>I would. 60+ million people voting for a man as odious and unprepared as Donald Trump says a whole lot to me.

Let me rephrase: you are extrapolating the wrong thing when you say the "liberals drastically overplayed their hand" and then use this election as evidence.

Obama almost certainly would have annihilated Trump (his support in rural swing states is much stronger than Hillary's), and he's more liberal than Hillary. For all we know, Bernie could have done decently. Hillary's downfall is that she's seen as an out-of-touch corrupt establishment politician, which Trump (and Obama) were not.

Hillary's problem is that she's just not likable, in the sense that people are not going to get excited to vote for Hillary.

Obama got people excited. He had a message he got out to people and they responded in a huge way. I'm really not sure what Hillary's was.

Trump got a different set excited. Sure some are deplorable. A lot are just republicans. A lot are people who just want their lives to be as good as they used to be, or their parents were.

Hilary's problem was that she was a warmonger allied with the banks.

I've seen tons of facebook groups full of people sharing fake articles with absolutely nothing to back it up, it happened on both sides but the stuff about Hillary was completely off the wall yet people lapped it up.
