I saw Paul Ryan tonight in an interview where he says he had no idea election night would turn out that way. WRONG ANSWER. If you had your ear to the ground, you KNEW DAMN WELL that Trump had a decent chance of pulling this off. The correct way of thinking if you were aware of REAL MEDIA and msm, was to be fully cognoscent that Trump had a huge groundswell, would win MANY states, but could he make it? Could he win enough of the battleground states? You should have, as the speaker of the house, been as informed as I was, seeing that Hillary had certain advantages and could still win despite her crimes and unpopularity, but also seeing a few paths to a Trump victory.
There was no way, even before Election Day, that this was going to be a Hillary blowout. You would have to have your head far up the anus of the mainstream media. Which half the country apparently did.
Beg to differ. With the media so dead there is no way in southern Kansas to assess the hearts, minds and voting intentions of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Just because you know your friends and family are voting Trump does not translate into the rest of the USA feels the same. It is a BIG country and you can’t make assumptions. The death of the news media makes it hard to connect Floria with North Dakota voters. That is the problem - not knowing what to expect from the traditional blue states in a time of extreme uncertainty. Anyone who is sure Trump would win on Nov 8th is not believable. It was a miraculous victory that can be repeated again, now.
