Shopsmith Forums

Polling is hard. They have to dice their numbers a dozen ways to Sunday to figure out the election, so it's all too easy to get something wrong. As it is, it looks like Hillary will win the popular vote*, so, really, how far off were they?

When was the last time Shopsmith could obtain parts from the USA? Yes, it's been a while. When was the last time OHIO has produced manufacturing jobs? The Dayton area has become stagnate for these jobs. THIS WILL CHANGE! Watch and see!
GO SHOPSMITH!
GO NATION!

I fervently hope you are right.

As much I like made in the US of A, things are priced/cost driven. It is wishful thinking.

Erlover,
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
We may just have taken that step.

We will now see if the 'obstructionists' can assume a different role and move towards progress even if it means regressing certain past actions by unowho.

I am just happy we don't have to endure anymore campaign ads! If the number of times they ran the ads were indicative of how effective they are. Meaning they had to run it over and over to get the message through. Tons of money was wasted on them.

Some of them were played so often they had the opposite effect than what was intended.

Media got the election and after effects all wrong. Saying if Trump won Wall Street would collapse. Since the election the Dow has risen.

I say no more polling should be allowed. No election results until all polls are closed and everything is counted. No predictive News, only report on what happened, no opinion offered.

Teach people to do their own critical thinking instead of producing a nation of sheep.

Do this and all the rest will follow.
Those who try to teach critical thinking will meet heavy resistance. As evidenced by the riotous protests on each coast and in several left leaning cities.

Lack of any thinking is the 'issue'.

Instead of political ads now all that is on TV now is why did Hillary lose. Really! You can't figure it out yourself? You need someone to tell you? Yes thinking for one's self would be something new.
