Monday Hateboner: Esquire's Oral History of the Night America Became Great Again
This is like one of those solid seventh grade boners that strains your cordoroys.
Esquire talked to people about their thoughts before, during, and after The Incident. A few choice nuggets follow. Before:During -- but early, when they still thought it was a Hillary lay-up:
Dave Weigel, The Washington Post: I called Jeff Flake the Sunday before the election. I said, "I have one round of questions if Hillary wins, and one if Trump wins." And he just started laughing, saying, "Why would you bother asking the second one?" ... Ana Marie Cox, Crooked Media, formerly of MTV: I was staying at my in-laws' place in New York. They're Trump supporters. They weren’t in town, but my father-in-law made a joking bet with me. He said, "The next time we see each other, there will be a President Trump." I remember laughing at him.
David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker: I thought about, and actually wrote, an essay about "the first woman president," and the historical background of it all. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the suffragettes, the relationship with Frederick Douglass...a historical essay, clearly written in a mood of "at long last" and, yes, celebration. The idea was to press “post” on that piece, along with many other pieces by my colleagues at The New Yorker, the instant Clinton's victory was declared on TV. Bret Baier, Fox News chief political anchor: We got the exit polls at 5 p.m. in a big office on the executive floor. Rupert Murdoch and all the staff were there. It looked like we were going to call the race for Hillary Clinton at 10:30 or 11 p.m. Steve Bannon: The exit polls were horrific. It was brutal. I think we were close in Iowa and Ohio and everything else was just brutal. Losing everywhere. Florida, Pennsylvania. I mean, it looked like a landslide. ... Steve Bannon: Jared [Kushner] and I were out on this balcony in Trump Tower. We looked at it on Jared’s iPhone. And the numbers were so bad that we regrouped inside. We look at each other and we go, "This can’t be right. It just can't." And Jared goes, "I got an idea, let's call Drudge." And Drudge says, "The corporate media--they've always been wrong the entire time--these numbers are wrong." Steve Bannon: Drudge snapped us out of it, saying, "You guys are a couple of jamokes. Wait until the second exit polls come out, or later." We called the candidate and told him what the numbers were and what Drudge had said. And then we said, "Hey, ya know, we left it all on the field. Did everything we can do. Let's just see how it turns out." Brian Fallon: I was hearing from my high school principal, people I hadn't spoken to since college. Everybody is conveying thanks for taking on Trump. It was going to be a cathartic experience of him getting his comeuppance after months of representing something that was so egregious in the eyes of so many people. ... Ashley Parker: I walked over to the Hilton for election night. At some point they rolled in a cake that was like...a life-sized, very impressive rendering of Trump's head.During -- The Turn:
Reza Aslan, author and religious scholar: I thought, "Oh my God, how terrible are we that it's even this close?" Brian Fallon: As I was walking off the risers [at Javits], Jen Epstein, a Bloomberg reporter, grabbed my arm and said, "Are you guys nervous about Florida?" I gave her some sort of verbal shrug. Right after that I called into the boiler room and asked for a gut check. ...Isn't she supposed to be an independent journalist and wasn't she doing "hits" from alleged news organizations? Why are they instructing her to tell the audience "not to panic"? And then -- dread and despair:
Jim Margolis [political consultant and former adviser to Obama -- ace]: I finally called Steve Schale, who ran Florida for us in the Obama campaign. I said, "Steve, what's going on here? Is this just a lack of information?" He said, "I think you've got a problem." Ana Marie Cox: I did a couple of on-camera news hits where I was told, "What you need to do here is tell people not to panic." Meanwhile, I was panicking.
Trae Crowder, comedian and author: I felt very mad at liberals, you know, like my team. I was very upset with all of us for a lot of reasons. Rebecca Traister [New York magazine -- ace]: I felt so alone, I knew it was done. I was by myself on the floor. I started to cry. ... Rebecca Traister: I was thinking everything from, "I'm gonna have to rewrite my piece" to, "Can we stay in the U.S.?" I texted my husband, "Tell Rosie to go to bed. I don't want her to watch." ... Neal Brennan [comedian -- ace]: Slowly but surely it dawns on us. And I had said things like, "You know, I've heard that technically Republicans can never win another presidential election." I’m just saying dumb shit, all things I'd read on Politico or fuckin' The Atlantic or whatever. And then slowly but surely it happens. It's like we...it…fucking Hillary lost. ... Evan McMullin [wife-sharing enthusiast-- ace]: I looked at my staffers. In my mind's eye, they were all seated up against this wall. They were disappointed, they were afraid, all of that. I told them that I didn’t want to see any long faces. I told them to buck up. And it had no effect. ... Ana Marie Cox: A Muslim colleague of mine called his mother. She was worried he was going to be the victim of violence at any moment. A colleague who is gay and married was on the phone with her wife saying, "They're not going to take this damn ring away from me." ... Brian Fallon: Eventually there were conversations around the awkwardness. There started to be this pressure to concede even before AP called the race.Anyway, check the piece out. I note those last few quotes -- shouldn't they have learned from that night that valorizing, promoting, and propagating a socially-engineered state of emotional fragility was a bad thing, just like was thought for the 100,000 years of human history before the last five years? Yet they doubled down on emotional fragility.
Nate Silver: I felt like if the roles had been reversed, and if Clinton had been winning all of these states, that they wouldn't have been so slow to call it. In some ways, the slowness to call it reflected the stubbornness the media had the whole time about realizing that, actually, it was a pretty competitive election. ... Brian Fallon: We had this issue where the Javits Center needed us out by 3 a.m. The decision was made that someone had to come out and address the crowd. Zara Rahim: There were die-hard Hillary supporters that were like, "We're not going." Folks who were sobbing and literally couldn’t move because they were so distraught. I remember pieces of memorabilia on the floor, little Hillary pins and
I believe that she will win" placards. Rebecca Traister: People were throwing up. People were on the floor crying.

