21. I think that's the point that someone else was trying to make in this thread.

Attempting to minimize the OP as just a few lazy pundits missing the real point doesn't change the fact OP is still absolutely correct. These lazy pundits are wrong and a lot of people believe that what they're saying is right. And then, just like with the other poster I addressed in this thread, nothing you say actually refutes the OP. A candidate doing well with white people, the majority in this country, increases their chances? Wow, who knew. How does that refute the claim that Trump, a Republican, actually won with affluent voters the same way the GOP always does, and not with the working class the way the lazy pundits claim? And there was no significant shift of Dems to Trump. There were Dems who stayed home. That may be what you're thinking of.
