Comment of the Day: Clinton Winning Edition
Not only won it, but won it by very big numbers. No wonder
Trump gets freaked out by it. I have looked at the vote totals for every
post war presidential election. And here are the facts. Hillary Clinton
beat Trump by more votes than Truman beat Dewey in 1948; more votes
than Kennedy beat Nixon in '60; more votes than Nixon beat Humphrey in
'68; more votes than Cater beat Ford in '76; and more votes than
"President" Gore beat Bush in 2000.
So, I am (bitterly) amused by all the "analyses" of how Hillary
didn't connect with the voting public. Well, she sure as Hell connected
with more of the voting public than Donald Trump did, and she won a
bigger victory than a lot of post war presidents, including at least two
-- JFK and Jimmy Carter -- who are venerated by the commentariat left.
Moreover, she won it by warning the country about Donald Trump; she was
right about him, just as she was right about so much more.
