We are DOOMED.

I heard polls that had Trump not getting 5% Hispanic vote. 29%, that is huge. As far Bernie, more independents went for Trump - but against Bernie probably wouldn't had happened.
 
Every week we see a good number of Vegas picks go the other way. I found an odds converter that put those odds somewhere between Clinton -7 or Clinton -7.5 for college football spreads. It's a surprise, but no more of a surprise than an 8 point upset.

Trump won't be as bad as those frothing at the mouth think. The Globalist overthrow has begun and it is a glorious thing.

will you still be humping this line when his entire cabinet/department heads are re-treaded George W. Bush flacks, corporate lobbyists, and Heritage Foundation-welfare recipients? Because it's looking increasingly like this is going to be George W. Bush term 3 except with a chief who is even less enthusiastic to sit through a meeting and make a decision than he was.

We shall see.

Gotta beat what we have now. Though I'd have a spot for Harry Reid for shits and giggles..
 
The day before the election, Nate Silver said 28% chance of Trump. That's far from impossible. That's a prediction that should be wrong 1 out of 4 times.

I know other stations were projecting stronger predictions, but I'm suspicious they're numbers guys play 2nd fiddle to the feelings of their producers.

I never said it was impossible, merely that the polls didn't indicate it would happen. Just like the same polls indicate Sanders would have beaten Trump. i don't see any reason to believe that data is anymore reliable. I'm also not saying Trump would have beaten Sanders - just that polls that say he would don't prove anything.

That's fair. It's a very popular story though. "How did the polls get it so wrong?!?!?"

They didn't. People just don't understand odds.

The go to explanation they seem to love, but I've seen no evidence for is that Trump supporters were so embarrassed by their pick they lied to the pollsters. If that was true to any significant degree, then we'd need an explanation for why Trump didn't win by much more.
