      On Halloween I had a friend I thought was fairly Democratic say he was close to voting for Trump and that’s when I felt the dread.

      Reminds me of 2016. All the polls and guesses were Hillary had it in the bag. Woke up that morning feeling like someone sucker punched me.

      I’ve been wary of predictions since then if for nothing else than to save me from developing a drinking problem to cope. Expect the worst and you’ll never be surprised.

        We’ll have to see what happens when the final numbers come in, but I suspect the polls had it more wrong this time than in 2016. They actually weren’t that far off at that time. People forget that Hillary did actually win the popular vote, and the national polls were within margin of error. That might not be the case this time.
