Looking back at my election-morning edit, I went a total of 48 out of 50, missing only PA and WI (and WI wasn't even considered a swing state). So that is 13 out of 14 of the swing states. Not too shabby :8)

Ok I'm officially done bragging.

Dude you deserved to brag a bit. You saw something very few people did. I am too lazy to go find a hat tipping smiley to insert but just pretend.

I think in hind-site the polls were wrong in part because some Trump voters were hiding in the closet.

I have some evidence that a lot of voters were undecided on the day of... No poll could react that quick.

Hillary boo-boo'd by "relaxing" a few weeks out and started campaigning for others instead of herself.

I'm sure they was plenty of that too. But its a bit easier to bake "undecided" in to the poll numbers than it is people in the closet. Of course some "undecideds" may have been closet Trumpsters.

Some and perhaps many physicians don't think that HDRC was relaxing so much the last few weeks as she was being treated for whatever conditions she may have, and trying to come up with a medication combination that would sustain her health. While Pinsky and Noel didn't agree on what her condition was/is, they both brought some good theories to the forefront. On some level, she must be relieved that she can relax now. I developed a true compassion for her state of health in the last few weeks of the campaign. The outcome may have spared us from getting Kaine sooner or later. And she can devote her time to her health.

And apparently some Hillary voters were also hiding, but chose to stay that way. Or thought she had it in the bag and figured they didn't need to make the trek to the polls.
