Love your posts, but this was NOT in the same league as the W election.
You are shorting the huge changes in the midwest, and minimizing the difference between 180,000 votes and 937, plus the difference in electoral votes of 306 to just over 270.
PA, MI, WI, Minnesota in play, those haven't been in play or even close since Reagan. Those states went over the top because of a huge turn in public opinion.
I am not discounting God's hand, it was clear, just think you may be underselling what happened.
I thought it was 311 after Arizona finally came through a few days after the election.
If you think 170,000 votes in four or five states means they were “in play,” then we have serious vote analysis to do.
These states can all be “had”-—including MN, VA, NH, and, I think, even NJ and DE next time. But we cannot hide our heads in the sand and pretend this was a massive Trump turnout.
This was a “Let’s give him a shot” election. You can bet when election day MN voters went 2:1 Trump, they weren’t died-in-the-wool Republicans. They were indies and Ds who just had had enough of Obama.
We should all celebrate the victory, but in doing so PLEASE don’t delude yourselves into thinking this was some sort of mandate, except for change. It was Americans agreeing to try something else. Trump can change that to “We like what Trump is doing” in four years, but we won’t do so if we pretend that overwhelming numbers of voters put him in office. Realism is your friend.
