After being a loyal reader for the better part of 60 years, I have officially run out of respect for The New York Times. Unrest and instability might be bad for our Democracy, but they are damn good for business at The New York Times. Still … I would like to know why Republicans were oversampled by The Times in this particular foray into professional guessing. In the final weeks of the race, polls were released in Wisconsin showing Johnson running 4%-to-7% points ahead of his firebrand of a challenger, Democrat, Mandela Barnes. Democrats once again exceeded expectations and those blasted polls in nationwide elections, and won just about every important race on the docket.
