"there is still a hidden trump vote," luntz said on cbs. "people who refuse to tell pollsters who they voted for will not acknowledge it, and i think they will come out of the woodwork tonight." "how do you address that anger?" he asked. "those are the people who really want to tear up, blow up washington. they're going to have to figure out a way to work with them, with the house, the senate. this is going to be the most chaos that we have seen in washington in a long, long time." by bill scher by joshua zeitz by thomas wright by jack shafer
