Just wondering. Can this be proven by the numbers? How much did Hillary raise and spend on her campaign, the Democrats, independent PACS, others vs Trump, the Republicans and his supporting PACS and others?
I’m waiting for them to accuse all of us “Deplorables” of colluding with and being paid by the Russians too! Calling the left unhinged and crazy is too charitable!
Ok, just heard it again. It was Hillary herself. Fox News ran a clip of her claiming she lost due to the NRA and Russia. She also blamed the FBI and sexism.
The NRA doled out less than 2 million, like 1.8 if I remember correctly, last election to ALL candidates. Peanuts in comparison to many groups, etc.
Yeah, her needle is kinda stuck in that groove.
Will she ever admit that she just wasn't electable?
You’re right. After a billion with a B, who’s counting? Trump did not need NRA money to win. He was that good and still is.
Not only the NRA and Russia but Christians too!
I’m in D.C. this week, and it is perfectly clear what is going on.
There is no such thing as the truth or a lie.
There is only an outcome through manipulation of opinion.
The side that cares about the truth is delusional when they believe the truth will sway others to their side.
Until a person realizes their life is worse off voting for A rather than B, they won’t change.
Even if it is better, that may not be enough if they are convinced their personal sacrifice is for the greater good of their cause.
Safety, security, personal financial health and opportunity without judgement are the only way to win people over.
Trump understands this, continually reminding everyone of their betterment under his leadership.
The sickness of liberalism is pervasive.
Their lies more so.
We must support Trump and have his back at all cost or we will lose our Free Republic.
We have to do this. Amen. What you said.

NBC News claims that the NRA spent $9.6 million supporting Trump and $12 million opposing Hillary.
The Washington Post claims that Clinton’s campaign totaled $768 million in spending and Trump’s totaled $398 million.
If Hillary couldn’t overcome the NRA while outspending them 60:1, it’s not the NRA that stopped her. Similarly, the NRA’s pro-Trump message was dominated at 40:1 by the Trump campaign message. Additionally, the NRA’s messaging was primarily national, not focused on key states. The numbers would say that the NRA’s message was big enough to be noticed, but it should not have been decisive. As for NRA members as voters, the 5 million pro-gun voters were all scared to death of Hillary, and they certainly made a difference.
Thank you very much, Pollster1!! Good info. Confirms my memory.
