She lost under the stupid electoral college rules we're stuck with. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2017 #8
There were a lot of factors, but I think what dealt the worst blow was the FBI interference still_one Jan 2017 #15

Rather than saying "white working class," why don't they just say "racists?" Hoyt Jan 2017 #4
Beacuse that will guarantee more Democrat losses in the future. nt jonno99 Jan 2017 #6
Yeah, we need to attract racists to the Party. Do I need a sarcasm thingie? Hoyt Jan 2017 #7
Joe disagrees with your analysis - jonno99 Jan 2017 #10
Because "non college whites with middling income" are not all racist? dionysus Jan 2017 #25
I'm sorry, it is obvious Trump is a racist. I think voting for him is too. Hoyt Jan 2017 #45
No need to apologize, trump caters massively to racists, or is a racist himself. dionysus Jan 2017 #47
The media danced around that for his whole campaign underpants Jan 2017 #31

You got that right! tgards79 Jan 2017 #46
I did read the frigging thing, and my head DIDN'T explode. I don't agree that the reason she lost still_one Jan 2017 #56
Yes I did. I believe the effect was greater because of the 47% who didn't vote. still_one Jan 2017 #55
I think most of the voter ID laws were overturned, or there were ways around them. Agree on Comey Hoyt Jan 2017 #51
Not entirely true. In North Carolina, thousands of voters were removed from the voting roster. The still_one Jan 2017 #54
