Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostJust because one longshot candidate handily won doesn't mean that every longshot candidate will do the same. Trump won because he's Trump, and he tirelessly campaigned against a worn and arrogant opponent, presenting a strong and consistent message that resonated with voters. Do you think Bernie would be capable of keeping up? Or even Biden? Trump is going to do like he did with Hillary and deliberately set a fast pace that will exhaust his opponents and run them into the ground.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post304 electoral college votes to Hillary's 227. Trump only needed 270 to win, so he cleared the hurdle by 34 votes and beat Hillary by 77.
So, yes, he won handily.

Hardly what I'd call, "handily won.""The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostActually it did. P.Manafort gave to the Russians targeted geographic polling data. That's what you call collusion. It's in the report that the corrupt Atty Gen. swept under the rug.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
