That’s true, but nearly 8 million votes means that quite a few people in states that went for Trump, including in razor thin margin states like FL, PA, WI, MI, would have switched votes. Vote flipping isn’t going to be constrained to states where Clinton already won handily.

Probably true; but I’m just arguing that you have to be careful about the statistics. Regret isn’t spread uniformly across the population. As Mark Twain said, “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics”
