13. Over Confident Late In The Campaign
The majority of the polls toward the end of the campaign all showed that Hillary Clinton was ahead in the race and that she was undeniably slated to win the election. The media seemed to be on a constant loop, reporting how ahead she was in the polls and how damning the tape recordings of Trump talking about grabbing women was to his campaign.
This would have made anyone feel confident in their chances in the election, and Hillary Clinton was no different. During the Second Presidential Debate, Clinton appeared ultra confident against Donald Trump and at times she almost appeared smug. When Trump began talking about appointing a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s controversial private email server, Clinton could be seen smiling broadly and looking into the crowd.
Also, the poll numbers may have led Clinton to be more relaxed during the final stretch of the campaign, while Trump was pushing hard even at the very end moments to ensure that he won the most crucial states over to his side.
