Millions of people voted against their own interests in 2016. All are not "Assholes."

84. I read your replies above MM, which maintains that same view. My point is

that those who voted for trump represent about 23 - 25%. The other 23 - 25% went to Hillary.

Within those that voted for trump, those that are hardcore registered republicans you are not going to be able to convince, and I would maintain the other group who voted for trump that harbor certain prejudices would be just as difficult to persuade. Their minds will only change if they are adversely affected by trump's policies. I think the 10% number you use for possible trump voter conversion is much to high, because that says that of the 23-25% that voted for trump, 50% of those could be convinced otherwise, and I don't buy that.

As I said I am extremely angry at those who voted third party, especially those who voted for Stein, but without a doubt in my mind, that demographic would be where are energies should go. The fact is if 50% of the Jill Stein voters would have voted Democratic, we would have the WH. Those votes are more attainable than those who voted for trump.

As you realize because of our electoral system, even though Hillary received 3 million more votes, we still lost. However, it was the 47% who didn't vote why I believe we lost the Senate.

Every Democrat running for Senate in those critical swing states, lost to the Establishment, Incumbent, republican.

You get 5% of the 47% who didn't vote, to vote, and you win
