In tone, like Isaiah 53. “Who has believed our message?”
Donald Trump was expected to come close, but to actually win? It’s like in a number of states the victory by the skin of the teeth that Obama magically got in 2012 was reprised in 2016 for Trump.
It seems almost sure that this was due to Democrat vote shenanigans, and therefore these Democrats figured the GOP had to have done something similar. The Russians, ah, the Russians! (Forgetting who it was that sold 25% of America’s uranium to Russia a few years back. It wasn’t Donald. It was a certain lady.)
Yes. In 2012, the number was about 500,000 votes, which would have given Romney the presidency if they came from OH and FL.
In 2016, the stunning number is that while Trump won the EC by about 200,000 votes in key states, he was 510,000 votes from winning an additional SEVEN states: NV, NM, NH, VA, ME, CO, and MN. What I call the “flip factor” then, for 2020, is a shockingly low 260,000 votes to get close to 340 electoral votes.
