Jill Stein: If I Had Dropped Out, Donald Trump Would Have Gotten My Voters (bwaaaaha!)
Real Clear Politics ^ | On Date November 29, 2016 | Tim Hains

During an interview about her effort to recount votes in several states won by Donald Trump, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein tells MSNBC's Craig Melvin that if she hadn't been a candidate, upwards of one third of her voters would have picked Donald Trump.

CRAIG MELVIN, MSNBC: We should also not this: The margin in Wisconsin between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is about 22,000 voted. You received 31,000 votes in that state. What do you think the outcome might have been had you decided not to run?

JILL STEIN: Well, the numbers show that if I weren't running, or if I would have dropped out, most Green voters would not have voted, and of the remainder, a substantial number, more than one third, would have voted for Donald Trump. So unfortunately, the numbers are very clear that absent my campaign, the results would have been absolutely the same. It would not have changed the outcome in any state.

No, the more she talks the more Hillary Supporters will be lighting up their own Crack Pipes.

Meanwhile I continue to drown in a Sea of Liberal tears while awaiting the arrival of the Tsunami on January 20, 2017.

She practiced internal medicine. I wonder how many lives she harmed with bad judgment

If the Green Party kicked her out, who gets the recount fund?

No I think she’s probably right. It’s a very small fringe that would vote for her, and yeah, they’re far left in general, but they’re probably also even more anti-establishment and Clinton is the embodiment of establishment and Trump the antithesis. That’s good for 33%.

I think she is right.
There were many voters who refused to vote for Clinton full stop. They either stayed home, skipped the presidential vote and voted only down-ticket or voted for Trump as a protest vote against the status quo Clinton.

I’m not sure if there is any way to prove that but I doubt many of those who voted for her would have voted for Clinton had she not been on the ballot.

She’s trying to brush off guilt. Most would have voted Hillary or not voted. And the funny thing is a lot of liberals vote libertarian because of weed but don’t realize they’re really just more extreme republicans.

Everyone who voted for President Trump must fly their US flags on Inauguration Day. It will be a terrific celebration and will drive the crazies over the edge.

Will do at my Household.

I’ll be driving around town in my Red Dodge Challenger with the TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plates honking my Horn.

A guy pulled up next to me the other day and asked how I got the License Plates so fast. I told him I ordered them back in March because my Wife told me Trump would win.
