I'm hearing over nine million. In Michigan, she got 300,000 fewer votes than Obama did in 2012, 230,000 fewer in Wisconsin (Trump got exactly the same number of votes as Romney there). Clinton's black voter turnout dropped 11% compared to Obama's in 2012; she might have won North Carolina if blacks had turned out for her like they did for Obama. In Pennsylvania, the narrative of Trump stirring up working class voters in his favor has a little more going for it, he at least did better than Romney there.
I was shocked that against a man like Trump, Democrats couldn't get out the vote, even with a candidate with Clinton's unfavorable rating. I thought she was going to win. It is extremely important to understand why she lost and not make the same mistakes next time.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
