Yeah they're going to get more racisty either way. If they win, that strategy is validated and they'll be emboldened by the MANDATE. If they lose, they'll blame VOTER FRAUD and double down.

Hilary wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college badly due to poor internal polling.

My bold prediction is that Democrats do slightly better than expected because of young people not being adequately polled.

Probably not enough to win senate though.
So there you go, not so bold really.

GOP inexplicably outperforms lead-up and exit polls by 3-5% like they have every time since 1988. Talking heads will spitball a theory called The Reluctant Trump Voter and be done with it. The consortium will still refuse to release unadjusted exit polls.

Kirsten Gillibrand easily wins her Senate race in New York, but Hillary cashes in her Clinton in the Bank briefcase and takes the seat.

I think dems squeak both out in sub-2% margins. Certainly not the 13 or whatever Baldwin was up in polls by when I was made fun of in some other thread.

lmao

actual results: Baldwin wins by 11, running 6 points ahead of Walker's opponent

Yeah I can't wrap my head around that one. Tammy Baldwin is one of the most useless Senators in the country. I figured she'd just win by whatever the Evers margin was because people would show up to vote against Walker and take her along for the ride. I was right about part of that, but clearly I'm missing something about how great Tammy Baldwin is or how terrible Leah Vukmir was.

RIP Scott Walker though. You had a good run, but apparently 3 terms is too high a hill to climb unless you're the GOAT Tommy Thompson. He's the only one to ever do it in WI, though many have tried.
