No. Just no. Reagan had many years of government service and actually appointed fairly moderate justices. I voted for him. GWB was worse, but he is not a complete buffoon. International markets are already tanking.

Not the same, not the same at all. I'm old enough to have been through those elections. That was disappointment. This is horror.

Which is why polls are based on inaccurate assumptions that we really can't use in the future.

NP. Can you explain this at an elementary school level?
Where does the data come from that's used in data mining?

Oh, you mean a label like "deplorables?"

Respectfully? Mostly not.
I think you have us mixed up with liberals. We really do want a united America. Get over it and lets move on.

The poll methods are the least of our worries.

Pollsters fucked up.
It will be interesting to see how polling changes in the future. I think their assumptions about what kind of information they can get is deeply flawed and inaccurate, and polling won't be the tool it once was in the future. I suspect we'll see data mining replacing polling in the next election.
