(122 posts)Yes she won the popular vote but for me the fact that she only got 48% of the vote compared to Drump's 47% is cause for concern. The race should have never been that close, it should have been a landslide for Hillary. You have one candidate that has never held a public office against someone who has and has been involved in some capacity with government for almost 30 years.
Say this had been a job opening and they both applied for it. If you would have compared their two resumes it would have been a no brainier. Any HR person would have said that Drump is clearly unqualified for the job. And yet 47% of voters voted for him.
I know you can blame the Russians or Comey but Drump had just as much bad stuff come out as Hillary. I mean my god there is a tape with him saying he just grabs them by the pussy, and he still won!!! This should have been a landslide for her and it wasn't, why?
From what I can tell in my area of Ohio it's because Drump "told it like it is" and was "anti-establishment" and Hillary was seen as same old same old and was hated by a lot of people not just on the right. For example I have two friends who voted for Obama in the last two elections, one decided not to vote at all and the other voted for Drump. Why? Because they hated Hillary. I really think if she would have been up against Cruz or Bush she would have been crushed in a landslide. We really underestimated the hatred out there against her from moderates and even sad to say democrats.
