2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThose darn polls
Please don't bash - while I am acutely aware that those darn poll numbers are propped up hype, each day at Daily Kis and Nate Sulver 538 Hillary slips a bit and tRump gains. Bogus or not, they shape and shake the psyche.
I'm wondering if and or when this "trend" will start shifting back to where Hillary was in the mid 80's and tRump was bare touching 20%. Or will MSM keep hammering til those darn poll numbers "consistently" show a 50/50 trend. I don't mean the likely voters but likely to win.
I know Hillary has a huge electoral edge, but these shape-shifting numbers cause me great angst.

(1,643 posts)But real or fabricated, there are a lot of Hillary haters out there, and a lot of people who are very apathetic. I do worry that those two forces, plus all the awful shenanigans being played out will lead us down an awful path. I just want to see more certainty in the accurate polling numbers, and of course more accurate reporting about all of Trump's lies.

(508 posts)I, too, feel the anxiety. There are INDEED a lot of Hillary haters out there. But stay strong and vote. We will prevail.

(3,897 posts)I mean maybe she is actually concerned here, and not an undercover "concern troll." Her (new) name is FarmGirl1961. Seems legit. Amirite?
Pat her on the head and reassuringly tell her everything will be alright before she freaks out.

(1,643 posts)Just concerned citizen that sees a lot of trash being spewed at Hillary Clinton. I am concerned that a lot of people have missed construed hatred of Hillary and that the media is doing nothing more than feeding that hatred frenzy.

(711 posts)50/50 for most of my life, so it always feels like a nailbiter.
If you're new to elections, just remember, since Bill Clinton won his first election, almost 25 years ago, there's only been one time that a Republican has won the popular vote. That's a comforting thought.
I'm not all blue roses and butterflies at the moment, but I'm not at all worried, either. Not counting the buffoon in the red hat, it seems like a typical election.
