Is anyone really going to change their vote because The President had a sore throat and Trump is a fast liar? Not Humor

Getting 2016 flashbacks of “we got this in the bag” democrats

Right? Around 90% of polls in 16 and 20 underestimated Trump support. They are currently predicting a close race. 

This is how democracy ends - an autocratic narcissist and legions of morons.

All the polls in 2016 had Hillary and Trump within the margin of error.

The polls weren't wrong. Trump won via about 70k votes split between 3 states. A razors edge.

Which means the polls were extremely accurate. Political commentators on some outlets were just saying dumb shit. Big difference.

Yep. People who say the polls were wrong either think polls are meant to be accurate predictions or they believe Trump’s bs about winning “in a massive landslide.” Like, dude, we see the numbers, there’s so massiveness going on here.

(Unimportant side note: I guess I’ve been exposed to trump’s deranged bullshit for so long it’s seeped into my subconscious because I wrote the phrase “massive landslide” before deciding to go find an article to backup my point, and he did indeed use the exact phrase massive landslide. What a dumbass.)
