Actually, there were only THREE pollsters who came anywhere close: the LA TImes, IBD, and the Trafalgar Group. Everyone else should be unemployed, especially Nate Silver.

Liberals mostly don't go to independent sites like CD.
Their critical thinking skills have atrophied from a life of liberal propaganda via
our education system, the entertainment industry, the liberal MSM, and popular culture
so they hang out with liberal cheerleaders at the NYT, Huffpoo, et. al so they don't have to
engage in actual debate.

Incorrect. They predicted winner of election, not popular vote in California. They were all wrong.

All the polls here showed Trump winning an overwhelming victory.

That's not what happened.

It was basically a reverse 2012. In 2012 the national polls tended to be off, but the state polling was fairly close. This year the national polling was fairly close, but the state polling was a mess.

What we have learned from the recent Jill Stein stunt is, Obama may not have really won.... Jill has exposed how bad the election can be rigged.

Just this time, they could not overcome the title wave, Trump brought out.

Last night it was reported Hillary has lost 70,000 votes in the recount paper audit going to Trump instead(rigged machines), in Wisconsin after day 5 of the drawn out recount precinct by precinct.

Do you have a link on this? Btw, state level govt in Wisconsin is pretty much all Republican.
