    Hillary Clinton lost the election in the Midwest. Donald Trump won 50 Midwestern electoral votes that went to Barack Obama in 2012 -- Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio -- plus 20 more in Pennsylvania, where the two-thirds of voters beyond metro Philadelphia are Midwestern in culture and concerns. Trump could have lost Florida and still won.

    In the popular vote, Clinton came close to equaling Obama's 2012 percentages in the South and not-yet-fully-counted West, and her 4 percent drop in the Northeast cost her no electoral votes. But in the Midwest and Pennsylvania, the Democratic presidential percentage dropped from 54 percent in 2008 and 51 percent in 2012 to 45 percent in 2016.

    Yep. There shouldn't be any doubt. This wasn't Comey or Wiki or Sexism or Third Parties. None of those things helped, certainly, but none of them caused this defeat, either. Campaign strategy and messaging, more than anything else, led to Donald Trump.
    I don't believe that. She lost a few of those states by really close margins. To say that the FBI, or hacked emails, or sexism, or third parties didn't account for those lost close margins is ignoring a big part of the story.

    I hear what you are saying. As I said, none of those things helped her. Even still, she ran up a huge margin in the popular vote despite all the negatives. We didn't see these things impact her significantly nationwide. Their strategy was to target Republican women. It didn't work, perhaps in part because of the factors listed above. But their strategy was also to write off the so-called deplorables, and to take Wisconsin and Michigan for granted. That is what I believe killed them in the end.

    That is a staggering, ludicrous, almost impossible to comprehend number. It will be close to 2 million by the time every vote is counted.

    This isn't an attempt to bring Hillary back. I didn't vote for her. The numbers I'm posting are her current lead in the "popular vote". I find it fascinating. You may not. Feel free to ignore or play in another thread.

    It can. The electorate doesn't have to vote for who won their state. If they feel Trump is not up to the task or is a risk to the office of the presidency. They can give their votes to Hillary.

    He apologized.

    The NAACP is saddened by the passing of United States Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd, the longest serving member of congress was first elected to the U.S. House from [West Virginia] in 1952 and was elected Senator in 1958. Byrd passed away this morning at the age of 92.
    "Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.
