Going into election night, anyone with a brain, and who was honest would have told you this simple truth:
Hillary’s only chance to win was to hold Florida.... it was the ONLY state she had any shot of holding, but equally true by election night, the early voting numbers showed the odds of her holding FL were less than 50%.
That was the only state that really needed to be watched on election night... If Hillary was able to squeak out with it, she might be able to hold on for a squeaker win... Even if PA fell to Trump, which it almost certainly would.... she holds MI and WI and she eeks out a win.
Had she held FL, then watching the upper mid west would have been far more exciting, especially because it was obvious, LONG LONG LONG before the networks were even paying attention she was losing PA... And that MI and WI were not looking good for her either.
FL was the only state that mattered on election night... it was the only real path Hillary had to hold... if it fell, the honest odds PA was not going Trump were minimal. In the end Trump did indeed take the entire Upper Midwest (sans MN and IL) just like I had predicted, so Florida wasn’t even needed for him to win.. but it was always an ABSOLUTE MUST win for Hillary.. and the honest odds were going into election night based on early voting breakdown, far under 50-50 she would hold it.
The election as presented by the press, was a complete and TOTAL lie, at all levels....
Hillary was ALWAYS the least likely win based on fundamentals... Piss poor economy and an unpopular sitting president.. and those are the facts jack..... Trump assured himself that he had the tactical win as well when he tossed globalist policies overboard and went against open borders and free trade... once he did that, the long overdue realighnment of the upper midwest/rust belt was almost guaranteed... may not have wound up every state like it did, but certainly would have taken enough that Hillary had no path.
Trump had this won before it even started...
After Dade County was counted and Mrs Xlinton barely won there . . . I went to bed and slept quite well. I got up later just to watch Megan Smelly weeping those delicious tears and bleeding out onto her chair
“Trump had this won before it even started...”
Yup...agree with your whole post...I was saying during the primaries that we needed Trump to win Florida. Florida was IT and even more so because it was a settled matter that Trump would take Ohio and Iowa...that’s 24 EV’s he had over Clinton to start the night....add FL’s 29 and you have a 53 EV swing.
She really never had a chance!
