While sitting in for Rachel Maddow, Steve Kornacki got carried away with his election predictions. He did not get ONE single state right.
(How will this guy ever live this down?)
That was fun to watch! Steve needs arm restraints. Too funny.
By now, Freepers know that in August of 2015 I said Trump would win, and over the months-—long before he won the nomination-—I said “between 300 and 320 electoral votes.” Many of us were doing numbers, and I said Trump should get about 62m popular vote.
I didn’t think about this because Cankles had gotten such a lead in the popular vote, but sure enough, I looked at the numbers today and he’s right at 62m.
Now, I admit, later I hedged when it looked like Johnson and Stein would soak up larger shares. I always thought Trump would win the popular vote by 4%, no matter what the final total was. So I was really wrong about the popular vote total overall.
Excellent summary.
I will take your predictions any day....
Wait til you see the book. Great stuff in there. Sending revised edited copies back tomorrow, out Jan. 20 in e-form.
“How Trump Won” with Joel Pollak.
You made a great call.
Being a Liberal means you never have to live anything down.
You just live “in denial,” permanently.
Great find!
Looking forward to it
You only have to add the word "legal" (as in "legal popular vote") and I suspect you'll be pretty close to golden.
He would make a good crossing guard.
BTW, this YouTube video automatically came up after I watched the one you just posted. You've probably seen it already, but it's just so yummy!
Most UPSET Reactions to Donald Trump Winning Election Against Hillary
What’s most amazing about these poll predictions were how accurate they were... with Hillary’s numbers.
48% in Penn (actual 47.48), 43% in Ohio (actual 43.24), 41% in Iowa (actual 41.74), N.C.47% (actual 46.17), Georgia 44% (actual 45.41), Kansas 39% (actual 36.05)... all right on or near the money.
But she lost them all! Cause it t’was Trump they missed and bigly!
Just like in the primaries.....underestimated Trump
I was personally hoping for 343, but was very pleased with 306.
Well prognosticated.
Please be sure to let me know, I want a good read. You have been such a treasure!
bfl
I remember you did call it but with the MSM touting cankle’s assured win it was hard to believe.
On election night I was out of town and my son spoke to me on the phone around 9pmEST saying the networks were pretty sure the beast had it in the bag. I went to my hotel room and prayed on my knees. I couldn’t believe it when I found out around midnight EST that Trump had won. I still kind of can’t believe it. I believe it truly was a miracle from God.
