It’s looking like 2012 again, where the pollsters spent the spring and summer confidently telling folks that while Romney was trailing in virtually every poll that things would tighten up after the conventions when the “Rally ‘Round The Flag” effect took hold and it would be a nail-biter to the very end. Any time a poll came up showing Obama confidently ahead, they’d talk about demographics and voter enthusiasm being against him and that led to the BS about “unskewed polls.”

So what happened? Election Night came, Obama won confidently, and the stories the next morning were about how Romney had so bought into the pollster BS that he hadn’t even bothered writing a concession speech.

And the fact that 40% of the Republicans in SC actually went out of their way to vote against Trump should be worrying to his campaign.
