The shy Trump voter.

31. The elephant in the room...

I read every post in this thread carefully, and I certainly understand and appreciate the observations about what the Dems did or did not do...what Hillary did or did not do... that caused the loss.

I would like to point to the pachyderm on the premises....

Clinton lost the EC because she lost the popular votes in 3 key states by a grand total of 77,744 Votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Trump won Pennsylvania by 0.7 percentage points (44,292 votes), Wisconsin by 0.7 points (22,748 votes), Michigan by 0.2 points (10,704 votes). If Clinton had won all three states, she would have won the Electoral College 278 to 260.

After all the non-tinfoil-hat information has come out about voting machines and hacked totals, we should include the possibility that the Russians - who attacked all 50 states' elections - may have jiggered just a few votes. Those few votes told the tale.

Add voter suppression... people who polled that they were voting for Clinton, but who never got the chance to actually vote because of voter suppression...and you have another possible explanation.

Those factors are going to be with us this year. In spades.

We have to get out the blue vote... and keep it up. Drive people to the fucking polls...call our kids.. have them call their friends.
The margin - in actual votes, not poll numbers - has to be large enough to overcome whatever dirty or digital tricks the trumpers and their allies throw at Biden/Harris.
