And?Nope, the polls were not way off. They ultimately predicted Hillary would win the popular vote by 3.2 points and she won by 2.1 points.The polls were way off and your point is not relevant anyway. The mere fact Trump was there with 2 weeks left shows you that the problem was already rooted deep in US politics. Comey was at the END - more the straw that broke the camel's back.With two weeks to go before the election, Hillary enjoyed a double-digit lead in the polls. Then Comey announced he was re-opening the investigation into her email server and that lead evaporated by election day.Ha, Comey was a late stage thing. Trump - and this circus you are finding on the left candidate pool now as well - is a direct consequence of the system getting so dysfunctional that no one trusts it any longer.Comey gave us Trump, not Congressional in-fighting. Don’t kid yourself.No, I really do not. Mostly I would like both parties to stop acting like children long enough to actually function in a reasonable manner.
You, OTOH, seem to like the playground 'you did it too' mentality that justifies, quite literally, any piss poor actions they may take. Where did that get us? Trump.
If you think Comey single-handedly took our election system and primed it for Trump then you are being willfully ignorant.
Popular vote is utterly meaningless. They might as well have taken a poll on the number of bushes you have in your front yard - it has the same impact on the presidential race. Polls for the presidency ARE NOT BASED ON POPULAR VOTE - just asinine 'news' stories that want to talk about the election. Predictions on the outcome of the race are based on STATE POLLING. State polling that was off to one side by a significant margin.
This sad BS line that the polls were correct after all is nothing more than pollsters wanting to restore their credibility after getting things so fucked up last time.
