2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders: "Powerful interests...hate my guts, and I welcome their hatred" [View all]daleanime
(17,796 posts)74. The question is serious, wouldn't ask other wise.....
if the primaries were held today, do you really think there would still be 16 republican candidates? Not going to happen, tRump might not listen to the PTB in the republican party, but most the other candidates will. Now if Bu$h lost between the two of them, that would make tRump the tougher opponent. Not going to happen of course, but still true. More votes, more electable.
I ask this question because I see it stated time and time again, that Hillary is more 'electable'. That's decided by voting, right? If you get more votes, you're elected. It seems really simple to me.
