2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSomeone needs to counter Conway's "Why isn't she over 50%?" nonsense...
There are FOUR candidates...it's a 4 way race...as a rule, no candidate gets over 50% when there are more than 2 candidates on the ballot. I wish someone on the media would point that out and shut her up about that point.

(7,410 posts)...at this point, they're just laying pipe for the next 8 years of delegitimization.
Of course we can't approve her SCOTUS appointments, more than 50% of the people didn't vote for her.
Of course we can't confirm her cabinet positions...less than 50% of the country supports her.
Of course we have to resist all of her initiatives - it's the will of the majority.
Just another reason for a Dem senate and a Dem house (as if we needed more).
They are such asshats !

(38,860 posts)Of course, someone could augment it with pointing out how much misogyny is playing a part, along with 30 years of well-funded Republican attacks, etc., etc. But she knows this already.

Statistical
(19,264 posts)So 100% - 6% = 94% /2 = 47%. So 47% is all that is needed. Now >50% would be nice but it is just gravy. If she gets 47% she will be the next President of these United States.
