And this is why I didn't buy the polling data that had Hillary as the surefire winner. I felt there were a lot of Trump supporters that didn't want to admit it.
It depended on who was interpreting the polling data as to who declared her a sure fire winner.

Why wouldn’t they want to admit it? Because they didn’t want to be known as supporting a racist, misogynist for president? Or because they preferred to be a closet racist? Or maybe because they wanted to skew the poll results to suppress Hillary supporters. Either way, two independent studies got to the heart of the matter but you know, dismiss it as research looking for a predetermined outcome (not you but another poster). Anyway, why won’t Team Trump Treason supporters own their shit? Pride? Accomplishment? The economy?

You always go right to racism but no, I think people didn't want to admit they were voting for Trump because he's a dumb, crooked casino-owner/reality TV star.

In any case, it's an amazing thing that we have someone that was able to win a presidential election (and will probably win one more) when there's apparently a critical mass of those that don't want to tell anyone outside of the curtain that they support him. I've heard it suggested that there might be some correlation between his supporters and those who just generally distrust pollsters (which, given their feelings on media, may be valid).

What does that say aboot them then, if that were the fact? But its not. You had three swing states turn on approximately 66,000 votes. You had Hillary win the popular by 3MM. You had an unprecedented social media/meme campaign financed and coordinated by a foreign power. Its unprecedented, hence why its studied. You had 6-7 million of 22 million previous Obama voters either vote Team Trump Treason, not vote or vote "not Hillary," because of their fear of the "other" and/or immigrants. But yea, I know, everyone is a racist. So, where are the Team Trump Treason supporters on here? Why can't they own their shit and list the reasons they voted for him and, particularly, continue to support him, especially knowing what we know now? Do you believe Team Trump Treason is racist and misgoynist? What about his unwavering base?

They DID NOT say it was a shoo-in. They gave Hillary a 72% chance of winning....still a 28% chance she would not. That's where it ended up.

Pretty on point with their popular vote prediction too. They cannot help it if a few polls in a few swing states were not entirely accurate (for some strange reason).

Might have been me. The national polling was correct...it had Hillary by 2-3% which was spot on.
It was MI, PA and WI that erred on tRump's side. He won by 77,000 votes in those three states.

And remember....if was that fucking Comey bullshit that likely lost it for her. The polls didn't have time to react to that shit.
I totally agree that Clinton may very well have just squeaked by if it weren't for Comey. I get the impression that Comey actually knows this, but keeps saying he doesn't think that's the case, or hopes it isn't, just to try and save face. I'd be shocked to hear that this doesn't actually keep him up at night though, lol.

But what does that even mean, “didn’t give him as good a chance as I thought he had”? They gave him an almost 30% chance of winning, based on a complex analysis of polling data. Maybe you gave him a 50% chance of winning, based on your gut. It’s irrelevant, though; the end result is binary, whether the chance was 28% or 50% or 90%.

I based it on the fact that, for work, I have to drive all over Pennsylvania. Everywhere I went there were Trump signs except for Philly and Pittsburgh. And I thought well, it seems like rural Pennsylvania is all about Trump. And that being the case, why wouldn't rural Ohio be for Trump? And hell, why not all other rural places? So that's what I based it on: everything between Philly and Pittsburgh being Trump country and having a feeling that this could be the case all over the country.

It probably is...my last trip through Wisconsin did not tell me who was running against Scott Walker because his were the only gubernatorial signs I saw. I also saw way more signs for incumbent Tammy Baldwin's (D) opponent (R; forgot name) than Baldwin. Walker lost and Baldwin won easily. When driving through the sticks, most signs are for GOP but these are very few people. Once you get to even small towns, you'll see that even out some.

I was more surprised at the lefties that didn't vote for Clinton. I'll never understand that. I think they assumed Clinton would win so they voted for Johnson or Stein to make themselves feel better. Then they couldn't believe tRump won.

Regarding lefties not voting for Clinton, one of the many, many pieces of the perfect shitstorm that got Trump elected (and one of the most preventable) was the party's lack of understanding of just how hated she has been for so long. I think there were just enough people that value "my vote" over "who wins." I understand that philosophy but with Trump on the otherside, lament it. The party really was out of touch with the American People. There probably is some of that "I'll vote third because this thing's over, anyway." But I really think the dems simply nominated a dog of a candidate.

