I don't think you really comprehend how close Trump eked out his win. He is probably the only one that could have won and certainly wouldn't have had the Democrats ran anyone except Hillary. All you have to do is look at Georgia to see how demographic changes are coming into play. What % will whites make up the electorate in 8 or 10 years. It's shrinking every year. Not too far off when whites will not be in the majority.
And I doubt , if the parties stay in their present forms, that they ever win the popular vote again. The GOP has only won that once in the past 27 years. How many more years until the changing demographics push the Electoral College past the tipping point?

Someone like Rubio or John Kasich would have performed similar among white workers, while also maintaining much higher levels of support among suburban whites....leading to an easy popular vote and expanded EC victory.
Trump's strategy did pay off, but plenty of other people could have defeated hillary. She is the worst nominee ever.

He's obviously not smart enough to build wealth. JUST what this country needs. Another politician without a fricking clue how to build wealth.

This board could run cirles around butt boy in economics.
Maybe he's not that concerned about building wealth. You think that because you're net worth is more than his that's some how relevant to jack shite. Maybe he adheres to different priorities. He's a Harvard grad and Rhodes scholar. I'm sure if making more money were his priority he would be doing something other than occupying the mayor's office in South Bend. I mean do you realize how pathetic and insecure you sound? You'd be surprised what I've made but I don't post abut it on anonymous message board seeking validation that I'm "smarter" just because of a large paycheck. I'm quite confident that he's accomplished more in his 37 years than you ever will in your lifetime. Your post pretty much confirms it.

Only in your either ignorant of the facts or deluded mind. If a little over 30,000 voters in three Midwestern states had switched their votes or if Democrats had turned out in traditional numbers, trump would be a footnote in history.
If you don't understand this you're not working discussing this with . But but his Electoral vote tally ! Landslide !

Not at all. I used to think that was important . Made a LOT of money. Then I realized how all silly that shite was. Was miserable with misplaced priorities . I can go back do that anytime but I realized that's a lot more to life buddy. It does help that I was frugal though. Life is the best and most rewarding it's ever been for me. That's why I don't post much on here anymore. Life is good. Hope the same for you.

Will just confirm what I said. His lack of wealth indicates that he hasn't the deep understanding of how business and banking works. One of the major reasons Trump was voted for was for exactly what we have now. A world leading economy, and reduction in impediments to business development and investment. Don't see that butt boy has a resume that he can stand on when it comes to the economy. Simple enough.

Obama easily won Wi, PA, and Mi by around 8-10 points.
Don't you think it is significant that a state swings that much in only 4 years? DJT was first GOP nominee to win those states since 1988.
If Beto O'rourke had won the texas senate race by 30,000 votes, would it be fair for me to down play the huge swing by saying "well, if 30000 texans changed ther mind, cruz would have won"?

It's significant only that Trump was able to do that. You think another Republican could have done that? He will have to do that again to win. Past events and anecdotal evidence over the past few years question that. But he may very will win them again. There certainly is no sign the GOP can count on them at post Trump.

Don't laugh, but I don't think trump created the huge swing of white blue collar workers to the GOP. He was a symptom of it. 538 articles have noted that the large swings away from the dems among non-college whites started in 2010, continued in 2012, went even further in 2014, and then went huge for djt.
It doesn't have as much to do with the gop as it does with dems moving fairly left on issues that wwc union folks are normally conservative on: immigration, identity politics, etc.
