    I remember polls that said Hillary was going to win hands down. Polls are fucking useless.

      The betting odds always had Trump at ~30% victory, which was way more realistic. My stats prof bet thousands on Trump, and made it very clear to the class it wasn’t because he wanted Trump to win, but simply because the polls don’t give a percent chance indicator.
