'I never thought Trump would win': meet the Americans who chose not to vote

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Looking back, I think the Clinton campaign/MSM’s campaign to gaslight Trump voters backfired against them. The passion of the Trump voters to record their votes no matter what the outcome was greater than that of the Clinton voter, 90+% of whom were at best lukewarm towards her.

his one vote in NJ would have made no difference for Hillary since she won NJ without his vote...

[Grampa Dave]

This fella needs to get checked for an AB Normal brain tumor.

[ez]

I said several times that showing Clinton so far ahead was going to suppress her own vote. Morons.

[MAGA2017]

Hillary is a genius diplomat? I suspect Ambassador Chris Stevens would say otherwise.

[21twelve]

I THINK she might be saying that we were “disenfranchised” under obama. But she makes it all sound like a back-handed compliment and sympathy.

They thought he was their last chance for prosperity.

Wrong! Much more than that! They thought, correctly, it was the last chance for their, and the nation's, survival!

[Swordmaker]

This fella needs to get checked for a brain tumor.

I thought he needed to be checked for a brain. . .

Disenfranchise means "to deprive someone of the right to vote".

By definition, nobody who is able to vote is disenfranchised.

[Radix]

Hillary ‘the genius.’

OK.

Next thread please.

[crosdaddy]

How about if their (legal) vote is cancelled out by an ‘illegal’ vote. I would call that disenfranchisement.

[WayneS]

I would call that voter fraud.

[21twelve]

Thank you - I was going to say (”and I’m not sure I even know what that word means”). I was thinking it was more like not being heard. Thanks!

[HamiltonJay]

Please... This is all nonsense... folks on both sides don’t vote every election, generally close to 50% don’t vote.. so finding someone whining the person they would have voted for but couldn’t be bothered to show up to vote lost is just nonsense...

THe Media is the enemy... period.

[montag813]

HILARIOUS! The media padded the “polls” with oversampled Democrats...and then are shocked when people BELIEVE them!

[Alas Babylon!]

Which makes me wonder; with all those bogus polls, how many people didn’t vote for Trump because they thought Hillary was a shoe-in?

[MoochPooch]

The part about the environment was funny. Reminds me of a Reagan quote: “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”

Either they:

1) contradict themselves

2) take something out of context and distort it

3) come up with weird ideas or conclusions

Examples:

1) They'll heroically stand up and defend illegal -- oops, non-documented -- immigrants, arguing for civil rights. But they will not defend religious people who do not want to bake cakes for gay couples.

2) Defense of gay marriage. The Bible (Genesis) says, "It isn't good for man to be alone." (But the verse continues, "So God created woman, etc.")

3) If a liberal sees only white people in the neighborhood, he/she/it(non-gender specific) assumes the place is racist.

This article is newsworthy?

[joma89]

Sorry to tell you, David, but abstaining is a vote in and of itself.
