How quickly we forget Ralph Nader and Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore.
Michael Moore was the one who warned us that Trump could win. I ignored him at the time, but he was right: it was all a matter of mathematics. All Trump had to do was to carry all the states that Romney won in 2012 (all but a given) and then get the four Rust Belt states of PA, OH, MI and WI.
And that is where the GOP (and their confederates) concentrated their efforts and succeeded.
