    And yet, state level polls did predict the outcome, they were just incorrect.

    For example, most polls for Michigan had Clinton winning comfortably:

    the same for Pennsylvania:

    and even Wisconsin:

    the polls were simply wrong.

    Polls predicted Clinton winning until Comey released a letter about the emails hours before the election which caused a huge swing towards Trump

    Polls still predicted Clinton winning up until the day of the election.

    National opinion polls of 1,000 or so of likely voters don't have sample sizes large enough in smaller states to reliably predict the election outcome in those states.

    The 2016 polls were pretty accurate on the national vote. Unfortunately for Useless Hillary, we don't elect Presidents that way.

    The polling methodology in many of the larger state polls was suspect. You can't get a reliable result by calling just landline phones, something that was done frequently.

    The claim "pollsters got it wrong" is spin and/or ignorance.

    Something like 2% of all the people in the world were killed in WW2. 400,000+ American GIs died.

    So many people lost so much it's disrespectful of us to minimize their sacrifice by comparing the Orange Oaf to Hitler.
    A shameful waste of a vote.

    He was the "Chosen One" in 2016. How's that burr under your saddle?

    I know Trumpers don't like to read stuff but the Bloomberg article is full of facts. The only TDS is suffered by people who can't see how badly they are being conned through all the buffoonery of this lunatic presidency.

    It is very sad all they can do is chirp TDS over and over to keep the facts at bay and keep their delusions safe from the grip of the hard cold reality of the kind of man Donald Trump is.

    Of course they can't explain it. They cover their ears and chirp TDS...TDS over and over to protect themselves from reality and keep their delusion safe.

    As a lefty, I'm concerned about human rights, & I see Trump & his supporters assaulting those rights. Look at the extreme measures Trump has taken along our southern border, with all the children incarcerated in cages for unlimited time periods, as if they were criminals themselves. Trump has no compassion & cares nothing about human rights unless that human is named Donald Trump. How can any American support that?

    Don’t tell me you were once a teacher. On the other hand, our current crop of graduates talk exactly like you do, so you probably were.
