Even if it sounds weird, over the last decade I've been able to call every election I was aware of (this is not a joke) everywhere if I am made aware of it before it takes place. As odd as it might sound, they refuse to acknowledge everything I hear or even bear it in mind. Sure, let's not trust the guy who ripped his head apart studying the history and internal politics of different countries since he was given a book dealing with them, following elections from polls to the streets, who's reviewed platforms ad nauseum and who somehow crammed 8 years of a JD into three! 

 

What could possibly go wrong?! 

Why couldn`t you have said this before hand? Would have been nice to have been able to make some money off of betting on the winning side

Because the odds you'd have listened to me where next to none. Don't people even think of the methodology polls use? I would have pointed out the LA Times poll almost always put Trump ahead or closer than usual. 

Seriously, asking people Who to vote for?  and expecting this poll to be an accurate barometer of sentiment across a country isn't brilliant, it's insulting!

The growing anti-americanism grows all around Europe and there are some good reasons for that, today we just saw one.

Most likely becausr Clinton under the Obama administration destabilised the middle east leading to the refugee crisis and more terrorism acts in Europe.

And because often, the use and abuse of interventionist policies exhacerbates problems in other countries. It's rare to see military raids succeed in restoring order unless it's an all out war and the people's national sentiment is in favor of deposing the government. Most importantly, this doesn't count if there are no reasonable regional powers ready to help steady a country without a government. Syria will end up exactly like Libya if they want to Gaddafy Assad...
