She did beat him. She won the popular vote.

Beating him would literally translate into winning which would literally translate into her being the president. That’s really weird……

Technicalities allowed him to become president, but she beat his ass when it came to American voters.
Technicalities??

You mean like the long standing rules of our elections?

That technicality?

The fact is - she lost. She did not beat him in the election. She lost. Nothing will change that fact.
Yeah... technicalities. The fact that even though someone can overwhelmingly win more votes by millions of people, they lose based on not getting the “right” votes from the right people.
Do you feel that the primaries are "rigged" the same way the general election is "rigged"? It's basically the same. People vote in a primary to choose the nominee. Millions of votes in primaries "don't count" but nobody seems to have a problem with that.

Trump won these states with less than 2% margin. He's current down - way down - in polling against every democratic candidate in almost all of these states. I imagine if the election were held tomorrow, Clinton would win. There's a lot of "buyers remorse".

That being said, I don't want to see her run again unless it's as VP.
Poll data worked out well for you last time, did they?

Our election system does not include a participation trophy for losing. The “popular vote” has zero definition or meaning in our system.

How we elect Presidents is well documented. Do you need some links to learn about it?

Trump won those battleground states within the margin of polling. I'm not saying that poll data is totally accurate (but damn Trump seems to like it) however Trump is decidedly more unpopular now than he was during the 2016 election. Do you think he could win against Clinton in a current race? If so, what are you basing that conclusion?

He wasn’t that popular in the 2016 election. There was a definite anti-HRC vote. He was unknown but supported the GOP agenda.

Yes, he would win easily against her. At this point he’s solidified a base. His supporters believe in him because he’s done a lot of what he said he would do. And he hasn’t changed. The more democrats target him, the more his base is solid and grows. You won’t see that in polls.

Do you feel that his base is sold and growing? What do you base this on?

I am fully aware, I am simply saying what she said is not false. Get over it.

Solid?

Yes I do - that’s why I said that.
Growing? Yes.
More and more I see campaign signs - which were almost non-existent in 2016. Last week driving from VA to PA, I was pleased to see the Trump 2020 signs throughout Northern VA and the Baltimore area. At rallies I see more groups than before.

I spend a lot of time with really wealthy people who have been pro-Trump but I’ve started seeing more and more outward support from people of different economics and from diverse ethnicities.

I know that’s all anecdotal, but it’s my experience from traveling for work. And I travel a lot.
