“Dewey Defeats Truman” was an incorrect banner headline on the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune on November 3, 1948, the day after incumbent United States President Harry S. Truman won an upset victory over Republican challenger and Governor of New York Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential election.

What concerned me most during the run up to the election was the planned false reporting by the corporate media and some of the major internet sites.
+++++++++
I don’t think there was necessarily false reporting, it was a matter of responding to polls, according to the polls Hillary had leads all through the lead up to the Election check out Real Clear politics; fivethirtyeight.com ( who as recently as yesterday reported that she had a 71% chance of winning the Presidency) and an assorted number of pollsters. Her numbers started to drop after Comey’s letter and remained within the margin of error for the rest of the campaign. The only outfit that had Trump in the lead consistently was one by USC/LA Times which was ridiculed by other pollsters who claimed that its methodology was suspect. -

I almost hoped trump didnt win so that group of entitled idiots wouldnt come to canada but maybe immigration will not let them in.

@David
The Obamas were not able to translate their reported popularity to Hillary votes?
++++++++++
That’s one of life’s mysteries, when Clinton left the WH he had a high rating and the economy was motoring along, but GW Bush defeated Al Gore. The President’s party rarely gets a third term but they were hopeful that a candidate like Trump with so many negatives could be beaten.Recently I listened to an interview with US pollster John Zogby and he claimed that this Election was the death rattle of old white males who were fearful of all the demographic changes in the country, that demographic change was supposed to keep the Democrats in power this cycle.

The polls don’t lie, people do.
The Bradley effect was in effect. -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect
“The theory proposes that some voters who intend to vote for the white candidate would nonetheless tell pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for the non-white candidate. It was named after Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American who lost the 1982 California governor’s race despite being ahead in voter polls going into the elections.”
Some will say…..both candidates were white

Thats all folks life goes on, get over it

The Republicans held on to the Senate.

Thats all folks, life goes on, get on with it
Bad advice ac…. How do you get over life?
I know what you meant
-
So you mean
the media was wrong
the talking heads were wrong
the polls were wrongMB was right in selecting Trump
-
Everyone underestimated the Trumpeter…
His victory over the rest of the Republican field should have been a warning… -
Where is moneybrain and Georgie Porgie?

Projections,polls,expert opinions are all based on extrapolations based on historical information and what the user thinks really happened. So they can turn out to be right or wrong. It is slightly better yhan a bet. Do not stress over the out comes .

Why is Hillary refusing to concede?
Hillary Clinton refuses to concede election result despite Donald Trump being on the edge of victory

@ David3 :16 AM
I am wondering myself. My last check indicated that Trump has? 266 0f the Electoral College votes. He needs only 4 more.
-
……the ugly, evil face of hate in Trump’s America.
Pthe voters always get the government they deserve.
-
There are 3/4 billion people in the US….at least 40 percent are minorities, black, hispanic, asians, native americans, others. …of the other 60% who are Caucasian. ..50% are all racists…the US is a white majority country.
-
There are OVER 3/4 billion people in the US….300 million people.
-
At 3:31 a.m Donald Trump wins Wisconsin with its 10 Electoral College votes. He needed 4, He got 10.
President Trump.
The voice of the people has spoken.

Don’t panic, President Trump will take at least a year finding out how Washington DC works.
-
MoneyB and GP are gloating, until they are negatively affected..lol
-
HRC has conceded by phone to President elect Trump
-
Or drunk with happiness and whatever…
-
How are you doing Well, Well?
Was this election fixed?
-
Bajan…he also faces a court case in December for raping a 13 year old….him and the Clintons used to visit the rape island of the billionaire pimp.
Unless Trump promises the Clintons something to shut them up, we still have a long way to go….lol…complete with videos and voice recording, hope Trump’s impeachment is also within that 90 day window.
-
[…] What concerned me most during the run up to the election was the planned false reporting by the corporate media and some of the major internet sites. The election was always much closer than they were purposely misreporting, and only folks who had the opportunity to hear or read news from alternative sources that the election would be a dog fight and not a cake walk for Hillary – BU Commenter Bajan in NY […]
-
Trump grabbed them by the votes.
-
Simple…not so much fixed as much as hate and racism, 2 evils…are what won the election. This will not end well though fpr all the reasons we have seen over the last year…maybe it’s a good thing, the US will finally face it’s demonic and blighted past of being descended from thievery and criminality instead of continuing the 240 year old facade of pretense and respectability.
Am looking at the bright side..lol

