Credibility? I was under the impression that people wanted some sort of experience or education when questioning credibility. Silly me.
Then again you work with what you have... And I imagine you have neither in this case. So Webster's political credentials are as follows:
Strong opinions Scathing alpha male retorts And the ability to predict the outcome of an election once
Am I missing something?

I'd love for you to quote for me a post from anyone else on the shroomery who was able to do this. Look, there are too many liberals intentionally spreading misinformation for me to be fucked to actually navigate through it all and discredit every single one of them.
I made this thread to point out that the idiots who were wrong before the election(and insisted that they were right) are still parroting the MSM, still being wrong, and still insisting that they're right. It's a very sad cycle. So sad I had to laugh at them a little.

you have the popular vote for a business mogul shoring up his Republican base with prevaricating statements about how he may do things, including anything that'll take with his right proponents; and use anti-PC sentiment to shore up that base, as well.
then you have a extremely popular woman who's shoring up the Liberal/Progressive vote, all whilst shafting the more Liberal candidate, and is insistent on sabre rattling with Russia.
the election wasn't hard to call. it's just that people aren't gonna call it one way or the other, because Trump is an outsider, and people thought Hillary would surely aim to elect herself, through her illegitimate political tactics.
the people whom wanted Trump to win, shored him in...without them, he wouldn't have won; and they wouldn't have went in droves to vote if they had thought that he already secured the win...it's smarter to not presume, basically.

Look webby, you chose your side would win or if they wouldn't win it would be because the election was rigged, because anything that extends from you and your opinions must be great and a winner. Lest whatever else wins surely cheated. If Trump hadn't won I'm sure you'd somehow still claim he did
That gives no more credibility to your political prowess than your posts of naked women gives credibility to you being a 'man'.

That's all it is with you, if's and but's. "If this happened you'd say this." Well, lets focus on what actually happened instead of debating fantasy land. Any idiot who believed the MSM before the election, and continues to believe it, is just so beyond retarded its unfathomable. I'd hate life if I was that dumb.

Are you really dumb enough to believe half the country "wants to bring back lynching"?
This is why people like you will never understand why Trump actully won, you're too predisposed to blaming it on racism and bigotry

I had no particular desire to see either candidate win, but it is kind of funny how certain some people were that Trump had a negligible chance of winning.

unsure of what? that Trump, even given his track record of prevarication and flip-flopping, should be outright trusted, no questions asked, even though no one would give that some credence and credibility to any other president, ever, in US history?
you have unrealistic expectations of reality. even Trump fanatics (surely not here, which granted is a relief) are "buying into" the hype that "he's backpedalling" because of ACA, because they voted for him with the high expectations of him tackling everything with a broad brush stroke. the social 'issues' concerning marriage rights, citizenship rights, and LGBTQ-rights; all these things will not be tackled by Donald and he isn't going to give them what they want regarding his statements. he's the leader of the whole country now. he can't go about ostracizing anyone, he'll get nailed for that.

after Sanders dropped out, not at all. the only people who didn't want him to win, at that point, were die-hard Hillary fans. many voted with anti-Hillary sentiment in mind...and some with their wallets, plenty even. not all that surprising...what's surprising is all the calling out of Clinton's camp, on some legit, some not so legit shit...but that was certainly something new this election. real dirt was shovelled onto her. none of this Kenya crap.

Anyone who denies the liberal bias in media is a complete fucking tool moron. Liberals dont even deny it for the most part nowadays.
Its funny i can actually translate the real story when i hear liberal propaganda.
Its all the same shit over and over again you hardly have to follow politics to be able to read between the lines.
This is coming from someone who is not pro Republican

thing is the alternate right-wing media has just as much demagoguery as any liberal alternate media...and the lamestream media has always had a liberal bias, why? because it makes them money.
yeah, and that's why alot of people voted for Trump; they voted with their wallets in mind. 
you either vote with your wallet, or a social issue in mind.
in this case, wallets were not filled in media outlet's pockets.
good. they suck anyway.

You predicted the race correctly. But let's be fair, you were going to predict he would win regardless. Congrats. But we had this discussion about sampling and your analysis was just flat wrong. You were using national registration data in state polls. That just not how it works.
Look it's out there in interviews now that the trump team was seeing the same numbers with their polls that we saw with the public polls.
The race was decided by 10000 votes in Michigan and 105,000 in Florida. We're talking a percentage point difference in two states and Clinton would have won. There are no polls available where the margin of error even approaches one percent. The polls on Election Day showed those two states were practically tied
And trump supporters did lie. The exit polls prove that. It's one thing to say that the regular polling got their models wrong, and that explains the discrepancy - except the exit polls showed the same thing. The only realistic and significant way the exit polls can be wrong is if people are lying.
Are you still trying to convince us of all of this because you feel inadequate that Clinton convinced a million more people to vote for her? Let's face it, Clinton got more vote and trump won due to a quirk in the sysyrm. The only reason this seems like a stunning result is because trump has always been graded on a curve

Wrong, they were liberal because they were liberal, and when they had the monopoly on news, they made money regardless of it
The ratings for MSNBC and CNN are shit, if they cared about ratings, they would structure more like fox and be a little more fair and balanced
But they don't, they know their other broadcast channels make enough money to carry their "news" divisions and continue their left wing brainwashing of America
***luckily Fox and talk radio have been successful in getting out the truth

Not fair or balanced. You think they're not playing the same game as the other big boys?
CNN and MSNBC don't feature liberals and conservatives?
I agree that mainstream media is dishonest but mainstream media means mainstream media, fox is very much included in that category.
