    But the first bit is correct. Voters perceptions were baked in. Lots of Obama voters were not going to vote for Clinton the polls just didn't capture that.
    Next time, maybe have a fair primary if you want the people who supported the loser to show up and vote for the winner in the general election? Bernie Sanders supporters elected Trump, whether they voted for him or not.

    The fact that few on the left realize this is what happened, is just adorable!

    They say, after this the number of searches on words "demagogue", "denominator" and "Hawking" jumped. Kinda supporting his point.

    Well, this interview was taken long before the election, so he couldn't know who would win. The reporter basically asked him about Trump even being a phenomenon.
