That was amazingly stupid. At a time when the polls showed a close race and she needed to win over some Trump supporters, she bashed them. Gosh, I can't believe that didn't work the way she wanted. Usually when you call people names to insult them, they immediately want to support you.
I think the WikiLeaks hurt her, too. Knowing that she lied about so much didn't set well with people.
I knew some Hillary voters. I wouldn't call them supporters, but they said she had more experience than Trump. They were also MSNBC and CNN watchers, so they likely didn't hear much truth about Hillary.
I'm struggling with the logic. If they switched and voted for Hillary, then they weren't Trump supporters. Those who were going to vote Trump, ie, Trump supporters, were NEVER going to vote for Hillary.
Logic really ISN'T you strong suit, and your grasp of the obvious is pretty shaky as well.
And that would be because..........? How many people who voted for Trump in the primaries, wouldn't have voted for him in the election? Maybe those who died, and that'd be about it.
This election wasn't really about who voted for Trump, Frigid...it was more about who DIDN'T vote for Clinton and why they didn't turn out for her!
She alienated the young liberal vote with what Debbie Wasserman Schultz did to Bernie Sanders. Making DWS an "Honorary Chairperson" of the Clinton campaign right after she was forced to step down during the Democratic Convention was one of the dumbest political moves I've ever seen. It was a poke in the eye for all those people who supported Sanders and worked hard for him...one more example of Hillary Clinton thinking she was "entitled" to liberal votes.
Wrong. Thousands of union voters in the rust belt flipped from Democrat to Trump and that is what won him the 3 states he needed to win the electoral vote.
I'm not wrong, Carbineer. Yes, thousands of union voters in the Rust Belt did indeed "flip" from Democrat to Republican in this election because they didn't believe Clinton was invested in helping them but more importantly many thousands of other union voters simply stayed home and didn't vote at all. The Rust Belt union vote was one more segment of the vote that Clinton didn't inspire to turn out. You had the Sander's supporters...you had the black vote...and you had the union vote. Let's be honest here, it was the combination of all of these voting blocs not turning out that cost Clinton the Presidency and confounded the pollsters and the pundits so profoundly.
