    still it must be disconcerting that Trump is less popular than someone like clinton

    They measured the popular vote total quite accurately.

    Considering Trump won his electoral victory by narrowly winning a small collection of states with less than 150,000 votes, the polls were not accurate enough.

    However, Trump played to an inside straight and got away with it.

    He can't get away with the increasingly obvious fact that he is in way over his head.

    He was always less popular than anyone named Clinton. He still is.

    Nope. Not true.

    Did you hear this on one of the fake news sites such as the Washington Post? Or perhaps CNN?

    Liberals/progressives/socialists really need to step out of their leftist, Democratic Party-controlled echo chambers and take a look around in the real world where normal Americans live...

    Didn't Libs get burned enough during the campaign? Geez, don't they learn ANYTHING about polls? They are SKEWED, people, according to who is conducting the poll. That is why you see so many differences between them. Polls should not be taken as gospel truth. Washington Post? Will they ever conduct a poll or use a poll in which Trump comes out looking good? LOL You people are so funny....

    If you are so sure the polls were correct you may want to go back and watch all the videos of Hillary supporters and the media critters faces when the election was called for Trump.

    For the record, only one of the above has significance.
    Clinging to the other two delays your healing process.
    Let go of the hurt

    Moot point as we use an electoral college system as opposed to a straight up democratic vote. The fact remains that most of the polls were wrong in their predictions of a Clinton victory thus my not placing much trust in opinion polls.

    Point out my alleged dishonesty and please be precise and include a direct quote and explain why you feel what I said was dishonest.

    Source citation needed for the above claim. Specifically that the polls were clearly worded as to predict the popular vote over the electoral collage results.

    the citation for the polls is the entirety of the sober and paying attention world. The electoral college is in no way pertinent to the popular vote.

    Dodge noted. I take said dodge as an admittance that you cannot or willnot back your previous claim.

    And you need to learn up on the fact virtually no polls showed Trump would win neither the popular vote or the electoral college. If you got one pleze show it 2 us.

    This obviously means that polls are now totally unreliable in all circumstances. If I were a republican that is what I would go with.

    It means she should have won. Of course we all see what happened and where it has taken us in a short month.

    The reason no polls show Trump winning is because they showed Clinton winning which she did do

    It is illogical by my measure of logic to speak for all humanity.

    Moot point as I do not dispute that Clinton won the popular vote. What I challenge is your claim that "she won the popular vote just like the polls said she would". Please provide proof that all polls that said she would win were worded in a way that made it clear that the poll was about the popular vote as opposed to the electoral collage.

    When dealing with twisted logic like this I can say no more. Live in your sad world where Hillary Clinton actually sits in the White House. I assume you also thing the Democrat party controls the house and senate so,

    Let's see what President Hillary Clinton decides to do with three Supreme Court nominations, 15 Federal Appeals Court appointments, and 115 other Federal Judge appointments.
