(34,120 posts)I could not go there with him. I appreciated what he was saying and doing but too worried to let myself believe until the very end. Right before the vote, maybe a week before I started to think it was OK to feel like that.
I like him and I hope he gets a lot of good feeling for hitting this one right on the nose.

(25,623 posts)as far as I know that hasn't happened. Now the blue tsunami has become a blue wall in his tweets.

(92,403 posts)is over-rated. Romney never became "President Romney" as he predicted, and his proclamation that "a vote for Gore was a vote for bush", was asinine.
Gee, he predicted trump would win in 2016. That happened because the jackass comey released a letter to the republicans in congress 11 days before the election, that they were examining another laptop, and the illustrious media MISREPORTED that the email investigation was reopened. That was a LIE, and the illustrious media then paraded every right wing pundit across the idiot tube propagating that lie for the next 7 days.
The lead 4-5 point lead that Hillary had was completely erased after that fiasco.
Late Friday, the weekend before the election, Comey quietly said nothing new was found, and disappeared from the scene.
It had nothing to do with Moore's prediction, and everything to do with Comey

(25,623 posts)it again. Many of his reasons for Trump's win were wrong (in his "Five Reasons Why Trump Will Win" article). He ignored the Comey letter and social media flooded with conspiracy theories and disinformation after the election, didn't believe in Russian interference, promoted the conspiracy theory that Democrats rig primary elections. At least he did mention angry white men.
The mistaken belief that '90s trade deals (blame Clinton, both of them) caused manufacturing jobs to suddenly disappear. Manufacturing jobs peaked in the '60s and began disappearing in the '70s. The myth that the TPP was some sort of diabolical Democratic plan to screw American workers. That Democrats abandoned the working class because all they care about is money: "just looking to rub one out with a lobbyist from Goldman Sachs." Wall Street Wall Street Wall Street. Myth that Democrats abandoned unions for Wall Street money. After all these years of accusing Democrats of corruption, what evidence is there of that and that they ignore the working class? None.
Moore had no problem supporting John Kerry for president when he ran, but when Hillary voted the same way: "Her vote for the Iraq War made me promise her that I will never vote for her again." She's a big war hawk who "will find a way to get us in some kind of military action." Hillary personally caused the Iraq War and loss of American manufacturing jobs and is unpopular so that's why Trump will win.
Okay then.

(18,672 posts)That he's been more accurate than the pollsters. I don't know if it's because he is talking to real people out there or has a knack. I tend to go with his predictions. I'm guessing a blue tsunami knocked the red wave and turned it into an orange fart ripping the water in the bottom of a gold toilet bowl. The red wave is essentially what the GOP were counting on due to their own shenanigans with gerrymandering, voter suppression, knocking eligible voters off the rolls, messing with mail in ballots in a few states and I suspect some other forms of chicanery we've yet to uncover.
