If you followed the live chat for NYT, they were very conservative about calling out states and waited for confirmation from multiple sources. Politico updated at a quicker pace. I was switching back and forth between the two.
A bean counter at a local hospital sent out an email to everyone that explained the cost in lost productivity for each "reply all" email was $0.08 per person. Not surprisingly, someone hit the "reply all" button to respond that the bean counter's email cost the hospital $800 in lost productivity. It went downhill from there. Not sure if the tab was $80,000 or $800,000 in lost productivity when everyone stopped hitting "reply all" button. Executive management wasn't amused.
No, "data" based on a subset of data chosen specifically to back Clinton, purported to show that.
Uh, no. The data was all the scientific-based polling data that was publicly available for months. No one was cherry picking the data.
Trump had several paths to win. He could have won without any one of those that you listed, as I pointed out.
Which doesn't change the fact that he needed — and won — Florida (could go either way), Ohio (every Republican candidate has to win) and Pennsylvania (which George H.W. Bush carried in 1988). No one predicted Wisconsin and several other states flipping for Trump to break the Democratic firewall.
The data was all spin. It was all made up. It never reflected reality in any way.
As we say in California, "What are you smoking and where can I get some?"
Microsoft Research is so important that Microsoft closed the research campus in Silicon Valley. I had a job interview there a few years ago. Either the place was extremely busy that no one left their cubicle or it was dead, dead and dead. Walk down a few blocks, you can lunch time crowd of Googlers walking with the unicorns. I'll take Google job over Microsoft job any day.
It always boggles my mind when people who abuse computers for financial gain face harsher sentences than so many rapist and murderers (not exclusive).
The host for a local radio talk show five years ago talked about a man who got a longer prison term for having sex with a dog than a child. Parents called in outraged that a dog was worth more than a child. Animal right activists called in outraged that a child was worth more than a dog and the man didn't get the death penalty. The host let it go downhill from there. And that was on Christmas Eve!
Whenever a friend complains about the ailments of life, I quickly remind them that death comes ever closer every minute. There are better things to do than complain about life.
I doubt that the Congressional Republicans can agree among themselves what they want to do with running the government. They haven't been able to do that under Obama for eight years. As a moderate conservative, I expect some bloodletting between the different factions.
I wonder how California would feel after it's secession when we cut their fucking water off. That State drains water from all their neighbors. Good luck growing almonds.
You're aware that California grows 2/3 of the US crops? California water needs would drastically shrink if we didn't have to feed the rest of the world.
I read Trump has absolutely zero candidates to draw on for preparing the transition of the security and intelligence apparatus. No experienced national security personnel wants to work for his administration.
Trump doesn't have a national security team in place. The conservatives who work in national security are having moral qualms about working for a person who is so overwhelmingly unqualified.
Grow up idiot. You may prefer guilty until proven innocent. And you might believe rumors and heresy to evidence. But that is not what america was founded on.
Why don't you develop a sense of humor and re-read my comment?
You are obviously not a true american. Maybe we should say you are doing something illegal and put you in jail without a trial. You pitiful child.
You obviously have a reading disability. Or you're being willfully stupid. I can't decide which.
So it seems there were more possibilities than you said. Also remember that in addition to the really close red states, there are a couple really close blue states too.
Based on data PRIOR TO THE ELECTION, Trump only had one path to win: Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He got all three and won the election.

The fake news site? The New York Times...

You mean the NYT that wrote anti-Hillary stories and praised Trump without fact checking?
Otherwise known as the right-wing echo chamber.

Funny. That's what they said about Obama.

That's not technically true.
Whenever a friend complains about the ailments of life, I quickly remind them that death comes ever closer every minute. There are better things to do than complain about life.
Each minute brings you closer to death.
I doubt that the Congressional Republicans can agree among themselves what they want to do with running the government. They haven't been able to do that under Obama for eight years. As a moderate conservative, I expect some bloodletting between the different factions.
But it's only "evil" when Trump is involved in something.
I'm sure some Republicans thought Nixon was evil for opening relations with Communist China.
That's what they say on Planet Texas, where everything is YUUGE!
My favorite was probably anti-Obamacare threats to move to Canada. Someone didn't think that one through.
If a push comes to a shove, I would move to Australia. The Aussie women are so hot.
Maybe we could sell California to the Chinese in exchange for forgiving their share of the national debt...
Why sell California so cheap? The largest holder of US debt is the Social Security Trust Fund.

This is California, not Texas.

The MARKET tanked for a little while due to the surprise win by Trump. The MARKET has since recovered, and is UP.
DOW is UP, S&P is UP.
It would help if you replied to the right comment.
Don't be a dick. And seriously, don't use a fucking Forbes blog page to prove your point

I thought they were all RINOed into extinction by now.
I switched my party registration to Democratic over year ago after I got tired of being called a RINO.
