    Hilary won the popular vote by almost 3 million because most people liked her.

    She lost the electoral college vote because of a few really close states.

      Yeah, against a playboy who didn’t have any political experience or acumen whatsoever. This should’ve been a landslide victory for dems. I stand by what I said, Trump won because it was Hilary he was up against. If it were Bernie, Trump wouldn’t have had a chance.

        Even my dad, a blue collar welder in his late 60s, was totally on the Bernie train in 2016. If that doesn’t tell you anything about how Bernie could have done, I don’t know what will.

          I have talked to several Trump voters that love Bernie. I mean it shows that they don’t pay any attention to policy or reality even, but I think it shows that Bernie would have won.

            The funny part is he wasn’t even a Trump voter, he’s really liberal for his upbringing and occupation; he was happy with Obama in 2008 too.

      Just because she won the popular vote, doesn’t mean everyone was happy to vote for her either

      A few states that were really close because her campaign was up against a social-media heavy campaign that weaponized misinformation, and didn’t know how to respond.

      She lost the electoral college because she rigged the primary.

      In retrospect the margin was so thin that if she’d only modestly pissed off Sanders voters she would have won.
