It’s A Lock, Oh Wait…

158 words

I thought it would be funny to point out what I wrote after the third debate:

Anyway, at this point I would say the election’s a lock for Hillary, unless something really, really strange happens in the next few weeks. Or, you know, nobody shows up at the polls except Trump supporters. Or if there’s a secret conspiracy by Trump supporters to answer poll questions incorrectly. (I think that would be cool actually. I think it would be fun to teach kids in school to always answer poll questions with a blatant lie.)

Oh how naive we were.

A really, really strange thing did happen: James Comey started talking about those emails again.

And nobody but Trump supporters showed up at the polls.

And there was a secret conspiracy by Trump supporters to answer poll questions incorrectly.

So I guess I nailed that one, not even remotely thinking I would. I should make blind, random guesses more often.
