re: #597 Big Beautiful Door

More than half voted against Drumpf.

He won because he won PA and WI.

He won WI because Hillary turns out to not have been a popular Democrat candidate. Her turnout in WI was much below Obama’s 2008.

Same in Iowa.

So the Republican victory is the narrowest of one. A combination of super-high negatives for Clinton suppressing the Democrat turnout, and perhaps some religious angle going on in PA and NC. In a super close race it doesn’t take many religious right churches to vote en bloc to swing the whole thing.
