Serious polling failures here. Although I still can't believe that anyone would actually support that man.

Not really polling failures, as much as just stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that Hillary wasn't Obama and wouldn't bring out his coalition in larger numbers than Trump.

Seems like mostly problems with considering likely voters and underestimating the effect of new voter ID laws and other efforts to cut down on voting by certain groups of people.

That and dumbass news outlets trying to call something a 1% chance for Trump lulling people into a sense of security.

I'm not really a regular, but I'm here. There's just not much to say. Every indication is that Donald Trump will be not just a bad president but a disastrous one. By his own description at the outset of his presidency he'll tear up trade deals, seize funds from Mexican citizens via the PATRIAT act to bully Mexico into building a wall, and jail his political opponent.

I was really hoping you Trump supporters would never have to face the consequences of your movement. Here I'm torn between asking my job to transfer to England or something, and sticking around in case there's still something I could do to stop it.

AZ is 11

if she gets AZ she'd also get Nevada which is another 6. But there's no way she's getting AZ lol

How the fuck was polling in Ohio off by 10 points anyway, that's like 4 standard deviations in polls lol.

edit: correction, each 1.5% is 1 standard deviation, since polls are +/- 3% with 95% which is roughly 2 standard deviations. So like 6-7 standard deviations off.
