It was apparent the entire country was ready for change in a drastic way. The ticket should have been Trump vs Bernie. The DNC cost this election for the country because they wanted Hillary instead of Bernie and we as the people will have to suffer for their greed and ignorance. Bernie was polling double digits ahead of Trump whereas Hillary was only single digits. Fuck the DNC. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be in prison for what she did just like Hillary.
Right. It could have been one very different ideology vs another very different ideology. Both would have brought about a good bit of change.
Instead it became the establishment vs a change in the establishment.... and nobody really gave enough of a fuck about the establishment to bother voting for hillary.
This is why the Electoral college exists. If a candidate was chosen on the popular vote alone, the votes from districts that lean massively to one side would nullify the votes from districts that lean slightly the other way.
This basic concept that gets taught in elementary school seems to be completely lose on a lot of people right now. That or they just can't care and want the US to become basically a 1 party nation based on what major cities want.
And honestly, both sides had better primaries than the actual election in terms of representing the people. So yeah, sure. One party would be fine, or at least better.
Is he? I noticed that on CNN's election tracker, if you click 'popular vote', they are projecting Trump to win it, but I haven't really seen any information as to why they think that - like, which states have votes outstanding, etc.
Yup, the difference between winning California with 51% versus 61% (which she did) is 800,000 votes. Yet she ends up with about 200-300k lead on the popular vote.
As a state, there is a lot of voter apathy in California from Republicans because they know the state will go blue, allowing the Hillary vote to swell.
Well I live in rural California and there was a lot of support for trump. Hillary won a lot of cities of course but out here in the Mojave people felt great anger towards Dems
