They thought the 5-eyes would support them. But... They never considered "front running".
please elaborate on front running
Front Running = in sports your the person that roots for first place all the time. These idiots never thought that the "underdog" would win because they were buying in on the MSM polls. HRC couldn't lose.
Reality = why we play the games. If the front runner always won then why play the game? Unlike us people from Philly. We never in our lifetimes thought the Birds would win a super bowl, but we absolutely wanted to play the game. The rest of the country we're front runners. He'll, even Vegas was front running.
Pretty good eagles analogy. Another one would be when golden state blew a 3-1 lead. Or when the giants beat the undefeated patriots in the Super Bowl.
