(17,086 posts)Small population states have both disproportionate power and numbers of people with these views.
Even coupled with the propaganda/marketing campaign against Clinton, she still could have won.
But then, we have to add in voter suppression.
And she still could have won.
So, they had Comey drop his little bomb.
She still could have won, so they made sure that the count would not be accurate in critical states and there would be no chance of finding the real totals.
It has nothing to do with the message or really with Clinton. The "isms" and "phobias" won.
Hate won because white people in small population states apparently are also small and mean people. I say this as a resident of Iowa.
I can not look at my neighbors the same way, ever again. They are not decent people. They are bigots who chose destruction over inclusion.