If you play with your enemy things like this will happen.
Watch carefully as the world reels from this how Russia will start its move in the quiet of the night.
As I said before she spent too much time on Bernie.
That email server was her greed taking precedence over common sense
To leverage her title without sanction
The FBI incident on the weekend and the “He’s Got a Gun” and well there we have it.
THis should be a pointer to the BLP that it is a waste of time to wait in this exercise
One has to be constant and relentless.
Get all the dirt and start to release it slowly AND REPEATEDLY until like the constancy of a single drop on a mountain, it starts to whittle away at the currency of your political opponent.
The Barbadian populace is equally fickle and in a state of stasis much like the xenophobia and fear of things black drove this election and the votes of an America that has not changed and believes that america is for americans so to Mottley will need to dislodge the perception that she is a dictator in waiting.
When Santia Bradshaw came to talk about the vendors in Church Street or wherever she should have been the one that spoke extensively on the issue AND NOT MOTTLEY.
It must be seen as a team effort where ALL OF THE CANDIDATES HAVE SENSE and not just Mia Mottley.
Even if she prepares the speches and gives them what must come over to the people of barbados is that they are not all green behind their ears and just yes men.
THe recoil of such a perception is that people will believe that “it is Mia’s thing” and that she going tek over everything.
Look how she got the fellers cyan come pun BU no more to talk and express themselves
It is so clearly obvious.
My girlfriend feels that Mottley ….anyway i dun talk
If you play with serpents and adders they will sting you and kill you

@pieceuhderockyeahright November 9, 2016 at 4:08 AM “That email server was her greed taking precedence over common sense.”
Not greed but as the FBI director said “Extreme carelessness” and not just extreme carelessness, but arrogance and laziness. She had to have known that the State Department regulations (and she was head of the Department) mandate how classified cables/emails/phone calls/all communications should be handled. That is on State Department equipment. Only behind closed and combination locked doors. Only by fulled cleared American staff (never by any foreigner).
She was a new SECSTATE but the State regulations have existed even before she was born. She would have been instructed by experienced civil servants.
She knew better.
Laziness. Doing what was convenient rather that follow sometimes cumbersome regulations.
Arrogance. The rules to not apply to me because I am department head.
-
“So glad that bitch lost to her friend.”
A sentiment from one of my NY based daughters re Killary Clinton…lol
-
Piece…let’s just hope the black idiots in both the DLP & BLP political parties remember that Barbados is a BLACK MAJORITY country and the coming election is not a continuation of selling out the black majority to the 5% minorities…
that is the single biggest problem the people on the island face, backward, ignorant and greedy politicians of both political parties.
-
“She had to have known that the State Department regulations (and she was head of the Department) mandate how classified cables/emails/phone calls/all communications should be handled. That is on State Department equipment.”
Clinton is and will always be an arrogant pig, she hated that she lost the 08 elections to a black man, she was just asserting that she could do whatever she liked by compromising those servers and classifued information.
Why do you think Obama had to keep Clinton close to watch her, he knows she is evil…keep ya enemies closer.
I only wanted her to win so she could be impeached, now Trump has won, I am waiting for his comeuppance.

Trump is an awful KKK sympathiser, but he is preferable to the conniving, ethically dubious, objectionable Clinton. Go back to Bill’ presidency, go back 2008 and read about Bill’ contemptuous comments about Obama. Let the Clinton go back in to their box.
Trump is a loose cannon, hold on for the white knuckle ride. -

Trump is a loose cannon, hold on for the white knuckle rideTrump might be a loose cannon but loose cannons need ammunition to fire and though Mr trump behaves like a clown he couldn’t have been the jackass we think he is to be that successful in life wealthy father or not for others like the prodigal son are known to squander their inheritance and the President alone does not hold the codes to the nuclear arsenal and he needs a compliant congress to push his agenda so Mr Trump’s election ramblings would now be confined to the waste paper basket.
So has been the Democratic party up until recently with a senior member Mr Robert Byrd once holding the post of Grand wizard and never having been expelled from the democratic party. Give me a break Hal.

