[as seen on tv]

Confirmation bias: media hq and pollsters are centered in deep blue locations (nyc, DC, LA), and live in a bubble.

I'll bet O'bummer is absolutely pissed tonight. LOL

"The idea is to signal that Trump's base is bigger than it appears because some backers — plagued by the scourge of political correctness, of course — feel they must criticize him publicly. The Trump campaign has even suggested that telephone polls underestimate the billionaire's support because some voters are afraid to admit to another person that they plan to vote for Trump."

Some of Trump's supporters were embarrassed to admit they planned to vote for him?

Dems lost blue collar workers and actually began believing their lies/propaganda,

Shocking. Shocking and speaking of polls I offer it as proof that President Obama's approval rating is not what they say it is.

the media is reporting that he eventually DID make a congratulatory call to Trump, at some point after 3am.

absolutely true - given how far off the presidential predictions were, its safe to assume that "Obama popularity" is a jacked up POS as well

I also heard this on tv last night. then one of the other networks took the opposite tack:

"I've never met a Trump supporter who wasn't eager to share their views with me"

That had to have hurt. I give Obama props. He could have pulled a Hillary and told everyone to sleep on it.

I imagine the President is disappointed, but my impression of him is that he is fairly even-keeled, and he probably prepared himself for this eventuality. I think it's also quite possible that a small part of him is perhaps pleased and relieved to witness at last the demise of the Clinton Cartel, which more than one Democrat was a bit weary of. For everything gained, something lost, and vice-versa.

The state-run mainstream media is over. Completely over. They went all in and lost.

My guess is Obama is wishing he'd encouraged Joe Biden to seek the nomination. Hillary probably is too this morning.

They can't lose their credibility because they never had any, but they could lose what little audience they had left.

Have you told the owners of the MSM that they are "over"?

mainstream media never gives up. NPR - this morning, during my communte - told listeners to reject Trump's conciliatory victory speech - that it was "insincere"

biden is not qualified to be president if he could be so easily intimidated by Team Hillary from becoming a candidate.

he would be too easily initimated by foreign powers, rather than taking a strong stand for American interests, when a conflict arose.

the networks forecast Obama vengeance in this way:

- ramp up the pace of presidential pardons for dangerous felons
- open the Mexican border to more illegals
- a slew of questionable executive orders which will tie up conservatives in court for years.

It did sound like it was written for him. But he quoted it well.

they are losing viewer ship. I turned on the tele to watch last night but I usually stick to the internet. My son didn't bother watching the tv with me, he stuck with the internet.

no politician writes the majority of their own speeches. Not Obama, not Trump, not Hillary. Trump wasn't using a teleprompter last night.

As the electoral college tide turned against Hillary last night, so did the network pundits who had praised her over the past year.

"Hillary is a bad candidate. She always sounds scripted and insincere"

At least Obama sounds sincere, most of the time.
