Why were Democrats so surprised when they lost the election?

It seems everyone knew Hillary would lose except Hillary supporters. Why is that?

    Because of the media. Every network bet on him losing and some people really believe what the news says.

    It was the gravy train that they enjoyed so long that did the deed in the end. Problem for them, is that there was so many of us that were stepped on by the Left's rise to power, that all Liberals simply forgot that they needed the heartland to win. The Centers of Liberalism is New York City, San Francisco/Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and DC. Those areas are all that Liberals care about since the rest simply do not matter.

    Democrats had more money, took more bribes, Clinton had even already been paid by a Saudi Arabia's prince to serve Saudi Arabia's interests. The money said that she would win, she was supposed to rig the election to ensure it and the government agencies as well as the media were already working on covering everything up.

    I was a Trump supporter but I had no hope for him knowing what he was going against.

    It called the 'echo chamber', a 'bubble' of people who reinforce each other's opinion.....

    Happens when you don't get out much....like the swampos in DC and the MSM.

    Because the liberal media was feeding the brainwashed sheeps fake news and polls stating that she has an 85% chance of winning.

    Here are some examples:

    When Trump was chosen by the American people on November, 9th, 2016; the liberals couldn't comprehend reality because they have been lied to.

    I had to REPORT & BLOCK you. You're too trite & dense to be commenting in the politic section. It's best you refrain or CEASE posting altogether. You're an embarrassment to your own political party. No offense but it's best you SHUT your FAT F*U*CKING MOUTH cause you're stupid as all F*U*C*K and we don't need your right wing racist S*H*I*T either!

    The funny thing about it, the Democrats cheated by allowing illegal immigrants to vote and they STILL lost in a landslide!

    If the Democrats were doing the right thing, Hillary Clinton would have won and Donald Trump wouldn't have been so relevant in the election.

    Because they expected there would be enough voter fraud that Hillary would win.
