Get real.
The polls were putting Obama ahead for months. Do you think conservatives thought that Hillary’s people would comfortably knock McCain over the top without their vote?
Democrats voted for McCain at between 15-20%, depending on state, according to exit polls.
Some of those were Hillary supporters.
You are right of course. I cant believe I didnt see it coming when all the indicators were there. And we fell for the PUMA scam, hook, line, and sinker..(at least I did)
Yes, it was OUR base that deserted us.
