The only reason the polls were wrong was because they reported what they wanted to hear. They didn’t want Trump to win, so they interpreted the data to favor crooked Hillary! She got what she paid for…..and what she deserves.
When only 55% of eligible voters cast their ballots and roughly half of those vote for either candidate you end up with a President elected by only a quarter of all votes.
Story line: FBI man tasked to investigate a violation of just one crime needing intent to be prosecutable. No subpoena power, begged for evidence from principals who then dragged the proceedings out for weeks. In the meantime, Attorney General meets husband of person under investigation at a deserted part of the “tarmac” of a small airport. They get caught conversing 30 minutes about their “grandchildren”. Both are attorneys and know about the conflict of interest, but had clandestine meeting anyway. AG did not report this breach until reported by Press. FBI man without direction from AG basically came before the public and listed umpteen reasons for negligent handling of secret evidence but arguably with no intent. Congress investigates and asks FBI man to notify it if further evidence surfaces. New evidence surfaces. FBI man makes good on pledge to Congress. Investigation shows no additional evidence and reports this to Congress. Principal loses election and blames FBI man of mishandling matter as one of the many reasons for loss. Question: if AG had convened a Grand Jury in the first place like she should have, would the outcome been different? Mix in Ruskies and Wiki Leaks and Voila, instant reason to say her opponent’s election was illegitimate. Washington it its best. You just can not make this stuff up.

Still meant she could lose, even if 90% had been a match.

Like how it was ‘reported’ ten days before the elections that there was a new inquest about her emails.
