re: #55 JordanRules

Do we grade election results with Russian interference in mind? There’s still a lot we don’t know about that. One thing we do know, Hillary got 3 million more votes.

Doesn’t matter if Dems run up the score in a few deep blue states. The archaic, craptastic slave-state-relic known as the Electoral College is the decider. So why couldn’t Dems do better in enough states to make the difference, states Obama won?

As for Russian interference, it can’t account for longer-term systemic problems like how many congressional/state/local races the Dems lost between 2008 and now.

There’s also this - all the people who said “I don’t care if Trump is [fill in laundry list of flaws], he’ll make America great again/bring back jobs/shake things up”? Why didn’t we have an equal or larger number of people who said “I don’t care if Hillary [fill in fake scandal du jour], she’ll [do something good I really want]?”

Instead, the swing-voter support was more like, “Meh, I don’t like/trust her, but she’s the only alternative to trump” :(
