Make of it what you will. Mainly, I think this shows that Hillary was not an awful candidate, she was a competitive candidate. But she was ultimately defeated by her own negatives driving votes to third party candidates.
I stand by my claim that if all who didn't want Trump had voted for Hillary, we wouldn't have Trump. |
You have to recognize and account for the sort of candidate, Hell, the sort of human being, Trump is. It took an extremely weak and flawed candidate to led him get to within 150,000 votes out of the 125,000,000 votes cast.
