Trump is all talk. He's in real estate. He's continually trying to sell the sizzle and not the sub-premium steak. He exaggerates everything. He even upped the heat of day in Arizona to make it sound like he was tough. He likes to brag about the size of his crowds and his Electoral College victory and his Virginia winery, despite his boasts being easily disproved.

I went back and checked the Globe's coverage. They did not guarantee a Clinton victory. They went over the odds and reported that the polls were tightening as election night approached and pointed out which states Trump needed to flip to win. Trump did lose the popular vote and only won the Electoral college because three states narrowly went for him when they'd been polling for Clinton earlier. (Although Michael Moore successfully predicted this crazy flip in Michigan.)
