I generated a map that was completely wrong as well. Just saying that if somebody put a gun to my head and asked, I'd have predicted a win for Clinton but I knew that the odds were not bad for a Trump win. It was a head vs heart kind of thing too.

i never once even doubted MI/PA/WI would go blue.

i still kinda suspect they didn't.

i knew NC/FL would be close. GA/AZ will be closer in 4 more years.

But you weren't one of the loud members who was walking around with a Clinton mop looking for Trumpers.

I would have bet money on a Hillary win if I would have had to also. I really didn't think Trump was gonna pull it off.

I was very surprised at the overall effect of Fake News,, they ate it up,, and re posted it left and right,, it was strartling

In an interview with a person who ran a fake news group out of a home in southern cali, he said the Trump followers and right wingers in general ran with their stories. When they tried to make up news for liberals, they didn't take the bait.

When did you notice that fake news does best with Trump supporters?

Well, this isn't just a Trump-supporter problem. This is a right-wing issue. Sarah Palin's famous blasting of the lamestream media is kind of record and testament to the rise of these kinds of people. The post-fact era is what I would refer to it as. This isn't something that started with Trump. This is something that's been in the works for a while. His whole campaign was this thing of discrediting mainstream media sources, which is one of those dog whistles to his supporters. When we were coming up with headlines it's always kind of about the red meat. Trump really got into the red meat. He knew who his base was. He knew how to feed them a constant diet of this red meat.

We've tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You'll get debunked within the first two comments and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out.

i was looking around,, i thought there once was a law that news had to be accurate, and news channels prided themselves on being up right, was it Regan who stopped enforcing that?,,, cant remember the name of the law or act,, that was the start of news being entertainment,,

I listened to this article when it first aired on NPR. Right wingers are vulnerable to fake news.

FOX NEWS is the winner of a lawsuit that attempted to hold them accountable for the truth of their stories. That is, they won the 'right' to call themselves a news channel and still air falsehoods.

These two data points, taken together, explain a lot about the right to me.

You keep hoping he gets impeached and I'll keep enjoying watching the tears fall every day he isn't.

Although as for as entertainment value goes, I dont feel a re-election will be as enjoyable to see as it was watching him knock Hillary off the throne during her premature inauguration. Guess that just depends on how "sure" the left is of a win in 2020. Man, they sure thought they had this round in the bag.

Lol.

The pollsters were actually nearly correct in their assessment, Hillary leads by 2.5 mill votes.

Read this and weep: Hillary's lead is greater than the last 10 presidents combined.

Your candidate lost the vote by nearly 2% you cuck.
