it’s 11AM here and I’m at work, but I’m seriously considering going and buying a good bottle of shochu or two. (At least I’m the boss so no one can tell me not to drink at work). Can someone explain how the exit polls can be so wrong? ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > What!? Florida going for Trump is a huge surprise. I think John is also missing a very important point: Trump didn’t need any huge surprises to win. He just needed to win most of the states where his chances were say, 35% or so. ---
