2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: how many people are losing sleep over the thought of Trump winning? [View all]no_hypocrisy
(46,310 posts)1. I'm trying to keep Zen about the whole experience.
I'm hoping the polls are wrong and manufactured. By that, I mean the numbers are pre-selected to be a false 42/41 by the media to gin up interest. OTOH I am concerned that Trump's numbers on polls could be artificially low if supporters won't admit they're voting for him -- and they show up to do just that on November 8.

As much as the media distorts things in Trump's favor, it stands to reason
