Yes, this wasn’t a consipracy or fraud loss, this was the GOP ecosystem NOT UNDERSTANDING 2016!!! Or refusing to accept it!!

They ran a terribly message campaign that took an easy win and turned it into a loss, pure and simple.

They ran a ROVE campaign in a TRUMP WORLD!!!

Toally agreed. People are tired of RINO’S and establishment Republicans.

It's not that there aren't conspiracies or nefarious forces...
... but using those as an excuse for basic failure to Get Out The Vote, to run a functional ‘ground game’ of motivating voters and doing logistics is pathetic.

Just like the Democrats whining about ‘Russia’- Nope- you didn't have ‘boots on the ground’, the right ads in the right places and a candidate who did what they needed to do. Whining about “Soros” or “Voter fraud” doesn't excuse laziness and incompetence.

I think many do not understand that a *LOT* of people did NOT vote ‘Republican’. Heck many of them didn’t even vote for Trump; they voted AGAINST Hillary. The fact that Trump won by 20 percent points means NOTHING if the other candidate doesn’t have the negatives of Hillary.