So, who here would? Don't be afraid. If you voted for Team Trump Treason and the election were held tomorrow, would you vote for him, regardless of the opposing candidate(s)?
Lurking somewhere for sure, but don't hold your breath: the Trump supporters that have modern technology and know how to use modern technology are not going to expose themselves publically as a tool. Doing so would be tantamount to coming on here and passionately asserting Nickelback is way better than Pearl Jam.
And this is why I didn't buy the polling data that had Hillary as the surefire winner. I felt there were a lot of Trump supporters that didn't want to admit it.
It depended on who was interpreting the polling data as to who declared her a sure fire winner.
Well take something like fivethirtyeight.com, which was literally created to predict the outcomes of elections by using various polling data. They said it was a shoo-in for Hillary. And now they have no credibility.
I’m not sure where you’re getting that fivethirtyeight said it was a shoo-in for Clinton. What I’ve seen there is that they gave trump a 28% chance of winning. They also pretty much just nailed the recent election.
Ok shoo-in might not be the best wording there. I guess I meant to say they didn't give him as good a chance as I thought he had.
But what does that even mean, “didn’t give him as good a chance as I thought he had”? They gave him an almost 30% chance of winning, based on a complex analysis of polling data. Maybe you gave him a 50% chance of winning, based on your gut. It’s irrelevant, though; the end result is binary, whether the chance was 28% or 50% or 90%.
I based it on the fact that, for work, I have to drive all over Pennsylvania. Everywhere I went there were Trump signs except for Philly and Pittsburgh. And I thought well, it seems like rural Pennsylvania is all about Trump. And that being the case, why wouldn't rural Ohio be for Trump? And hell, why not all other rural places? So that's what I based it on: everything between Philly and Pittsburgh being Trump country and having a feeling that this could be the case all over the country.
It probably is...my last trip through Wisconsin did not tell me who was running against Scott Walker because his were the only gubernatorial signs I saw. I also saw way more signs for incumbent Tammy Baldwin's (D) opponent (R; forgot name) than Baldwin. Walker lost and Baldwin won easily. When driving through the sticks, most signs are for GOP but these are very few people. Once you get to even small towns, you'll see that even out some.
I'm in red meat Indiana so signs don't tell me much. My parents are GOP yet they hated tRump. My mom actually wrote in "Mitch Daniels" for president when she voted.

My parents drove all the way across America in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, and when they came home, just a few days before election day, they said they were now 100% convinced that Trump would win the election simply because they saw SO much support for Trump across the country in the form of signs and posters, etc etc. None of that was about being anti-Clinton. That was all full on support for Trump that they saw as they made their way across the nation.

Tbh, i wouldnt dare put up any signs, stickers, etc in fear of badgering, harassment, or vandalism
Apparently there are a LOT of places where it's hunky dory, lol. Of course they drove through practically every small town from Washington state to the Atlantic Ocean... and didn't even get close to the southern states. I don't think they went farther south than southern Illinois/Indiana on that trip.

You mention Washington State. Sure, many small, rural towns visibly and vocally supported Trump, but he didn't have a prayer here. The last time Washington State's votes went to a Republican was 1984 for Ronald Reagan. Hillary destroyed Trump here in 2016, 54.3% to 38.1%. So while there were plenty of Trump signs out, there wasn't any critical mass of support for him, despite the prevalence of yard signs. Obviously places like Idaho, the Dakotas, and the Rust Belt may have been Trump country, but those signs aren't always indicative of his level of support.

Yeah, I know how Washington votes better than any other state - I know WA as well as I know BC. All I was saying is that my parents went across America right before the election, and when they left they thought that Trump didn't have a hope in hell of winning, and when they returned they would have bet money on him winning, all just because they observed so much specific Trump support on their journey - way, way more than they expected to see - and they didn't even visit the states that REALLY like him. My point is that specific support for Trump across the nation (as opposed to people simply being ridiculously (and illogically, IMO) anti-Clinton) was higher than some like to believe.

I agree with that. There were definitely very vocal and visible pockets of Trump supporters, even in very red states, who were motivated and engaged. I don't personally know any of them, and can't imagine the cognitive dissonance required by so-called Republicans to go all in for Trump. Protectionist economic policies, massive deficit spending, porn stars and prostitutes, and love affairs with ruthless dictators and sworn enemies of our country, yet those yokels continue to support him. God, guns & Trump! Praise the lord.

538's credibility is spot on.
It was MI, PA and WI that erred on tRump's side. He won by 77,000 votes in those three states.

I love you guys
Now we are saying this wasnt a massive, shocking, wtf just happened type of upset? C'mon
In the weeks leading up she was an even bigger chalk
My beef if that since then, people have flat out denied every single poll saying they’re innacurate.
