Never overestimate the public that elected Bush. Twice.

--- Caution! Do not read anything extra into the following observations. ---

Driving thru rural OH, PA, NY, CT, & MA, I saw a lotta Trump yard signs.
Clinton signs were rare....only a couple in Ohio. Johnson signs were rare too.

Talking to many people, I never met one Hillary supporter.
Nearly all were for Trump, but one guy planned to abstain.
Of the Trump voters, few actually liked him.
"Holding my nose" was often the accompanying qualification.

It is threads like this one that I think deserve a re-read at the very least and a little bump. Mostly because as the dates show, just 3 weeks ago, there were so many that saw Hillary as foregone conclusion for POTUS.

While this thread doesn't have this, it's a little interesting to see rhetoric of "it's over, she's won." Especially as that was shoved in face of Pubs and made to think our candidate/political positions no longer deserve any consideration. I dunno, perhaps I'm making this all up, but if I find them, I'm kinda wanting to bump them because of how utterly shocking the actual outcome was and to show what some of us had to put up with not too long ago.

That was until the comey thing squashed Hillarys lead. The most accurate polls had Hillary a four point lead and was a two point lead trump by election night.

I don't know about that. ..
Clinton lost Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
While I agree that Comey was wrong in a very partisan way, that doesn't explain the whole thing by any stretch.
To me.

The websites I use have lots of Johnson signs.

It would be part of the reason dems didn't come out to vote. Enough apathy towards hillary spelled out a trump win.
