1. Michael Moore was all over..

...the bullshit, and nobody gave him
the time of day. Called tRump in '16
when everyone else was wrong then
also too...

2. Yeah, I read his articles

And he was warning against the red mirage regularly.

4. I was one of those ppl. I really thought this time he was just saying it to get back on the talk

Shows…
I was wrong..apologies to MM!

7. I felt better when I read Michael's assessment

yes indeed

3. I swear I'm gonna bookmark this for '24. So when a pollster or someone here starts in

about what 538 or RCP is showing I can just remind ppl. Not shoving it in someone’s face and it isn’t an I told you so…It’s just so much angst and for what?

But..just watch the next few weeks, “the polls” will be back at it talking about how ppl don’t want President Biden to run.

6. So many good points.. Dodds was a shock to so many then dismissed by pundits

[BigmanPigman]

8. I've been saying. "Ignore the polls"

for weeks and weeks. I really appreciated what Moore said since no one else seemed to agree with me. I had to force myself to change the TV channels whenever a poll or red wave prediction was made. I tried not to read posts where a poll was mentioned too. My gut instincts were spot on. I should listen to them more often.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I often wondered if the naysayers had an agenda

As McConnell, of all people, said - the Republicans sure nominated some terrible candidates. So glad that the voters saw them for what they were - for the most part. And I only say that because we're still stuck with a couple of the worst here in NY-21.
