A Trump Landslide Predicted!

This guy is this election year's version of Dick Morris or Dean Chambers:

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/11/heres-polls-wrong-trump-will-win-landslide-polls/

It's no wonder the right wing lives in a bubble. That entire site is filled with factually wrong information and dream world scenarios for the right wing.

The pollsters say those states are a toss-up. But they’re wrong.

Here’s why:

Pollsters are wrong on the percentage of white voters relative to other voting groups.
Pollsters are ignoring the increased Republican turnout this year.
Pollsters are underestimating the numbers of Democrats voting for Trump – the “Trumpocrats.”
Statespoll.com has gone state-by-state and adjusted the polls for these factors. Each day, they publish realistic numbers for key states.


This is poll unskewing, folks. And it is hilariously wrong to do.

while simultaneously posting articles claiming the election is rigged. So your guy will win in a landslide, but the election is also rigged? I just can't with these idiots.
