The author is wrong that Presidential elections aren’t about arithmatic. They are, and becoming more so.
There was an article on PJMedia or Breitbart a year or so back about the Dem’s “Catalist” turnout software (presumed to be the big, all inclusive database that Maxine Waters and others bragged about) and how the Dems determined how to win elections by maximize their base turnout. Which is MUCH more cost effective, as it turns out, than trying to pull in centrist/moderate/independent voters.
It had a great chart showing where, on the political spectrum, the Dems and Republicans targeted their efforts, and the costs involved in doing so. It’s frightengly obvious that Hillary is now pursuing this same model.
The “gibsmedat” voters will carry Hillary’s fat @zz into the WH in 2017.
As for the minority who both work & uphold civic values, Hillary has a message:
“Eat it, people!”
