Two months ago I asked you the following question.
I asked you to pick the outcome you expected, not the outcome you wanted.
Who do you think will be the next American President? (poll closed)
You plumped quite decisively for Kamala Harris. This was two weeks after she officially accepted the Democratic nomination for President and a week before she participated in a debate with Trump.
And now here we are the morning after the election. A red dawn is rising.
10 comments from readers who predicted Kamala
• She'll get a comfortable majority.
• Harris by 1 state difference.
• It will be close and it will be contested.
• Democrats have worked out how to focus their efforts effectively on a few big cities.
• It’s Kamala’s to lose.
• Most Americans see through Trump.
• Kamala to win but Trump to contest it. Messy.
• She is vacuous, unpopular and unproven, but she's not Trump or Biden.
• Harris to win it with a small majority in the swing states.
• The women of America will save us.
10 comments from readers who predicted Donald
• Trump remains popular in the states that matter.
• I can't see any other outcome.
• He will win the Presidency, but not by any means that we've seen before.
• Trump will edge the electoral college by the smallest of margins.
• His share is probably underestimated so he will sneak in.
• He'll steal it and the Supreme Court will eventually make a partisan ruling that he won.
• Brown and female remain unpopular characteristics to voters in much of the US.
• Un-dynamic Harris will not quite garner enough votes in key states.
• Americans never learn from their past mistakes.
• Just as with Hillary, our distant view makes Harris appear much more popular than she is.
I think it's best if I stop asking you to predict the future now.
