I actually understand Hillary looking to run again. Why wouldn’t she? I’ve heard it myself irl: this was all a mistake. Nobody actually BELIEVED Drumpf could win. If they’d known the odds/risks, the ppl would have come out en masse & she wins in a landslide So why not run again?

I know ppl irl that actually believe this. The vast swaths of non-voters out there would have come out, if only they understood it was possible this madman could win. And they would have stopped him. If I know ppl in this bubble, what kinda bubble do you think Hillary is in?

We know better, obv. But we aren’t in that media bubble. We know you can’t assign “How the non-voters/3rd party voters would have voted”, we know that the media dialed it up to 11, everyone knew the stakes in their state (esp swing state) & made their choice. But they aren’t us.

Having actually looked at the data, I know she more than hit her numbers in Miami/Philly & was overwhelmed by white rural/suburban voters & PA+FL means he wins. I know “they didn’t show up” MIGHT have been true in WI only (still doesn’t get her to 270). I know things are changing

And “having a do-over” isn’t going to work. He won PA, outright. He won FL, outright. And the way the Dems are behaving, he might win NH, ME, MN among others by 2020. And she might win different states too. But if she’s in a bubble (like so many libs), she doesn’t know any better

Replying to @jacko1098a @af_k47
Actually agree. He was shaping up to be a lame duck from day one. And w/ all the shenanigans in FL, a narrative of “they stole it, let’s win this thing for real” would be easy to sell to their base. Much more plausible case than “muh russia”.

And it was so much closer. Gore won popular vote by 500K + giving FL to Bush gave him 271, an inch over the line. That’s the one where you could say “it was rigged” & ppl would believe it. When Trump wins 306 to to 232, harder to say “well he stole 4 states guys.”
