don't you feel stupid
Everyone posting this even though this was a year ago and I was right at the time
If you recall, he has already run for president in the past and failed miserably. Nobody predicted him being a serious contender. If you bet on him to win the Republican primary you would've gotten like 40x your money or something ridiculous. At the time he wasn't a serious contender. Things have changed dramatically, for a number of reasons.
So no, I don't feel stupid, I feel like that I was absolutely correct at the time given the information available and people at the time were exaggerating his position in the race. The people who pretend like I was off-base with that claim are the ones who should feel stupid.
It's a bit like calling someone stupid for going all-in with four Ks on the flop, and your opponent has pocket As and grabs two more As on the turn and river. No, that was clearly the correct call at the time, but luck struck. You guys are like the ones who thought the pocket As would win after only seeing the flop.

Why would he? He had the informed opinion at the time.
