Higher war casualties in key swing states may have swung November’s presidential election away from Hillary Clinton, a new study suggests.
The study, published last month, found a relationship between states with high numbers of war casualties and an increase in Republican support in the 2016 presidential election.
Boston University political science professor Douglas Kriner and University of Minnesota law professor Francis Shen authored the study and wrote, “Trump’s ability to connect with voters in communities exhausted by more than fifteen years of war may have been critically important to his narrow electoral victory.”
Three swing states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan — all went to Trump by thin margins. They also all had a median number of casualties statewide, with about 25 casualties per million residents.
The authors wrote their findings reveal that had the casualty rate been slightly lower in those three key states — say, closer to the rate in neighboring New York, with about 15 deaths per million — the states would have flipped and instead gone to Clinton, which would have given her the White House.....

The only way the Democrats could have won was by running someone other than Clinton. She was the wrong candidate for the time.
Hillary could have won if she was someone else other than Hillary.
I hope Hillary runs in 2020..please run in 2020 Hillary.
Choose Al Bore as your VP,too!
Agree, bob. In fact, the delicious thing is that the Search Engines -- the biggest media influencers in today's world -- are huge users of BIG DATA.
And yet, we Deplorables defeated them, in part, because we turned their social media propaganda tools against them.
The battle to defeat the partisan media has just begun. Can't wait to see how new media, perhaps a major new cable network, will emerge to bring back sanity.
Shouldn’t this subhuman criminal be in prison?
She also could have won if she wasn’t a lying, money-grubbing, law-breaking, radical Leftist, corrupt witch.
No matter what catastrophes befall them........
no matter what filth they're involved in is on public view.......
they sap-happily carry on as if nothing happened.
I’d given an ironic congrats to the war lust crowd here, but they all probably voted for Clinton anyway.
LOL!
If there are alternate universes, she probably won in one of them and I sincerely wish libtards would STFU and go there.

Coincidence is not causality.
Ha ha ha please go away fake professors. This is a classic syllogism. A silly conclusion drawn from a true but unrelated fact.
I’ll bet you had fun making that list.
I did, and I took it seriously. After the first dozen excuses hit the news, I started my list. With quite a few, I had to check carefully before I believed they were serious and from a genuine Hillary supporter/surrogate, rather than a parody of Hillary being a sore loser.
Astrology?
Voting against Hillary because Obama is black?
A thousand Russian agents working every day?
Democrats not making the right documentaries?
Concern about Hillary being a lizard?
People hating Hillary because she is so professional, so polished, such a wonderful lawyer, so brilliant, so good, so righteous, and so much better than us?
And IF the queen had balls she’d be king.
Do I really have to put a sarcasm tag on this? Lol
Sounds reasonable. Trump ran AGAINST the constant warring of the Neocons and their Democrat enablers, including Hillary. Seems that may have worked for him.
