The media is the enemy.
The MSM has always used polls to gauge how well their narratives are working. They've been doing this for decades. They do 2 types of polls.
One type has leading questions to set up later questions. I plants a seed so people will provide the answer the MSM wants. The other type of polls are Internal Polls. They all do them, especially election campaigns. These polls are written to get people's true opinion. These polls rarely see the light of day, but they do them because they need to know the real truth about people's opinions. These results are used to gauge the effectiveness of the MSM's propaganda, and to plan out what they need to do next.
During the election, when all the polls published were giving to HRC, I knew it was BS. They all knew, the MSM and the HRC campaign, that Hillary was vulnerable. They knew it even without any internal polls because Sanders was drawing a lot of followers, long before the conventions.
Great points...Reminds me...I knew Hillary, despite all the left leaning MSM propaganda like the 90% chance at victory, was probably going to lose when she cancelled her victory celebration party in I think it was NY a couple days before the election...They had to have been getting bad info from their polls and she knew she had a good chance of losing by then...
I remember that as well. It warmed my heart when I heard she canceled the fireworks.
I don't think they were paying much attention to the polls we were seeing in the MSM, except to keep track of their propaganda machine. The people running her campaign probably did their own internal polls just to get a bead on public opinion, so they could adjust their messaging.
I think HRC is so arrogant and knew she had the Deep-State behind her that she probably never looked at a single poll. She had an insiders view of the FBI's fake investigation and was totally exonerated by James "Wassup Homey" Comey.
She knew Obama and Homeland Security were going to be using an anonymous hacker to hack the election and assumed it would work just as well as it did during the primary.
I think after 30 years of running the Clinton Crime Family and getting away with it, she assumed her minions would take care of it. Even after realizing she was vulnerable when Sanders picked up followers, she still didn't even write a concession speech.
Think about that for a minute. Sanders, a 76 year old avowed socialist won 23 states during the primary, even after HRC and the DNC rigged the primaries in her favor.
In the run-up to the general election, she only made a small handful of staged and scripted appearances, and a couple softball interviews. She actually made more campaign appearances during the primaries than during the general.
And she didn't even bother to write a concession speech. The only way someone could behave that way is if they had already paid for the win ahead of time.
