Ranxerox Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Oops. This is the cover they were going use if she won. She didn't so it never went out. They used their Trump victory cover instead. Being prepared is the opposite of failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being prepared is the opposite of failure. The UK newspaper Telegraph disagrees: Newsweek recalls 125,000 copies of its souvenir Madam President issue http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/10/newsweek-recalls-125000-copies-of-its-souvenir-madam-president-i/ Everyone from pollsters to pundits got the result of the US presidential election wrong. But few can have made it in such an expensive manner. Newsweek and a partner that prints up special commemorative issues has been forced into an embarrassing recall, after it sent out 125,000 copies of its Madam President issue designed to celebrate Hillary Clinton's win. Although Topix Media had also prepared a Donald Trump version it thought it was safe to dispatch only the version detailing “Hillary Clinton's historic journey to the White House”, as the cover put it. https://twitter.com/Newsweek/status/795694606335770624/photo/1 https://twitter.com/ABCLiz/status/795945446887817216/photo/1 @Moderators: Hope this suffices why this blunder is in this thread not the election/politics thread.

Pariah Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 To my mind, this election was a Fail as soon as the two major party candidates were confirmed. aylwin13 and DasBroot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hey, they sold a *lot* of magazines with the picture of the re-elected president waving the "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" headline on the magazine cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Saw a copy at a local grocery store. I would have bought it if I had any disposable income. That way I could pull it out any time I needed a laugh. P.S. Stop looking at this thread! Jeez.