As of Monday evening, Silver's ever-shifting prediction model at the website FiveThirtyEight says Clinton currently has a 70 percent chance to beat Trump in Tuesday's election.
Reading the Esquire quotes from ole Nate, I'd say there's a whole helluva lot of revisionism goin' on there. A few weeks before, his 'model' gave Hail-illary an 81% chance.

I had a horrible experience that day, listening to a loud-mouth snowbird in my little corner of FL celebrating the soon-to-be coronation of her hillary. About 11 that night, I would have paid any amount of money to have known where she was, tracked her down, and laughed in her face.

Yes, I recall Scott Adams talking about a persuasion expert he referred to as "Godzilla" (?) consulting with the Clinton team to sow that fear in people.
It worked. My 14 year old niece (lives in blue state) had a total breakdown on election night and was screaming about how it is now OK for women to be assaulted on the streets, etc. That *is* nuts, but she didn't learn that from her parents (who are conservative).

Remembering the '012 election results, I got good and hammered that night, thinking the same thing would happen. At least if I was going to wake to a Preznit Hildabeast, I'd have a raging hangover to fit my mood.
I awoke to two surprises: a note from B'Gal saying "We Won!" and no hangover.
I sensed something in the air about two weeks before That Day when I started seeing more and more Trump yard signs and bumper stickers, but I didn't want to get my hopes up again only to have them crushed again.

My mom texted me and told me to switch to CBS. My parents were cracking up over the long faces around the desk. OMG. It was one of the best days of my life.
I hope I am lucky enough to live a very long life, so that when I hit 110, the press is asking me to recall what it was like when President Trump won the presidency.

