In reply to the discussion: "I just don't like Hillary..." [View all]MineralMan
(149,698 posts)45. Yes, exactly.
When the facts are laid out, some people simply divert the conversation to hide that.
While Hillary won the national popular vote, that is not how Presidents are elected in this country. She lost the electoral vote, and by just a few tens of thousands of votes in three states. If you look at the number of votes for third party candidates, the explanation is simple.
Some of us remember the actual numbers and the actual history. Some of us either don't, or pretend not to.
We are facing another crucial election. I suggest we get together and make sure Joe Biden gets another term. We can do that. If we WILL do that. Let's not repeat November of 2016, please.

For my ex-neighbor, it was "he tells it like it is". She would never explain "it".

Of course not. They're just babbling what they hear the babblers on the TV say.

A lot of people who did not like Hillary still voted for her. Did those people cause Trump?

She was certainly not my first choice but I voted for her eagerly over Trump!

The polls right before election day said she had about a 2 in 3 chance of winning.

It is good to learn from history but it is useless to try to beat it to death.
