(16,646 posts)I unfortunately know those people. They are "Reagan Democrats". They are low information voters. Micheal Moore saw it coming. There were several people begging the campaign to get back to MI, WI, even PA because of what they saw going on. But the campaign missed it because they were relying upon polling data that was about a week old, and the letter had it changing fast.
538 warned in the closing day that it was getting risky for HRC. Truth is, in March, when she basically had it wrapped up for most nominal paths forward, polling showed her very vulnerable in the general election. The Russians and the Trump campaign knew where their most fertile ground was and they worked it hard. Even in the end, most of the Trump campaign were updating their resumes to get ready for when he lost. They were as surprised as anyone.
