Trump Out-Campaigned Clinton by 50 Percent in Key Battleground States in Final Stretch
NBC News ^ | 11/13/2016 | ANTHONY TERRELL

Posted on 11/13/2016 1:49:23 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

President-elect Donald Trump heavily out-campaigned his Democratic opponent in the last 100 days of the election, spending roughly 50 percent more time in six key battleground states that pushed him to victory on Nov. 8.

Over the final 100 days of the election, Trump made a total of 133 visits to Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin. Over the same time period, Hillary Clinton visited the first five of those states a total of 87 times. She never traveled to Wisconsin during the 102 days between the convention and the election.

Instead, Clinton sent her top surrogates to Wisconsin including her running mate Sen. Tim Kaine, her daughter Chelsea Clinton and her primary opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Trump ended up winning Wisconsin by 1 point, the first time a Republican presidential candidate has triumphed there since 1984.

Politically speaking of course...

...someone shoulda had this talk with Hillary:

Listen, and understand! That TRUMPINATOR is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!

When Obama pardons Clinton on the grounds of bad health, it’s 50/50 that his justification is true.

Surrogates can helps to some degree, I do believe, but they absolutely cannot help with a candidate as damaged as HRC was. There were too many aspects of her character, health, demeanor, and politics that did not align in the universe with the majority mood of the country. She was taken out by Obama in 2008. And another man in 2016. Political correctness, V-power, and surrogates couldn’t do it for her. She was Humpty-Dumpty.

She wants to blame Comey, and to her I say knock yourself out trying to establish that. The only reason Comey had to deal with this in calendar 2016, was that she dragged her feet in supplying responsive e-mails to the State Department in 2015. She is responsible for the timing.

I think things like the video of her collapsing on 9/11 and the rather sketchy cover story that was fabricated in its aftermath was something that disturbed people at a fundamental level. When people saw her, looking like a feeble grandmother, above a podium with the “Stronger Together” slogan - it was a dissonant contrast, and not something she could overcome.

Simply glad she was vanquished.

Framing it as her campaigning at 50% of Trump’s level during the last six weeks to election day, is a mockery of truth.

She was wandering into coffee shops with a captive audience of 50 who came solely for coffee or breakfast, while he was walking in to arenas with 10,000 people attending, who came solely to see him.

What arenas she did walk into had musical artists and others to draw very small crowds in. Once gain, his audiences all came to see him. They were five to ten times as big on the inside, with anywhere from 10 to 100% as many outside.

He was doing this three to five times per day.

If she was described as campaigning 10% of what he did, I’d still argue about it.

There were days on end where she didn’t seem to crawl out of bed.

Apparently Trump also had a kick-ass GOTV ground game that got little notice. So much was said about Hillary’s vaunted ground game, but it turns out Trump’s army was on the ground and on the move in the battlegrounds.

She was incapacitated at 3:00 A.M during election night. Had to send Podesta out instead. My guess is a Parkinson's overnight off state..

Trump out-campaigned Hillary’s ground game. How did he do that?

Same guy who is his chief of staff.

She thought the “Clinton” name would be enough. Just as Jeb though the “Bush” name would have been enough.

"Our analysis is that Comey's letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum," Clinton said in a call with donors Saturday, according to a source who participated in the call.
Hillary would be well advised to clam up about any implication that questions about her abuse - proven abuse - of classified information was unwarranted. The only thing between her and the hoosegow over that was the fig leaf that she didn’t know what classified information was, and there was no intent to do anything wrong.

Given that the writer of Hard Choices wanted its reader to understand that Hillary was no babe in the security woods, that first will not wash. The more so since protocols in the government had to be consciously violated to illegally strip the classification markings off of emails - emails which the government refused to release to the public unreacted, on security grounds. And which were found to exist, unreacted, on a computer used by a pedophile.

And given that her use of a clandestine, illegal server obstructed justice (in the sense that it was a transparent, once publicly known, effort to prevent the satisfaction of FOIA requests from unearthing Clinton Foundation and pay-to-play abuses by the Secretary of State), there is no want of obvious motivation on Mrs. Clinton’s part.

In her shoes I would not be taunting people who will soon be in a position to take the above information to a Grand Jury.

Yes and he won the 11 states by 818,000 votes.

They are not called the battleground for nothing, and the lopsided voting elsewhere is irrelevant.

Got to give it to President Elect Trumph. He worked hard and was unrelenting in achieving the goal of POTUS. That alone was inspirational
To watch.

Trump has a covenant with the voters to prosecute Clinton.

He promised to do it, and that is what assured his election.

We need to hold his feet to the fire.

Actually, my point was that Obama in the mid-term elections of 2010 & 2014 had no political coat tails whatsoever!!! And...he certainly drew zero support for nutcase, lunatic, crooked, criminal, Hillary Clinton in2016!! And.....that moron, Tim Kaine, where in the Lord’s name did Clinton ever dig up this dumb, poor excuse for a human being!!!

I am, however, most grateful to dumbbutt POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, who in his eager attempt to destroy the American Republic, screwed all African-Americans, with the aid & help of his buddies in the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP, ending up destroying himself politically, his legacy and, the entire Democrat Party!!! LMAO!!!

Funny stuff. I’ll bet that happened in a lot of households up in the big cities. Oh well, Clintoon will only be 78 in 8 years. Look at Bernie, he’s an old man and he almost won. Heh heh heh. Besides, Clintoon is now out walking around in the woods doing unexpected encounter photo ops. She’ll probably feel a lot better in 2024.

We have been short changed by politicians who use the Presidency to further their own financial interests and get onto the most exclusive golf courses.

No worries ... Trump already OWNS the most exclusive golf courses!! ;-)
