What a horrible message . It doesn ' t matter if you have all the other qualifications in spades , if you ' ve worked your whole life for the ideals you believe in , if you aren ' t charismatic enough you won ' t win . I personally think Hillary is charismatic , but she has to work so hard to look strong but not too strong and caring but not too caring that it seems too calculated . <| sep |> It still isn ' t going to be very good <| sep |> I ' d say they were . At best , Trump had a 28 % chance of winning , at best . If we keep saying polls weren ' t that wrong , then we forego the discussions we need to have about silent Trump supporters . A while back , there was a black guy and a white guy running for a seat and it was sort of back when blacks weren ' t politicians because they couldn ' t get elected ever , racism , etc . Well all the polls said he was going to win in a landslide , but come election day , boom he lost spectacularly . Speculating on why , they came to the conclusion that people didn ' t want to seem racist for the poll so they said the black guy , but wen they voted , they voted for the white guy . Same thing hereyou can ' t poll properly when one candidate ' s supporters are ostracized . I mean , everyone at work thought I was a hard on Trump supporter just because I didn ' t loathe the guy . tldr polls were wrong , and we need to make sure they know they were wrong so they ' ll go back and look at the data and come up with ways to adapt and evolve alongside the changing population .