----------------------
Because the Press and the Left (but I repeat myself) constantly talk about how ignorant American hicks are just moments away from slaughtering Muslims in droves because of Islamopobia. It's a constant drumbeat that's brought up again whenever there's another terror attack, and we get "reminded" by the press that we need to be vigilant against backlash attacks against the Islamic community.
If you believed the press, then there's a lynching of a follower of Islam at least once a week in the US. You might have a little trouble remembering the details, since you can't quite seem to recall reading or hearing about the actual incidents. But the press assures you that it's constantly going on.

Posted by: Insomniac at November 06, 2017 01:29 PM (NWiLs)
"You still think Trump wins tomorrow?"
Yep.
Turnout is the key variable. There's no scientific way to model this because the changes from 2012 are too stark, including because we have two candidates with ridiculously high negatives while we had one charismatic candidate the last time.
So I worked this by looking at 2012 actuals by cohort and then handicapping where I thought turnout would come out. My assumptions:
Black turnout will be down, and closer to where white non-college was in 2012. Trump will get 15%, not 7%. Black men will be reluctant to vote for the White Witch.
White non-college will be up in turnout and % for Trump. This by far the largest cohort. And it weights to many battleground states. This is my biggest driver. You don't have to move this one lever very much.
White college goes more for Hillary than Obama -- including because of suburban women -- but turnout can't get any higher than in 2012. Many who defect from the R party because Trump is a pussy grabber are mostly in Deep Blue states.
My biggest assumption is that Hispanics won't vote for Hillary much differently than they did for Obama. He may even do better than Romney. Hispanics are mostly in Deep Blue states. Cubans in Miami aren't Mexicans.
By using 2012 as a baseline I'm accepting a level of fraud for openers, especially in key cities like Philly.
The EC favors Trump because smaller states get more weight. He could easily win the EC while being down 2% in the popular vote.
Trump's messaging works well in swing states like OH, PA and MI. He's done well to date in FL. Riots in NC will help.
Trump has had recent positive momentum in the honest polls.
Pundits say that Trump must thread the needle to draw to an inside straight to climb up the insurmountable hill, but it's Hillary who has less room for error. If Trump wins FL and NC and start chilling the champagne. Pop the cork when he wins one more like PA or MI.

The gay thing really is confusing because Trump was in the travel and hospitality business and probably employed more gays than any other presidential candidate in history.

About 9 pm the state I was working on had their website crash, so I asked one of the guys for a link to the FL SOS. Trump had a slight lead.
I kept that link open while working the other state, and his lead, though slim, held. About 10 pm I started smiling.

had been winning all of these states, that they wouldn't have been so
slow to call it. In some ways, the slowness to call it reflected the
stubbornness the media had the whole time about realizing that,
actually, it was a pretty competitive election.
I remembered thinking, and posting, the same thing at the time. I remembered thinking there was simply no legit way The Beast was coming back in WI (which wasn't called until AFTER PA in spite of the fact Trump was like +3% there) and unless they were manufacturing votes at a frantic pace in Philly there was no way PA wasn't going Trump.
And that was like 11:30 PM. Wasn't for 3-more hours before it was called.

Except they weren't showing the part where the Japanese president dumped his entire box of food into the pond first and then Trump followed suit. So they've all had to go and delete and retract their freakout.

You know how when you're in a foreign country and you watch what your host is doing and follow his actions? Common sense stuff. Trump watched his host pour an entire box of koi food into the koi pond. When handed his box of koi food, he followed suit.
CNN... after careful editing... made it appear as if Trump was annoyed at feeding the fish slowly and simply emptied his box of koi food into the pond in one fell swoop.

That was unlikely, as Red states have a structural advantage in the EC. And because Hillary and her Mooks stupidly ran a campaign that alienated many Red states while running up votes in the Deep Blue.

And running up the score in Deep Blue didn't change the EC totals.

