Donald Trump’s victory did more than embarrass a couple of opportunistic ‘prophets’ – it shocked an entire world and shot down the predictions of an entire class of political pundits.
The polls were nearly unanimous in their convictions that Hillary Rodham Clinton would win the election.
Indeed, one pollster, Sam Wang, was so sure of his polls and that Trump would lose, he made this prediction!
It is totally over. If Trump wins more than 240 electoral votes, I will eat a bug. https://t.co/3eefhWzI3y

Well, turns out Trump got much more than 240 electoral votes, Hillary Clinton lost, and he won!
Knowing twitter, and just how quick they are to remind people of promises – just ask Gary Lineker or Wole Soyinka – Wang was soon bombasted with questions of when he would keep to his promise. So, he went on CNN and did exactly that.
Moral of the story – don’t assume anything is ever impossible, and whatever you do – don’t make promises you do not want to keep!
