not compared to Europe

Strong debating skills you have there....

So those people voted for Obama and then swapped to trump over race or were they life long republicans who were going to vote for whomever the Republican ticket was? My guess it was the later of the two. Trump may have had the support of racists, and he himself is racist, but that does not mean he won because of…

Once again, I am anti-trump and this list was to show why the Democrats lost the election. Until the democrats understand why they lost, they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

Your making the assumption that I voted for Hilary, which I did not. She is a war hawk whose hard line anti-Russia stance worried me.

I can’t even follow that first sentence.

So your excuse is “they did it first”; That’s fine when your campaign is not “Change”.

So using racially based personal assumptions you are discounting polling information that has been used for decades...

No it really didn’t. None of the minor but vocal group for whom race mattered would have ever voted for a Democratic candidate.

Unless you live in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, or Maine our votes are all equally worthless.

You need to analyze the data you have, not the data you would like.  If you have a better source please share.

I in no way denied the long history of sexism in this country and rather than attempting to deflect my point with false equivalencies lets keep on topic.

Yeah there are lots of them, its hard to look at the exit poll numbers and not realize that is true, especially in the less advantaged areas of the USA.

Of course racism exists, but it wasn’t the driving force behind Trump’s win. The democrats are continuing to make the big mistake that they made in the election. Rather than acknowledging the major issues that lead to Hilary’s loss and adjusting their strategy, they use “racism” as an excuse.

There are two ways to look at it.  We certainly over spend, but because we have such a large force other countries don’t bother to spend as much.

The draft will not be coming back. If it did the politicians wouldn’t be able to attack so many countries. (plus the military is against it)

Well you can call them a troll but there is a lot of truth there that helped to explain the rise of the “outsider” candidate. Despite being elected on a platform of Change, very little changed.

And yet Hillary received substantially fewer votes that Obama and Trump won in areas Obama won in the previous election.

Your ignoring the early polls that said Hillary would loose to Trump whereas Bernie would win. Trump didn’t win because of popularity, Hilary lost because she ran a poor campaign and is genuinely not liked by most voters.