The best one is that New Yorker one linked in the piece, though. Read it for even more erection-inducing comedy.
"An American Tragedy"
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/
an-american-tragedy-2
"The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency is nothing less than a tragedy for the American republic, a tragedy for the Constitution, and a triumph for the forces, at home and abroad, of nativism, authoritarianism, misogyny, and racism. Trump's shocking victory, his ascension to the Presidency, is a sickening event in the history of the United States and liberal democracy. On January 20, 2017, we will bid farewell to the first African-American President-a man of integrity, dignity, and generous spirit..."
It goes on like that for a while. Don't miss it.
Your betters.

The polls that were being published pre 2016 were violently skewed. I don't know if they did that on purpose to get the "inevitable" thing cemented in everyone's mind, or that they thought they'd get black turnout for Hillary like they did for Faggy Barry, or if they were just stupid, but they were way off. In many cases they were giving Hillary a higher percentage of the voting population as democrat than what turned out for Obama.
If one corrected for their fantasy life where all women were democrats and blacks loved Hillary even more than Faggy Barry, then Trump was up. Also, Trump was campaigning behind the blue wall and by the election, Hillary had canceled her fireworks.
That morning, there was no line in my deep blue precinct. None. My husband said he was #22 and in the 20 years we've lived here he's usually #90 as he goes at exactly the same minute every election year.
Then I started watching the returns and monitoring the NYT app. Being a dork, when watching PA I knew that once Pittsburg and Philly were in and the other votes were all rednecks, there were not enough votes to elect Hillary.
I knew he'd won by 7. Called my relatives. They argued. I was right.
Oh, and my son (25) 24 at the time, knew he'd win the day he came down the escalator.

I recently watched a debate he did with Dinesh. After hearing Cenk's backstory--raised conservative but flipped allegiance because lefty brainwashing--I actually felt a little sorry for him. Sounds like he's like a lot of Asian libs, in their day-to-day reality live conservative but emotionally and at voting ballot think lefty.
Then he mocked Dinesh relentlessly for being branded a felon, even after Dinesh explained the hypocrisy and vindictiveness of the Obama era justice system. My feeling sorry for Cenk vanished pretty quickly.

The only time I really thought Trump was likely to win was right after Hillary collapsed. I thought it would continue to happen and it would have been nearly impossible to switch her out.
But on Election Day after Comey had just cleared Hillary I thought she would narrowly win. And then a few Republican/conservative pollsters were tweeting about the Exit polls showing the race was a blowout.
My wife was watching the news and said you had better come in here, we might have a late night. I didn't really believe it until Trump gave his speech saying Hillary had conceded.

In fairness, Ace is just a person prone to disappointment and emotions anyone else.
I wanted an actual credentialed conservative like Cruz and, honestly, by biggest hang-up with Trump came from dealing with Trump devotees that often attacked the rest of the Republican field with more vigor than they attacked leftists. It's natural when you deal with assholes to feel the need to push back a bit.
Ace, to his credit, got right with the program as did many of the rest of us. Myself, I went from giving money to Ted Cruz and arguing until I was blue in the face with Trump supporters online to opening a Trump campaign headquarters, but it took swallowing a big lump of pride that was lodged in my throat.

That was one of the polls I 'dug down' into the methodology as far as percentage of (R's) and (D's) and was pretty much satisfied. It showed the two campaigns ups and downs pretty much within a day or two. But the video appearing of Hillary on 9/11 took her down and she never recovered.

Which I think is the problem. These people are not, fundamentally, intelligent. There are many kinds of smart, several kinds of not-smart. The dominant "proressive/liberal/whatever" mindset today reflects a very, very stupid and ignorant take on the world, weaponized by bizarre and often vile instincts and values (authoritarianism, racism, power-madness, baseless resentment, envy).
But most ominous of all, the guardrails that were designed to prevent these people from ruining the country - the constitution and the institutions it created - are battered, broken in some places. Only inertia has, I think, prevented pretty thorough collapse by this point.

