Wow. This is historical. Clinton's popular vote lead has increased to 1.5 Million votes.
How likely is it that almost all polls for months were that wrong? Anyone know the gambling odds of that? It's historical for all those polls to have been so wrong for so long, as far as I know.
In what way were the national polls wrong? Several polls were spot on like IBD and LA Times and others.
Only a couple of times. There were numerous highly rated polls, which had HRC ahead for many months. The only change was how much she was ahead.
IBD and the LA Times had Trump ahead just a few times. LA Times isn't a highly rated poll because of its methodology.
Fivethirtyeight.com, which runs algorythms based on polls, gambling odds, and historical results, had HRC ahead consistently through much of the year, as well. That is computer based. The head guy even decreased her odds of winning for a couple of human reasons...but she was still very much ahead in odds of winning....always.
Too bad, get over it. People in 3 cities don't get to decide for the rest of the country. Once you factor in the illegal alien votes it's probably about even, or Trump won the popular vote.

Of course you counting the Snowflakes who did not vote?
This is why we have he electoral College so these "Snow flakes" do not make decisions for the rest of the country!
Trump could have done better in the popular vote but he had to concentrate on states he had to win: FL, OH, PA, NC. He had to go to them again and again. He could have picked up a lot more votes in CA, NY but not enough to win them. So why campaign there? He didn't have the $$$ Clinton did, his own party wasn't supporting him. He was his only campaigner.

who cares about the national popular vote? it means nothing in the grand scheme of things. its the STATE popular vote that counts, and trump won enough state popular votes to win the national election.
as for the polls, they were weighted from 2012 when democrat turnout was large, thus they didnt show what was really going on in the country, and that was the demcorats had no energy in their campaign, where as republicans did have energy.
when trump went out for rallies, HE drew large crowds by himself, where as clinton needed hollywood stars to draw the people out to her rallies, and usually by the time the stars were done, and clinton took the stage, many in the crowd had left.
clinton was always going to win the national popular vote, especially when states like new york and california were going to clinton big time, that was a given. but trump won the states that were needed to win the election, ohio, wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. states that went for obama in 2012, and were thought to be in clintons pocket so she essentially ignored those states, were as trump went and talked to the people a number of times.
