And beyond MSM polls being wrong, Nate Silver's reputation was put on the line in tooting Hillary's forthcoming victory. Oddsmakers, Michael Barone, Larry Sabato, Joe Trippi, and Karl Rove made it seem her Presidency was inevitable. Wish I had bet against the house on that one. More than eating crow, they should never be allowed to turn out that kind of crap again. A Ouija board stood a better chance of being right than the busload of those jokers.

Their collective reputation and prestige underwriting stats for her became a real distraction and made to seem like issues had no meaning.

On Fox, Krauthammer and Hume declaring that he lost the last debate by prudently questioning election results if fraud was discovered was duplicitous bullying. Even O'Reilly was more balanced about Trump. Thank heaven that Doocy, Kilmeade, and Hannity, and some of The Five staff (not that Rino PeRINO) were on the air.

“Nate Silver... Michael Barone, Larry Sabato, Joe Trippi, and Karl Rove made it seem her Presidency was inevitable. Wish I had bet against the house on that one.”

True. Agreed. My feeling on Nov. 7th was fear and trepidation. Thankfully, there was joy on Nov. 8th. I wish I had the courage to bet on a victory of Trump.
