Talk about the bastardization of a word!
Had to look up ‘white-anting,’ but thanks for post.
Yet another “unexpected” win for the right.
The pundits and “experts” should all be fired for their proven incompetence and bias.

White-anting = The term is derived from the action of termites (white ants) eating the inside of wooden building foundations, often leaving no outward evidence, until the structure crumbles.
Okay, your socialist group think morons, what’s the next election you’ll lose? Trump/Pence 2020...
Thank you for your analysis. So why were the pollsters and pundits wrong?
There was a sidebar story at your link about fake anti-Abbott outrage from fake mourning voters. I would have enjoyed that one but it was behind a paywall.