I didn't think my life, career and family as a whole would survey 4 more years of Bama, and I hoped that Romney would do it. Bama's reelection prolly killed my father. I think he just quit.
I knew with Trump, though, it wasn't about losing to Hillary gracefully like McStain and Romney, as it would have been with Jeb and Dondi. It was a punchers chances who hated losing.
I went to bed early to avoid the stress. I woke up early and turned no the Nets and there was confusion and total misery. I couldn't figure out what had happened. The my wife told me and we rejoiced.

And I was almost very wrong. I didn't expect the October surprise to be Pussygate and non-stop MSM pouring buckets of blood over Trump's head. I expected MSM to go Never Trump, but not to the degree. Between MSM in-kind contributions, and Hillary's spending, it was a $3 billion negative branding campaign, the largest in history.
This was absolutely co-ordinated with the Hillary campaign. She and her Mooks thought he couldn't possibly survive it. They just needed to step over his still smoldering corpse and walk into the White House.

I kept thinking there was going to be some big "mistake" and all the blue urban areas had not been counted yet, or something like that.
I thought if Trump won, it would be a narrow EV like he pulls off NH and Wisconsin along with Ohio and Florida.
I never dreamed he'd win Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Had it not been for McMullin, he almost also won Minnesota.

They have this ironclad view of reality--I should really say it's a delusional structure--that accepts no deviations. When matters ran straight off the script, they couldn't accept it. Still can't. They think it should have been Hil's coronation and their final victory. Everything they imagine coming for them is what they imagined doling out, pure and simple.

I agree. People don't want to admit it, but we've got royalty. These folks are connected, influential, etc., and don't have to have any type of ability or knowledge to vomit their opinions out to hundreds of thousands (millions, sometimes) of other even-less-intelligent and less-informed people.
It's disturbing, and arguably the main reason the Constitution included the passive defenses of the 2nd Amendment and the common folk being armed.
That's part of why that jewel is still so valuable, too.

She was losing her azz because of white male voters rejecting her bullshit.
They knew they'd lost there so they hoped that they could concentrate elsewhere and raise her vote totals.
Then they'd try an Al Gore and contest the election on the basis of her having more popular votes.

I was a big Cruz supporter but I was very apprehensive about whether he could win in the general election. In retrospect I'm not sure if that really was my uninfluenced opinion or whether that germ of an idea had been planted by apparatchiks of Paul Singer and other GOPe quislings.

After McCain and Romney, a lot of Republicans began to develop an expectation, almost like a dog that has been kicked too many times, of pain. I was like you, conditioned to expect disappointment.
I was so braced for defeat, in fact, that it I had resigned myself to it and was pretty comfortable with the inevitable, so I drank a few brews and hung out at the bar with some folks from the Trump HQ we had run for a few months. Watching returns was like watching a football game that you know your team is supposed to lose....and then they keep it close in the first quarter....and then hey we've got the lead at halftime....and then Shit! We just scored again.....and then F*ck, I think we are gonna win!!!.....and then Holy Hell just run the clock out! We Won!!!!

I was a Cruz supporter right up until he (Cruz) blamed the violence at Trump rallies on Trump instead of outside agitators, as had been reported online a week or two before then.
Then I started to notice the same people who hated Trump with a white-hot flame of passion were the same people who also hated me. That's when I started feeling a bit of kinship with Trump.

So look closely here. He and his staffers are depressed, afraid, and disappointed. They could not be cheered up. BY HILLARY LOSING THE ELECTION.
I can see going "well crap beat crap" and shrugging. I can see drinking heavily because there was no good outcome. But what I cannot see is an allegedly Republican group so disappointed by Hillary not winning that they mope around inconsolably.

Make no mistake, they were sure Hillary was winning. The Fusion GPS dossier, the illegal unmasking, etc was all done with the idea of destroying Trump and his family after the election. A president Hillary would have brought the full weight of the federal government down on Trump. Trump would have, at best, ended up penniless just from legal fees.
As for us? It's actually too chilling to contemplate what she would have done to us deplorables, but I guarantee she would have made Obama with the IRS tea party stuff look like a piker.

