The aggregators gave the overall chances of a Hillary win anywhere from around 67% (fivethietyeight) to 99% (pollster.com). Generally they were floating around 80 or 90% from the NYT etc.
Going by the polling consensus a Clinton loss was quite unlikely but not impossible. And, well.

The polls were messed up because Trump voters didn't have the balls to say they were voting for him
They voted for the candidate that they wanted. Fuck them huh?

Does poll have a breakdown per state or are weighted because we've been through these polls before.

I mean why would you vote for him if he's not in the election

What does that matter? It's a national opinion poll, not an election.
Someone has never played the modern XCOM
Hey, me too. My husband let me fill in the bubble on his ballot and I took a picture because I was excited. Those were really different times.I did in Michigan. I took a picture because I wanted to record voting for the first woman president

oh my god
You should blame Clinton's campaign for not going to the states she needed to win.
If it gets Bannon out, I will totally take Pence. Yes, he's horrible. Trump and Bannon are just that horrible that Pence is actually still the preferable option. Trump won't do better than Pence anyways on anything and Pence at least is able to do foreign diplomacy and maybe not try to turn the country into a more fascist state.

That Stein regret is pretty tasty tbh
RCP showed single digit differences. Which is about right
But it feels so much better to rag on the incredibly small percentage of BernieBros who didn't vote for Clinton.
No breakdown per state. Just along age/race and ideology. Not even a region.
You would get quite a different result from polling in a majority of blue states vs a majority of red states. The poll only featured 712 respondents so wouldn't be hard to get a bias either way, especially with not showing where the respondents came from.
Poll breakdown by ideology was 39 Democraft, 31 Republican, 30 other.

Untrue. Pence is a run of the mill shitty Republican however he understands the concept of political capital and isn't an unstable narcissist that makes potentially war threatening tweets at 2AM because someone said something mean. Trump is worse for America. worse for the world. Trump and his puppet masters are dangerous beyond typical conservative regressive policies and they don't stand in the way of those policies anyway.
Why not both? All the Trump voters dont get a pass either, but many of them are lost causes.
I thought the polls were messed up because of overwhelming support from rural whites and suppression of minority voters
Edit: also the comey letter probably effected it a bit.

Been seeing a lot more more bitching about Bernie than Clinton's own mess of a campaign, of which numerous articles were written in the days after the result.
I'm still pissed at Clinton. I assumed she had far more campaign competence than she did.

Yep. I'd take a stable evil prick over an unstable one any day. Don't think Pence would keep Bannon around either.
Because they are statistically insignificant, just like the HillaryIs44 nutjobs in 2008 were. People are swinging at nothing.

She was going to lose regardless. All the people who could've voted for her don't live in rural areas.yall had that fucking chance and you threw it away. BYE

Yes, that is something that we have learned. Something society needs to find a solution for or we are seriously doomed.

Well, you can't. You probably have an education, credentials, or at least a modicum of respectability. You have to specifically be a carnival barker or snake oil salesman--not due to requiring those skill sets, mind, but just because that chunk of Americans (which is less than half, as it's a subset of a subset, mind) are actively seeking them out as opinion leaders for some asinine reason.

Trump is rocking the boat. Regardless of the actual policies, just how active he has been in these first few weeks is throwing off politicians and constituents alike.
A large portion of Trump Supporters have drank the kool-aid and are firmly in the Cult of Trump. They could say that the sky was red and his cult would believe them.

Please explain to me the reasons that aren't classifiable as racism that could cause a majority of a demographic (Trump voters) to believe a massacre that the united states government lied about is a valid reason to impose an immigration and refugee ban.
Given how utterly shredded the statement of its existence was I refuse to believe ignorance is an acceptable answer, and I believe willful ignorance where you only accept information from compromised sources equates largely to racism anyway.

Hillary already had the popular vote, so it's not a big surprise that most people would rather have Hillary.
Congress determines what that is, in practice. I mean, if we considered lying about oral sex an impeachable offense, then Donald Trump is probably done a hell of a lot worse. If a Democrat pulled a stunt like that Yemen assault in this putrid environment, they'd be in a lot of trouble over it to be sure.
What it really in entails, I guess, is whether enough Republicans feel threatened by what President Trump does next in order to try to get rid of him.

Pence is a more level headed person. I trust Pence not to push the nuke button the moment a foreign dignitary slights him.

If only there was some way we could have known he'd be woefully incompetent before electing him.....fucking idiots.

during all 3 weeks he's been in office I doubt he's read anything that long.
