    Gah! Why does everyone bring this up? Was no one around in October 2016?!

    James Comey, Director FBI, publicly announced they were reopening the investigation into Clinton’s emails, 3 weeks before the election.

    Liberals are always saying, “But her emails, hurr!” Yes, her emails. This was explosive news and handed the election to Trump. Doesn’t matter that Clinton later faced no consequences, all the public heard was, “Meh. Maybe she is a criminal. We’re having another look.”

    The polls were right, Clinton would have won if not for this absolute bombshell at the 11th hour.

      The polls still had her winning up to election night.

      These poll numbers are at best worthless, and at worse they’ll make people not vote because it appears that Harris has it in the bag.

        Eh sort of. She was favored to win but the odds weren’t a clear dunk peopre keep insisting.
