Democrats didn't 'fake polls'. Many Republican pollsters predicted a Clinton win.

The polls failed to take into account educational attainment, so they oversampled college-educated whites, who voted for Clinton at higher rates than non-college-educated whites. Hence why they overestimated Clinton's support. It was a structural flaw in their demographics, an accident, not malice.

CNN, New York Times, Washintgon Post, Hufftington Post and other liberal fake news sites had definitely overdone it...
they underestimated the effect of constant propaganda pressure: people may seem compliant on the outside, but inside the voting booth, alone, they feel they're going to really stick it to the totalitarian pressure-cooker.

Daily we can hear the twisted and bogus spinsels that presstitutes come up with as well as Democrats and sheep in wolves clothes like the anti Trumper like Ana Navarro and other nasty, biased people who believe they are relevant and believe that any person with a brain is listening too.

Hillary convinced herself that she is a victim and not the cause of losing.

Rome fell because of decadence...and so did the Democratic party.

Remember Obama and Roman decorated stage...that's when we thought the fall would be too hard to handle for democrats as in their mind there was not any possibility that they could loose.
Bottom line is that the "group think" didn't take.

War on women was another false narrative that Hillary and her cronies tried to push and was fake when you use it for the USA. Trump got it right that the muslim world has a,war on women in some muslim countries.

I kept saying that all these polls prior to the election were rigged to show Hillary was leading. These polls regularly over sample Democrats to get the result they want. It's been that way for years, and it was especially true during this election cycle. How many threads did we have on here that said the Republican Party was dead, that they had no hope of keeping control of Congress, Hillary was going to win in a landslide, etc., etc. All were based on a false "narrative" that was created by the Democrat controlled, so-called "main stream" media. The "propaganda media," which is everyone but Fox and a handful of other independent media. The major networks are all run by Democrats.

Yep, and all the deception presented by the media and those trolling for the Hill and riding the coattails of her husband, Bill, Hillary's chances of being elected still remained "nil" for those that had a clue.

I'm glad that people didn't fall for the lies and voted using their own minds.

Clinton walked a thin line by artificially inflating the polls to go her way. On one side there are those people who would come out to vote for a sure thing so they could be on "the winning team" and on the other are those who come out to vote for the underdog. Trump was the underdog since the day he decided to run.

I do think most people had their minds made up weeks if not months before the election.
