They were portraying confidence before Tuesday, because that's just what you do to get the vote out and support your guy.
That is normal. And now Dick Morris has admitted to it.
This whole 'surprised' business at the moment they lost and up to now is just an act to save face and placate donors and their sheep voters.
As usual, they are lying. I suppose that the Romney family was 'surprised' because they are self-entitled pricks.
But none... NONE of the GOP Hierarchy, Fox News Propaganda Machine, or the Super PACs were surprised.
It's an act.
