Exit polls last night revealed that women voted 54% to 42% for Clinton.
Do you know how many states we lost by less than five percentage points?
We barely eeked out a win yesterday. Is it dawning on you yet why?
Women were never projected to go for Trump (or any republican ... for a long time). What can CHANGE is the percentage SHIFT. Even a small percentage shift in a large block can have a big impact. This is math.
There will be a lot of stats coming out and we will see how much a shift (if it occurred) was a factor. These evaluations are yet to be done.
In any case, conservatives need to continue to work on making those SHIFTS larger in the future in every voting block, but especially among women simply because of math and the fact that the voting block is the largest.
This is MATH and it is how campaigns evaluate their chances ... not by majorities in each group, which are pretty much set (Clinton was never going to get a majority of male votes and Trump was never going to get a majority of female votes) but by SHIFTS in the percentages in each group.
