(71,542 posts)received third party votes( Greens) in key states, she would have won. No doubt what you say is true and that made the election very close...just close enough for Jill Stein who campaigned in states that were close deliberately...who wanted Trump to win ....to take close states. She was the Nader of 16-probably worse...Nader did not collude with the Russians and Republicans. And those who did not vote for Hillary by staying home, voting for Stein or any third party candidate or even an f'ing gorilla,voting for Trump...writing in anyone...They have have blood on their hands. And this was a very very bad election to engage in this behavior...the courts alone should have stopped this nonsense. We can't discuss the primary here as you know...the primary is over. But had there been no primary would Trump have won? We will never know, but we should be careful in 2020 to avoid a bitter divisive primary.
Oh and lets not consider Stein or any of her supporters progressive. Jill is Putin's pet...she deceived all of those who voted for her and is not progressive...a third rate spoiler...and she can go straight to hell as far as I am concerned.
