(15,369 posts)BernieBro supporters are exactly like most Trump voters, much as they dispute that. They hate Clinton with an unjustified and inordinate passion resembling that of Trump's most zealous and most nasty supporters. F**k every single one of them!
But you are correct, Hillary would still have had to get to 270 electoral votes. Her husband did exactly that during the rancorous election in 1992 when his opponents were Bush I and Ross Perot. it is likely that Hillary would have too. But we'll never know.
What we do know is that there was skulduggery in "red"states, a M$M that bent over backwards to cast her in the nastiest light possible no matter what she said or did, 30+ years of nonstop, unjustified and generally false attacks by the Reich Wing, lots of fake news disparaging her, James Comey's treasonous acts and Russian interference in the election, etc.
Yet with all that, she STILL won nearly three million popular votes MORE.
