Clinton, who held a narrow three-point lead in the polls over Donald Trump a week before the election according to a New York Times poll, found herself losing east coast and Rust Belt swing states so quickly that Trump’s victory became very likely early in the night.

Jonathan Day, another professor of political science, presented and expanded on the different instances of election modeling and polling that were widely used in 2016. “He himself said it was rigged election unless he won it”.
After media scrutiny, Vice President-elect Mike Pence took over the transition team from Christie and ordered that all lobbyists be cut from the team, which Trump supporters would take as a win, until they hear that the replacements for the old lobbyists are former lobbyists that worked for the firms that the first lobbyists now work for.
As the votes came in, at 7:15 Schale thought Clinton had the election “in the bag”. Angry people, stirred by demagoguery and convinced they’ve been robbed of their rightful power, are a real threat to the already-frayed fabric of our democracy.
That’s how finely balanced Florida is politically, Schale said.
“It’s important not to over-read this election”.
Clinton and the Democratic Party must do justice to the public will. The unpopularity of the two major candidates, the lack of well-functioning presidential campaigns here, no governor’s race on the ballot, no exciting ballot propositions. And, frankly, my party does not win races to the bottom.
“I want to focus on jobs, I want to focus on healthcare – and I want to focus on all these others thing we’ve been talking about and get the country straightened away”, Trump said when asked about hiring a special prosecutor.
In 2008, then President-Elect Obama had only named one Cabinet position by December 1 and still had multiple vacancies in his Cabinet at the start of January. She raised $7 million online for the effort. “Places like Pasco County, Barack Obama lost by 7,000 votes in 2008, she lost by 53,000”.
Clinton is under pressure to participate from her supporters, some of whom have struggled to accept the election results given her lead in the popular vote, which has grown to more than 2.3 million in the weeks after the November 8 election.
Thrust into a muddle of hope and despair, America’s political mess is simply a partial product of its renowned electoral system. Our politics are more unstable today than during two world wars, the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Era.
Getting there might be hard. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. The Democrats nominated the wrong candidate. Remember, he called you “a running dog lackey” or something like that.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday swept aside a challenge to her Democratic leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives by a congressman from a blue-collar district who warned the party has lost touch with working-class Americans.
Many foreign government and corporate leaders who wanted contact with Clinton learned they would get preference by making donations to the foundation. It is about time you understand that you cannot have everything your way. The website Politifact, for instance, finds that Obama has only delivered on 45% of the original campaign pledges he made back in 2008.
That opening was the fact that Democrats were taking for granted their above-national-average support from non-college-educated outstate voters in their determination to build a new, “ascendant” majority of blacks, Hispanics, single women and millennials.

For years the left has mocked the right for alleging voter fraud. “Not only because it’s a lie”.
