I absolutely disagree


You may be right, I watched one debate and then told myself I'm not going to watch anymore. They sat on stage downtalking/talking over each other the entire time. They acted like children.

Trump won primarily because the Democrats failed to churn out the under 35 vote in the same numbers and margins that Obama did in 2008/2012 and because Trump's message resonated strongly with the white working class of the Rust Belt and Midwest.

Let's try not to read too much into our own political pet theories or beliefs as to why else he was able to get more electoral votes than Hillary Clinton.


It wasn't just under 35 they failed to turn out. Even Hispanic voters back Trump more than previous Republicans.

Hispanics swung 8 points more toward Trump than Romney based on exit polls, but Hillary Clinton lost 15-20 point margins with the under 35 vote compared to Obama in states like Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. In addition to much smaller turnout.

The DNC not rallying or turning out their young vote was a much bigger factor this election than the Hispanic vote, at least compared to 2012.

But yes, the Hispanic and Black vote not turning out as much was a was a factor in her loss. But the two I mentioned are the biggest in the Rust Belt and Midwest. A little less in Florida since the Hispanic vote is bigger there.

Who is afraid to admin it? I am not, the DNC caused this. No questioning that one bit.

Truth has been spoke.

Lol. Waiting game now, as long as we all survive the pointless riots.


No idea why democrats riot in one of the only 2 metro areas in Oregon the voted for Hillary... but life is life and I hope it goes on.

It's a very broad, unspecific claim that both sides can feel like they will be right about, so it indeed hard to disagree with.
