So many great points made in this thread!

Another factor: The democrat party has for many, many years encouraged its base to be lazy (welfare, EBT, 0bamaphones, free this and free that) and now it shouldn’t be surprising that they are too lazy to get up off their butts to vote.

They even made registering to vote as easy as possible with motor voter and people going around to sign people up to vote. If a person can’t be bothered to register to vote (or get an ID), what makes anyone think that person will make the effort to vote?

Another reason that the democrats want voting by mail is because much of their base is too stupid to find the polling place.

>>The movement away from the Democrats was fun while it lasted. It is over now that the Republicans have produced this disgusting budget. The Republicans have offended their base worse than the Democrats have offended theirs.<<

Exactly what I was thinking.

You are correct. Hillary’s numbers were very close to Obama’s in 2012. Trump picked up two million votes over Romney, and in the right places.

The Dims will not take heed of any of this thus ensuring Republican victories for years to come.

Norhtern ME, MI, WI and MN all have large blue collar hunting populations that traditionally vote Dem. Most of those areas flipped, or just about flipped to Trump.

Hillary, and Dem Senate candidates, talking about EOs on gun control the last two weeks of the election cost them a whole lot of votes.

Who cares.

The white house is flailing, struggling and being attacked by our own party (sort of our own party) and we’re analyzing Hitlary?

She is every divorced man’s ex-wife, regardless of ancestry.

What a horror.

TO: IBD editorial writer: Who gives two craps in hell why this witch lost? Do you care? If so, why are you posting this crap on here? We could care less about that bag of bones...we wanted her to loose, that's why no one voted for her...what part of that statement don't YOU understand???

You act like this is the most important thing in the world, we as Trump Supporters know what she is, what she has done her whole life, who she is, we DIDN'T WANT HER LEADING OUR COUNTRY!!! THE PEOPLE SPOKE AND WON!!!

I don't know who your are, and could care less, take your garbage and go post it on DU or some other garbage site...we here support President Trump...

She LOST because NO ONE COULD STAND HER!!! Her own campaign manager said she stunk: ‘smells like rotten cabbage and urine’ that is something coming out of someones mouth, and I'm sure he smells the same way or he wouldn't know what those smell like, and the ‘spirit cooking’ how involved is she into that? And the ‘child trafficking’ how involved is she in that? I know because I have researched, believe me the people do not want to know...

Take your garbage article and go home or go peddle it to some other people because WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ‘OLD BAG OF BONES; THE BUTCHER OF BENGHAZI; THE SELLER OF URANIUM TO RUSSIA; THE DEALER OF FAST AND FURIOUS, you got it yet???

It is NOT that complicated.

I didn’t vote for Hillary because she is a Democrat.

After all these years, there is nothing a Democrat could ever say to me and get my vote.

She lost because the whole country saw her lying about her Email servers.

Why isn’t she in jail yet?

I am not going to read the article - it is enough for me that Hitlery the venomous harridan lost in 2016!

HST, I’ll wager that the article never mentioned that Hitlery is a venomous harridan!

And that is the reason she lost!
