This comment was posted over at Scott Adam’s blog. I think it pertains to this topic as well, because those against Trump had and have a massive blind spot.
Willfully blind, or not, they simply couldn’t comprehend what was a happening as evidenced by these blog headlines.
Like the people standing on the beach looking at the approaching tsunami with their binoculars.
Nate Silver! Check out a look back at HIS predictions! (From Current Affairs): “I wonder how much of the Trump Bump is just voters trolling pollsters,” Two Good Reasons Not To Take the Donald Trump ‘Surge’ Seriously — July 16, 2015. “Basically Trump is the Nickelback of presidential candidates. Disliked by most, super popular with a few.” — July 28, 2015
“PREDICTION: Trump won’t be the Republican /nominee.” — Aug. 6, 2015
“Media: Trump’s doing great! Nerds: No. Those polls don’t mean what you think. Media: A new poll shows Trump doing great! Proved you wrong!” — Aug. 9, 2015
“Donald Trump is winning the polls and losing the nomination.” — Aug. 11, 2015
“About 25% of Americans identify as Republican. Donald Trump’s getting about 25% of that 25% in the polls. Why is this impressive to people?” — Nov. 19, 201 5
“Dear media, Please stop freaking out about Donald Trump’s polls.” — Nov. 23, 2015.
“As for me, I remain quite skeptical of Trump’s chances. I also think his nomination would be an unmitigated catastrophe for Republicans.” — Nov. 29, 2015
“Idea that ‘Trump would win an election today’ also dubious. If election were today, voters would be more informed and news cycle different.” — Dec. 4, 2015
(in response to Rupert Murdoch tweeting that Trump’s “cross-party appeal” was a “winning strategy”): “Actually, Trump is by far the least popular Republican with independents (and Democrats)”— Jan. 15, 2016. (Yes, dictate to a wisened media mogul, Nate, who happened to be picking up on a trend.)
“Wait it’s just now sinking in that Trump might be a wee bit problematic as a general election candidate?” — March 20, 2016
“Trump’s general elex numbers have been terrible since he launched bid. Media barely noticed during 2015 Trumpmania.” — March 29, 2016
“[Idea of Trump being presumptive nominee by mid-May] is delusional. Math doesn’t work.” — April 9, 2016
“The bad news for Trump is that a poll showing him 5 points down is considered good news for Trump.” — June 26, 2016
“Perhaps the worst take is the ‘Trump’s actually doing well to only be down by 7!!!’ take. He’s the least popular major-party nominee ever.” — Aug. 3, 2016 “Trump has been super unpopular with the November electorate pretty much forever.” — Aug. 16, 2016
“Trump is doubling down on a losing strategy.” — Aug. 18, 2016
“[The] most delusional part of Trump thinking he has a silent majority is how small a fraction of the population he’s even bothering to appeal to.” — Aug. 13, 2016
