Hillary lost 30% of hispanics to an unrepentant racist who declared citizens of a latino country murderers and rapists.
Hillary lost 40% of union households and members to a billionaire with a history of attacking workers and workers rights.
Hillary lost 30% of Jewish voters to an anti-semite. Someone who employed literal nazi sympathizers.
Those aren't groups that sat out because they didn't think there was a difference. Those are percentages of groups that actually and actively voted for the other guy. And none of them bear any culpability in our loss?
Hillary WON states with large left/liberal populations.
Hillary LOST states with large centrist/working class/moderate populations.
Hillary was hurt by the last minute, unethical shenanigans of an FBI director who was appointed by a......wait for it.....DEMOCRATIC president.
Hillary was praised and endorsed by media, both print and broadcast outlets seen by tens of millions of people.
But it's the far left that cost the election by having their marginal, fringe media figures out there somehow magically only influencing states like Ohio and Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania?
Got it. Makes perfect sense. Totally checks out.