“I want my country back. I want the liberal-left establishment to be purged. I want an end to open-door immigration. I want jobs in the north of England. I want politicians to realise that populism is not a bad thing. I want an end to minorities getting priority over the majority. I could go on but I suspect you would stop reading. By the way, I’m a socialist too, I want my fellow working class to be at the front of the queue not shunted to the back.”What an interesting comment re minorities getting priority over the majority population….as been happening in Barbados for the last 50 years…..aided and abetted by stupid politicians. ..how aptly applicable to Barbados and the way the majority are treated..

“Make America Great Again”
This is the chant of the millions of racists and xenophobes but while one says that let us examine the concurrent theme that besieges all of us who are in the “Castle of My Skin”
A blogger commented somewhere on this blog recently that he challenged any one of us “Black Power?” proselytizers to point to any country in the world where blacks were a majority and where we ruled effectively efficiently and equitably
Even as 95% of this country we seem to put our well being into the hands of the 5% and are oblivious to the fact that we have the “power” to band together and to “Take (not Back for such would erroneously presume that it was once ours) Barbados ”
This coming General Election while it will see the same Washing out of the ruling administration STILL LEAVE THE PEOPLE POWERLESS.
This is indeed a pendulum for minorities in the United States of America cause the elites are still fully ensconced but now we shall see the real face of how that “Make America Great Again” is enacted against the niggers and minorities and latinos and whomever has been brought to the fore on the kill lists.
Here in Barbados what we will have is that token change to that Whatever of Hope (I cant even remember its name) but these masses will still be enslaved
“Long Live the New PM and long will she reign”
-
There is no doubt the pendulum swang but too far right. It willv take another 200 hundred years for it to be straighten again.
A country that is built on democracy and human rights now must explain itself to the world that it is no better than those it has crticized
No wonder Putin is smiling -
@charles skeete November 9, 2016 at 5:20 AM re “So has been the Democratic party up until recently with a senior member Mr Robert Byrd once holding the post of Grand wizard and never having been expelled from the democratic party. Give me a break Hal.”
Are you unaware or are you conveniently not focusing on the very public fact that in the last 15 -20 years of his life that Grand Wizard Byrd repudiated hate and racism and committed his life to ‘repenting’ and atoning for his very heinous years as a KKK racist provacateur.
Are you unaware or are you conveniently not focusing on the fact the NAACP still one of the preeminent Black orgs in the US honored and spoke warmly of Byrd for his work with Black causes during his end days!
And why highlight one who repented as a comparison to one who has not at anytime said a word of penance for his egregious racist past and current associations with persons who espouse a racially tinged narrative.
Amusing!

Wunna still cussing clinton wait she is no threat to the american democracy the picture has changed drastically the new actors are. Racism and bigotry. That is what america and clinton haters need to worry about.

Suck it up and get over it. I love when the phoney left wing liberal press gets destroyed. Last time was back in 1980 when RR got elected.once in a while the shit needs sweeping out from the corners.
-
Well Well when the world gives you lemons make lemonade. If you are quick you can probably snap up some fireworks at a discount price for next independance day display. Miley moving to canada Madonna giving democrats blowjobs if trump wins I heard Andreson Cooper say him to this is gonna be one interesting week.
-
Lawson…..you were one complaining about the Syrians, so how do you feel about a couple million yankees crossing the border and taking over your hood..lol…I don’t think you will mind.
I already sent out invitations for a million Americans to move into MoneyBs neighborhood in Rosedale,…lol, hahaha, lol
Madonna was always a retard, she should be forced to give every Trump supporter blowjobs…idiot.
Interesting is not the word to describe, we will be getting jokes for 4 straight years. -
Look Lawson…..Los Angeles got 20 or 30 million Angelinos right, we can send across 15 million to Canada…what do you think..lol
-
Charlie,
Amassing a fortune, especially an inherited fortune, is not a sign of being bright. Preserving wealth is important, but the problem with inequality is inheritance. That is why in Barbados we badly need an inheritance Act.
As to being a KKK sympathiser, that goes for the whole of Capitol Hill. He is no better or worse than the Clintons. Just look at Bill’s record as attorney general of Arkansas and around the formation of the so-called New Democrats. -
Lawson….I was laughing so hard I forgot to post the link….hahaha.

Who determines whether his apology is genuine or politically expedient given the acidity of his racist remarks and why is it that racial faux pas of Democrats are quickly forgiven whereas Republicans are held accountable in perpetuity
