A 2016 quasi post mortem ( redux )

I scrupulously avoided 2016 Postmortem because I didn't want to add to the acrimony and it was too painful to discuss. Like most folks I believed the data and the data was flawed, however it wasn't as flawed as it seems on the surface. National polling indicated that Secretary Clinton would win the popular vote by three to four percent and she won by two percent. Actually, national polling was better in 016 than 012 when it missed President Obama's winning percentage by over three percent.

However we elect presidents by the Electoral College. Here Drumpf pulled the equivalent of a royal flush. His win was ours and the nation's loss...

My point... Forty to forty five percent of Americans would vote for Satan if he had a (R) after his name. In essence that is what they did... He didn't need much more than that.

I hope the non -Deplorable members of the GOP are ashamed of themselves. They should be.
