2016 Electoral Predictions thread (spoiler alert: we were all wrong)

I'm just amusing myself with my old hubris. Predictions from August 2016

Good for a laugh, if you don't mind the gallows humor.

Hope is like a flower, tho. Sometimes it seems dead. But the spring and the rain and the sunshine always bring it back

Hold on, wherever you are. We ain't done yet.

Help is on the way. I'm in deep red Texas and this year we turned the biggest county in the state a deep velvety blue. This state usually votes 58-60% Republican. Trump only got 53%. Things are changing in our direction.

Hold on. We've only begun to fight.

5. The misbegotten Electoral College needs to go. Hillary WON by a million-plus votes.

I've been telling people that ever since I got back in here.

(but I still find the predictions funny; esp mine!)
