    He had Trump at a pretty damn good shot of winning...basically 30%. How did he lose credibility?

    The media definitely has egg all on their face for this one. That's for certain.

    Now I wish someone int he media would have leaked the p***** grabbing tape during the GOP primaries so that we could have gotten a more reasonable GOP candidate. Only she could fumble the election after that.

    Well having someone at 30% who is looking at surpassing 300 electoral votes is pretty bad.

    If it was close then I'd agree...but he won this pretty easily.

    No one else had Trump closer based on the polling. The supposed new guru Sam Wang got absolutely embarrassed and the Upshot got demolished as well.

    I didn't vote for either candidate. My declaration was based on the exit polls, which were actually horrendous for Trump. They were obviously wrong. It's not the first time. Trump will have his chance to govern, and I will support him just as I would have supported Hillary.

    There were a massive amount of undecideds which made the polling very questionable. Silver was up front about that from everything I had seen from him. I think everyone generally thought Trump was fighting the uphill battle as well. Silver had Trump projected around 235ish electoral votes before the election if I recall correctly. He wasn't too far off.

    Like I say whenever Morey or Rick Smith does some stupid ****. I hope they prove me wrong.

    I hope the same for him. I hope Trump proves me wrong. I don't think he will, but I hope so.

    Definitely way more accurate than the Huffington Post (99% chance of Hillary win) and NY Times (88% chance of Hillary win) models.

    That is whats disturbing. Considering Clinton was in PA on monday evening campaigning again, she knew she had issues.

    Trump and Clinton rallies told two very different stories and this was largely ignored. Either the polling is skewed in hopes of influencing the election or our current polling methods are antiquated.

    I despise Trump, but the more Van Jones whines like a b****, the more I'm fine with the result.

    Most of that vote took from the Republicans though.

    Speech did not inspire me, felt like a high school event, not overly produced and refined. Amarosa, really. But it's on. He deserves his due. He was saying the right things. It didnt come across as Presidential, but it wasn't a disaster either. Now we'll see what he can do.
