bush_cheney2004 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Smarty pants pollsters are still kicking themselves for blowing it so bad.....all except for the LA Times/USC internet polling: Â Quote Polls that consistently gave Clinton a comfortable lead in recent weeks included Bloomberg Politics, CBS News, Fox News, Reuters/Ipsos, USA TODAY/Suffolk, Quinnipiac, Monmouth, Economist/YouGov and NBC News/SM, according to RealClearPolitics. Of 67 national polls tracking a 4-way race since the start of October, only four gave Trump the lead, according to RealClearPolitics. Of 61 national polls tracking a 2-way race during that period, six gave Trump the lead. And all six were the L.A. Times/USC poll. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/2016/11/09/pollsters-donald-trump-hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-election/93523012/ Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsy Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited)  I'm feeling light-headed from lack of sleep. Can't complain.  I'd be feeling a lot worse if the result had ended up with Hillary giving the victory speech.  Trump's hidden votes: It's not just the white guys, folks. It's also women! And he's got a share from the surge of Latino votes, too! LA Times and Rasmussen got the polls right!.   Edited November 9, 2016 by betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsy Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Scott Reid from CTV kept saying "white votes."  He's giving the race spin. He's gonna say this is due to racist white folks! What I want to know is that, why on earth does he assume all Latinos are for Hillary?    Scott Reid was terribly disappointed in Hillary though, for not having the graciousness to do the concession speech - and for treating her volunteers the way she did. I heard someone say, "sore loser."   They were criticizing Hillary for her seeming petulant and ungracious behaviour - which was likely to be picked on by the media vultures. After Trump's speech - who was gracious towards Hillary in his victory - the same pundits were saying, "he saved her."

The party at the Chateau Laurier ended looking "like a wake," says Don Martin. It emptied early on, that Don Martin was the only one left!  Toronto Sun editor (pro-Trump among the pundits) couldn't help having that grin on her face most of the night!

betsy Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 One thing was confirmed though: the pundits finally talked about the long lines and packed rallies by Trump, and the vibrant enthusiasm by supporters in his rallies, compared to Hillary's that were held in smaller venues and which lacked the vibrancy displayed by Trump's supporters. So what the right-wing press were saying was true after all. Those packed rallies and long-lines were never described by the mainstream media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsy Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) You bet they're right.....the Evangelicals were behind Trump. In fact, they were praying for him! With hardly any support from his own party, the media all out against him, and all the smears coming out to tar him......look how he ended up not only being President - but with both houses surviving to support him.  His road to victory is quite amazing!

bush_cheney2004 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Gov. Mike Huckabee called the large evangelical turnout for Trump early on Tuesday.  Something like 80% went for Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Kind of Hypocritical for Evangelicals to go for Trump. But whatever, it's not like Hillary spoke for them either. This is a rejections of the political establishment. Trump was able to win without the help of the Republican party. Calling white people in the heartland dumb ignorant hicks is not a way to win hearts and minds. They have a vote too and they used it. Edited November 9, 2016 by Boges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'M NOTÂ surprised Trump won because he connected with so many voters who felt like he said, the system is rigged and corrupt and it has been for a long time and when the families of Clinton and Bush are gone from politics , then maybe the cancer will be gone from D.C. Trump will HAVE keep his word about Hillary and the 33000 e-mails and the Foundation or the voters will turn away from him. Trump will also need to triple his security and checkout the Secret Service agents surrounding him, since its been said, it was a SS agent that really shot Bobby Kennedy. I HOPE TRUMP ANDÂ PENCE CAN BRING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER AND BRING PEACE BACK TO WORLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
