More on Trump

It is a Trump world and as the Modi saying goes

“Aab Ki Baar Trump Sarkar”

and as the Stump for Trump Sisters say

"Get on the Trump Train or get the hell out of the way"

Rock'n'roll

Those are not predictions that Trump would win.

Not even Trump believed he would win, FGS.

Did you hear from him about election night?

'I think Claig, your point is thoroughly disproved.'

Yes, lost of mainstream media journalists and BBC political reporters said that Trump would win the election, you are right, I was wrong.

He is not a journalist. I predicted he would win 15 months ago, Trump lost the faith.

Just to be clear:

Trump Says He Expected to Lose Election Because of Poll Results

www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-12-14/trump-says-he-expected-to-lose-election-because-of-poll-results

Apparently, Melania has a better crystal ball.

waiting for claig to say Trump was joking there

Trump wasn't sure. No one was sure. It ain't over till all the votes are counted.

I am only an observer and am not invested in the result.

Ah, imagine if you were. :)

But this was the original claim:
All the political journalists, decades in the job, in the middle of campaign trails and they still did not have an intuition that something might go wrong for Hilllary .

It turns out a quite a few did.

Lweji · 19/12/2016 20:22

Trump wasn't sure. No one was sure. It ain't over till all the votes are counted.

So, you didn't actually predict anything, you were just lucky in your wishful thinking.

'It turns out a quite a few did.'

Which mainstrea media political journalists and TV reporters said that Trump would win because I would like to read their articles as they know what they are talking about?

Missswatch, is it won? I never trust the elites and their tricks. I think we have to wait until Jan 6th for more news.

Now that is telling. Smile

I'll repeat it:

"All the political journalists, decades in the job, in the middle of campaign trails and they still did not have an intuition that something might go wrong for Hilllary" .

It turns out a quite a few did.

I'll keep re-posting it if you keep taking my sentences out of context.

Meanwhile, harassment of Trump electors is getting REALLY bad now: Grin

Sorry.

't turns out a quite a few did.'

I believe you, I just wondered who they were so that I can read their articles as they are outliers and understand politics

Sean Hannity? That's just one American journalist. And Michael Moore thoroughly against Trump and yet he was smart enough to predict correctly for once.

I watched Sean Hannity throughout. He never predicted Trump would win, he hoped he would.

Plenty of people noticed that it was going to be a close election, and that things might go wrong for Clinton, even back in the primaries because she wasn't that popular with many Democrats and that Trump was building up a popular vote.

But it doesn't fit the narrative, so the goals change, just like who the elite are and who the people are.

You're right Darth, pity you weren't on the last 20 Trump threads, we could have used your knowledge, you sound like you know your stuff, real socialist style

I've posted two cases where journalists thought Trump could win, from only two searches on two newspapers. It's a 100% result on journalists who thought Trump could win.

Lweji · 19/12/2016 20:54

And repeating again the initial statement, for your pleasure:

But this was the original claim:
"All the political journalists, decades in the job, in the middle of campaign trails and they still did not have an intuition that something might go wrong for Hilllary" .

South wasn't talking about predictions that Trump would win, but that he might win.

I had a feeling there was a guy at the Spectator, and here he is - Delingpole. Cannot find other British journalists at the mo.

'thought Trump could win'

No I was talking about predictions, not he is improving in the polls and it is getting close. That is reading the polls and covering arse. That is not journalism

Professor Norpoth did predict it and the mainstream media should really consult next time as he got it right about 5 times in a row, but of course they won't consult him because he gets it right and they have to present a "rigged" view to their viewers, a BBC style view where they said Trump stood no chance
