[after Trump had the GOP nomination sewn up he was in charge of a movement on the floor to try & stop Trump from moving forward...for what? So that Hillary could win easily in November.]


Helping Hillary was not their intention. They believed, as Hillary did, that Trump’s nomination meant a surefire victory for Hillary. And, in fact, Hillary did win the popular vote by about 3m votes. What they hadn’t reckoned on was the possibility that Trump’s focus on the Rust Belt, combined with Hillary’s overconfidence and neglect of the region in favor of a quixotic attempt to win Georgia and a few other red states would result in razor-thin margins for Trump in the Rust Belt states that would elevate him to the presidency. Hillary kicked Bill’s advice to the curb so she could say she did it her way. She certainly did.

Hillary did not win the popular vote. She won a plurality. Quit spewing Lib talking points.

Smarten up.

Lee was dense....had no feel for the populism that was spreading. A lot of folks had Trump winning all along.

Lee’s judgment sucked.
