that'll do it.

The candidate has to listen and act, though, and before pointing too many fingers at the staff for professional malpractice we have to consider that deaf ears and stubborn arrogance are equally deadly. Could be both here.

Hillary ran a campaign based on data.

Trump ran a campaign based on people.

HUGE difference !!!