Of course he doesn't. The special interest groups who have been groomed to have a chip on their shoulder shriek hysterically that they are being slaughtered in the streets if they are told "No. We're not going to pander to you any more. You must follow the rules like everyone else". Fair treatment to them is like being sent to a concentration camp.

Ana Navarro, CNN commentator and Republican strategist: I schlepped my absentee ballot around with me for a month. It was getting pretty beat up inside my bag. I would open it up and look at it every now and then and say, "I'm not ready. I can't bring myself to vote for Hillary Clinton. Please, God, let something happen that I don't have to do this."

I knew Ted Cruz was road kill even though I liked what he was saying most of the time, so when it came down to him vs Trump I had to back Trump and roll the dice that maybe there was a Silent Majority that felt the same way.
I just knew that if I found Cruz to be irritating and slimey, but agreed with him, other less ideological voters would run. He was sort of like our Hillary. I'm glad though Cruz has decided to come back into the fold and actually advance an agenda instead of nurse old wounds.

It's actually worse than that. Yes, they're fanatics.
The most dangerous kind of fanatics.
They're religious fanatics. Politics is their religion and the anointed one is their god or goddess.
Look at how they talked about Barky when he was President. They were working themselves up into the same kind of frenzy for Hillary.
Then poof! It was over.
Then came the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Literally, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
These people we laugh at now are dangerous religious fanatics.

Hilarious and Glorious. I went onto youtube thinking I spend a few minutes....ended up watching 2-3 hours on Saturday and 2-3 hours on Sunday. Well worth the time. Highly recommend.
I could write a million words on observations that I had forgotten about. Besides all the talk show folks not being able to hide their freak out, was the fact that Hillary did not come out to concede. She sent out Podesta with some weak lame speech. And the networks purposely not calling PA for so long, was BullSh%t.

Instead, we have gotten the first candidate in my lifetime that has governed to the right of how he campaigned. He says stupid crap once in a while, he's stumbled some, but he's actually doing what I want to see done. And that is frankly astounding to me.

I was prepared to be disappointed by at least something he'd do because he didn't run as a doctrinaire conservative and, get this, expected the GOP congress to have to rein him in at some point. What an unexpectedly pleasant surprise, except for the GOPe sandbaggers.

I actually expected him to win, for a variety of both objective and subjective reasons. I would not have been shocked if Hillary had won, but I generally felt Obama had overreached and the core of America was quietly ready to stop the progressive wave. There were numerous indications, mostly small but telling, to support that during the campaign.

My bride works for DeepState. I went to bed, after hammering back a pitcher of adult beverages. Darkly muttering about Bill's wife being elected.
My bride woke me from my drunken stupor very late "He won. Trump won." I grunted, said something like 'well, this will be interesting'.
she spent the next 2 weeks straight comforting the swamp creatures, the lesbians and homosexuals in her offices, who were - in her words - crying, shaking and terrified they'd be locked up or killed.
These poor, poor people are truly mentally ill.

Now I wasn't quite that happy. But when I walked into the master bedroom whistling the opening bars of the Star Spangled Banner, my wife (who had gone to bed when it was still an either-way possibility) realised at once exactly what had happened.
What happened to the Left is of their own making, and every single parent among them should IMO be regarded as guilty of child abuse. I feel sorry for their kids, who have been shaped into something probably not of their desiring and definitely not to their benefits. But the adults can fucking suffer.
Now give us video of the Hillary meltdown and you would have a nation - nay, the English-speaking world - half full of boners so hard you could drop them from orbit and pierce the earth's crust.

We have a brief breathing space to work on our homes and families, while gun and ammo prices are low. Work on your logistics. Their level of schizophrenia is not going away, nor is their desire for vengeance.
But I spent that night here on the HQ, with another tab open with 4chan's politics page. FBN on in the background.
