I'm getting two pictures about the turnout, a little confusing:
The overall turnout was low for both parties.
The turnout for Trump, compared to the turnout for Clinton, was quite high.
Is that correct? It looks contradictory, but I guess it doesn't have to be.
IMO, that's the pundits trying to spin it so that the sting of the loss doesn't hurt as bad. I've also heard, "she had more votes..." blah, blah, blah. The cold reality is that if you take away CA and NY, her strongholds, she lost badly by almost 4M votes. That is the brilliance of the Electoral College of this Republic. The Founding Fathers did indeed have their futuristic vision goggles on when they wrote the constitution.
The Dems got what they deserved. They shutdown a Jew who openly talked about cleaning house on the party, whom they thought couldn't be elected, and served up a criminal instead. D'oh!
What has surprised me is that there have been no criminal investigations into this yet.
I wonder if Trump will follow through on his promise to nail HRC to the cross.
