Best election ever.
I ask my Democratic friends why Joe Biden was muscled aside and they have no answer. I think Biden would have won comfortably.
2) Sanders had a better chance of beating Trump -- say the same polls that had Hillary in a landslide (?)
3) Trump took an overwhelming majority of U.S. counties -- Ditto Romney-Obama, McCain-Obama, heck probably even Dole-Clinton.
4) The Numbers show Trump did NOT win because of racism and sexism -- but what the heck, why ruin a good liberal narrative?
“(Is this why the mainstream media’s coverage of Trump was fairly positive up until his nomination ... and then universally negative after?)”
I have now heard that line for months. And my challenge is for anyone to submit an example, on video or audio, of when the press treated Trump fairly positively.
I watched the whole whole campaign closely, and the coverage of Trump always began with a sardonic smear, and ended the same way.
Drudge offered up a sample the other day.
