I agree the EC victory was very big.

I agree many illegals/fraudulent votes added to Cankles' total.

But what no one yet seems willing to come to grips with is that for whatever reason there was NO huge Trump turnout. He will be lucky to match Romney's in 2012, let alone come anywhere close to Sundance's 73 million.

While I thought he might get 62m, I couldn't get him there based on GOP turnout (85% of 31m, x 2 for each primary voter bringing one more, plus a +10 with indies and a +5 net D/R crossover). The best I got was 60m in a four way race.

So when the dust settles, regardless of where the illegal/fraud stuff comes out, Republicans simply must do a better job of turnout next time. We won't have a Cankles to run against again.

Agreed on the lower than expected turnout on the Trump side. I was among those expecting a monster vote.

I can only surmise that many voters were indeed turned off by Trump for one reason or another. I know the MSM hammered Trump 24/7 through the entire general election campaign and made him look to be just an awful person. Some of this was self-inflicted on Trump's part but the MSM went all out to destroy the man and for those who only get their info from MSM, I'm sure some damage was done.

The positive side of this is that Trump is elected anyhow and now has four years to turn those perceptions around. Once those people turned off by Trump see he's not the bogeyman the MSM made him out to be and they start seeing some results, we should be able to generate that monster vote in 2020.

And we'll probably need it then because as you point out, we likely won't have Crooked Hillary to run against next time.
