Doesn't that say a lot more about Hillary than about Don Trump? If hard-core leftists were willing to take a chance n Trump rather than Hillary, whose fault is that?

... according to an analysis of voter data released Tuesday by the blog Political Wire.

Well with a credible source like that it must be true.

There may have been some voters like this but my best guess is it was a very small number. Not voting or voting for Jill Stein or some other maybe write in person would be the bulk of what disgruntled Sanders voters did. Sanders campaigned for H during the campaign a little bit as well.

I think the fake news might actually be right on this mark.... BUT they seem to ignore that TRUMP HIMSELF made appeals to Bernie voters...because he KNEW that they, too, were sick of the business as usual.

Trump also said that Bernie, though crazy, was essentially right regarding trade, and how the American worker was not being put first by Washington.

Democrats were playing the antihistory and brand & celebrity card, and then Trump came in. We got history, brand and celebrity in a candidate.

The Bernie Bros stayed home on election day.

And in 2000 Gore could’ve taken Florida if couldve gotten all of the votes of the extreme left socialist and communist parties even without the Red International Greens.

But it poisons the well. As the Democrat Socialists court the Socialist Communist vote they turn off the blue collar Democrats who still dislike Communism and Socialism.

“2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Survey”

Follow the trail of this outfit (academics) and who actually does the survey for it - out of Palo Alto California together with another Left-of-center outfit.

Clinton expected it to be handed to her
Clinton behaved oddly (strapped to a chair exclaiming “why aren’t I 50 points ahead”, etc)
Clinton has obvious health problems (hauled up stairs, numerous coughing fits, passing out, response to bright lights)
Clinton insulted half the country (basket of deplorables)
Clinton spouts leftist sanctimony

And of course, Clinton is a lying traitor.

Clinton lost because of Clinton. It’s nobody’s fault but hers. Own it.
