I'm surprised a liberal candidate can still get 48% of the vote in this country. To me, liberalism is a long-dead corpse -- the rot and stink are obvious. But a lot of other Americans looks at the same thing and see something they like.
Most of that 48% are still getting their information from the MSM. A few are either locked into dependency or have invested so much emotional capital into the Left that they will lie to themselves rather than face reality.
