I didn't say that to impress anyone (I admitted I got several states wrong). Since Florida's RCP average was always close, they were both "in danger of losing" at all times.

I wasn't referring to you or anyone in particular, obviously some people really did think Trump would win and were correct. But in 2016 I spent more time arguing that Hillary wasn't going to win Utah or Texas than I spent arguing she was going to win. Polls overwhelmingly showed Americans thought she would win. Even many Trump supporters thought she would win.

But now suddenly everyone saw it coming a mile away. So convenient.

It is interesting how few people were expecting it. I don't believe it, but I would have assumed that most people would have had at least the "maybe just maybe" feeling well before November 8. My friend was that way. He thought Hillary would win, but stated he felt like there was about a 25 percent chance Trump would win

I knew there was a chance (iirc I gave him a 15-20% chance to win right before the election.) But it's quite another thing to see it actually happen. Tongue

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the NH midnight town votes, which went to Trump. Most people here dismissed them.


NH was not in the freiwal

Did anyone mention Vigo County? Not scrolling through this entire thread, sorry.

Vigo County worried me a bit, but the fact that it was a Trump landslide when it was obvious Trump wasn't going to win in a landslide overall made me more willing to dismiss it as an outlier.
