I have to keep this post on auto post to combat your out of context posting....
but is what I said right in front of the election....
and I was even more spot on in 2016.

"How many times have I showed you this to you Tony.
I posted this 2 nights before the election.... just so everyone could see exactly what I was thinking... about the algo. How many times did I tell you as AK 47 polls are not about predicting the winner but about what the electorate is doing at that point in time.
The algo nailed the proper templates and that is what the purpose of the algo was. To take the crooked polls and unskew them to a proper template. Which was simply a template which was bounded by approximately the previous presidential election turnout to perhaps the mid term turnout.
Having polls with Democrat rich samples was a joke in 2012 and a disaster for your side in 2016.

"as I posted on another thread... here is my summary of this thread.
polls slanted greater to the Dems than the 2008 the template are leftist frauds... and they should be chastised. This will include the crazy predictions made by nate silver.
polls with the 2008 template are leftists, fools, or blind.
even axelrod said last night they will not do as well as 2008.
poll between 2010 and 2008 are professional... perhaps a little partisan as they get closer to 2008.
polls with 2010... are perhaps a bit partisan to the Rs but smart.
but IMO
polls should slanted more to the Is and the Rs because that is what the turnout on Tuesday will teach us.
all these pollsters... underweighted the Is."
