Donโt get me wrong โ Trump winning is a terrible tragedy for our nation. But itโs one that was completely avoidable. The DNC (in the immediate, not systemic sense) is as much to blame as the Trump voters is what I am saying.
Unfortunately, being able to make fun of the clueless Clinton sycophants will not make up for the calamity that will be the next four years.
I should have stuck to my guns about the election when I said this โ turns out that even I listened to the elites late in the process more than I should have.
Thereโs also going to be a whole lot of secret Trump voters who will not tell anyone they are intending to vote for Trump โ even pollsters โ yet will do so anyway. This is why many of the polls even right up to the election will be wrong.
Damn, me of 8 months ago was much more correct than me of two days ago. Ha. Hereโs what I wrote then in full:
Donald Trump can actually beat Hillary in November: Stubborn pundits still refuse to accept it.
Can and will; Clinton will not win in the general any of the Southern states where she was strongest in the primaries, whereas Donald Trump is likely to win most of the Northeast states where he is strongest.
Clinton is a bad pick in general, but a particularly bad pick against Trump where her election and campaign weaknesses are imperfectly arrayed against Trumpโs very strengths.
I didnโt and donโt support Clinton or Sanders (or Trump), but Sanders wouldโve been far more likely to defeat Trump in the kind of matchup weโre moving towards.
And when Trump inevitably gets a landslide against Clinton due to her weakness in Southern states, the pundits will all be completely stunned, etc.
Also donโt forget just how rabid the hatred is for Clinton โ many people who donโt vote are too young to remember the 90s, but I was there and havenโt forgotten. Thereโs a whole gaggle of people who will show up solely to vote against Clinton, whereas most liberals wonโt bother about Trump.
Thereโs also going to be a whole lot of secret Trump voters who will not tell anyone they are intending to vote for Trump โ even pollsters โ yet will do so anyway. This is why many of the polls even right up to the election will be wrong.
Get used to saying โPresident Trump,โ is what Iโm telling you.
I have a couple of friends who live just outside of Cologne and have been for a couple of years. They just said they’re not coming home for another four years.
