2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTrump has fewer votes than hillary because he had more competition.
Hillary really racked up her massive vote total in the south, But Trump had to split the vote 3 ways or more.
This post doesn't have anything to do with Bernie, so don't bring bernie up.
I wrote this because of the latest poll, and to shed some light on the vote count between Trump and Hillary, and what there is such a large difference.

(3,089 posts)Not all those votes will go to Trump, though. Many will sit out or vote third party. Same would be true if Bernie were the nominee. It only means that Dems MUST come together no matter who our candidate is and defeat this monster. AND we MUST GOTV!!!
I am doing my part by phone banking to relatives and friends all over the country. They each have vowed to be responsible for getting 10 new voters to the poll. So it true, with my family alone, we will have, 70 new voters in IL, 40 in NM, 20 in NJ, 90 in PA. 120 in CA, 10 in NV. 40 in MI, 60 in VA, 50 in W.VA, and 20 in DC. We are having a contest. I live in Maryland and Haven't been able to find any people near me or at the Mall who aren't already registered and going to vote. Haven't been able to contact my GA and FL relatives to get this going.

This vote total argument is so blatantly misleading, a second grader knows it is a false argument, but Hillary LOVES this argument because it sounds good and fools idiots. Hillary can't fix her fatal flaw of being widely thought of as dishonest and untrustworthy by reinforcing the root cause of the problem with a phone argument that anyone can see is misleading:

(68,644 posts)Anything from Fox is not acceptable. I am a Democrat and they spin rightie except of course for Bernie...whom they want to be the nominee.
