In many ways the 1948 election was like the 2016 election.

The Usual Suspects discounted and dismissed Truman. The polls were certain he's lose. Every prominent pundit rosined Dewey. And Truman won, plus the GOP lost Congress.

What it looks like is reporters stayed home when Truman went on road trips to the heartland, and interviewed each other. Elites cant care less what average people do and think.

If you examine great failures, most of the time prominent elites are behind the wheel of the debacle.
 
On tv today a Democrat wise man echoed the 1948 problem: Democrat elites don't care what America thinks or wants, and expects losses in 2018.
 
And Truman was probably the most effective President of the last 70 years. He said what he would do and then did it.

His most important decision was to A bomb Japan. Difficult, important and he didn't fudge it.

And he suffered two terms of abuse abd treachery from Cool Kiss Democrats. FDR was the head Cool Kid.
