Loved doing @GMA from my Wimberley, TX home today. I love this photo highlighting @danbharris he was asking me a question because he came from Wimberley. Although my closed eyes make me look asleep or trampled.

Matthew Dowd Review
Dowd was heavily criticized after his poor prediction that Hilary Clinton would win the 2016 US presidential election by a larger margin than Obama did in 2012. His word said;
“I think he has about a 95 chance of winning this election, and I think he’s going to have a higher margin than Barack Obama did in 2012. He’s going to win by more than 5 million votes. She will earn a higher percentage. And interestingly enough, she will have a more diverse coalition than Barack Obama did when the final vote is taken into consideration. Every piece of data points in that direction.”
