You are making unwarranted assumptions. I said nothing about fake news or the media or Trump. In fact, I said the polls were correct. What people like Silver did with the polls to predict a winner did not show the polls were wrong but that Silver took them beyond their intended purpose. To predict a statistical probability of 97% when the polls were only 2% apart was poor math on his part.
The Yale(?) professor used a more accurate model which showed the Republican more likely to win because after 8 years of rule by one party the probability is higher the other party will win plus the state of the economy (deducting points for Trump's negative rating)
The previous two elections were called by Nate Silver with nearly perfect accuracy, so there's nothing wrong with Silver's math. There was no way to predict that 77,000 low IQ fucktards in three states would throw a temper tantrum and vote for Dump.
It was so close in those three states, it could easily have gone the other way.
In short, it was just dumb luck that the Yale(?) guys prediction prevailed.
Those polls in the swing states like WI showed the election was too close to call which also turned out to be accurate and went to Trump. I did not vote for Trump and have never said anything in support of him. However, I am going to challenge silly claims such as Russia swung the election when you have absolutely no evidence of any votes being changed.
Nobody claimed the Russians changed votes after they'd been cast. What they did was mount an unprecedented propaganda onslaught using social media to puke lies. Similar to what Trump's Pecker buddy over at the National Enquirer did with his fake, bullshit anti-Hillary cover stories, while burying the sex payoff stories and running pro-Trump garbage.
That shit influenced votes.
The Mueller Report as well as our top intelligence officials state that Russia did, beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever, interfere in and influence the 2016 election and they did so to help and favor their choice for our President, Donald J. Trump.
You can twist and squirm and shit your pants in denial over it until you drop dead in a shed, it makes no difference to me.
The FACT is that Trump was aided and abetted by the Kremlin, and every moron who voted for him was at least partially taken in by their scam.
Don't believe it? Need to deny it in order to save face?
Knock yourself out.
The right always deflects and muddies the waters with garbage like
"the Russians didn't affect the election because they didn't change any votes" crap, when we all know damned good and well it was PEOPLE'S MINDS that they changed.
What the polls could not take into account was the low turnout among many traditionally Democratic voters in swing states or the 7-8 million Obama voters in 2012 who voted for Trump in 2016.
Fine. I'll give you that about the polls, but it was still the less than 1% margin in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania that handed it to Trump.
How many of that tiny fraction had their minds changed by Russian propaganda?
