My friends in Central Florida said that Trump organization was hardly visible. The Dems had a very large active organization...employed a lot of people.

And then there's AK's ellipsis monster.

I have most of the professional sellers on BT as a defensive maneuver and it works.

I was in Central Florida three weeks before the election.
My travels took me between Orlando on the east to Clearwater Beach on the west. I saw many many Trump signs and very few Clinton signs. When I mentioned it here before the election I was told that that didn't mean anything. But apparently it did. As for organization and ground game I hear Clintons was quite extensive. But it didn't pay off. She got way less votes than Obama got in 2008 and 2012. She didn't even get as many votes as Romney.

But Trump got about the same as Romney.
So, the Repubs are up against their ceiling, but the Dems, with a better candidate, have many more available.

Clinton should have won this election in a runaway. They had the machine, the money, the media. That she lost speaks to a combination of (I believe), ineptness, complacency, and inattention to key battleground states.
If a run for the Presidency does not bring out your A game, what does?
Sanders is a muppet but he fought harder.

The key to this election was the youth vote for Hillary and they were energized by Bernie's campaign. And how Obama won in his first term and Hillary lost. When I posted this, guess what happened? A poll was linked showing 99% (and I exaggerate) of Bernie's supporters were going to vote for Hillary.
Polls won out over common sense.

This is too true. Both Top Pot counter girls I flirted with this morning voted for Bernie in the primary, but didn't vote in the general election. The other two kids I know who Berned the primary didn't vote Tuesday either. Just anecdotal, but that's Bernie 5 and Clinton 0.
