True, but so did Gore in 2000. That didn't stop the shrub from becoming the next president. I doubt it will stop Trump. There's a sliver of a chance, because a lot of Republicans were adamantly against Trump, that they'll go with someone else, but I doubt it. Still, I don't understand why so many of the people who claim they hate Bush are so willing to listen to so many voices who all supported Bush. I mean, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Alex Jones.... they all loved Bush up until it became obvious that everyone else hated him. Then they got silent on the issue and we're willing to listen to them? I hate the short term memory of the electorate.

Trump won the most gerrymandered states. I would not be surprised if a good chunk of the voters missing from 2012 were stopped from voting.

Well, let's use just one state as an example. The difference between Trump and Clinton was 27k votes, roughly. In that state, laws t put in place after gutting the voters rights act...that specifically targeted certain demographics™ meant that somewhere around 300k registered voters did not have "proper identification", and thus, could not vote.
This state, ofc, was Wisconsin.
Want to hear how it played out in the other states that were instrumental to the trumpster? There won't be any surprises.

"The trumpster."LOL I'm going to remember that one. Can I use it, daddy?
