And still lose the ECTurnout will be the highest ever with the dem candidate winning 5 million more votes.
And still lose the EC
step outside your echo chambers and leftie groups and get a feel of the real world.No. In 2016 Hillary lost EC votes by less than 80k votes across three states. A record turnout simply makes that scenario unlikely to happen again.
I will say this though; if you guys are feeling defeated now then the trump machine is doing its job and you are playing nicely into his hands.

I am ... this forum.Lol! If I was in an echo chamber then all I’d be hearing is doom and gloom.
Perhaps it’s you who is in the echo. chamber.

I think voter turnout will be high. I don't think the primary is any indication of what is going to happen once the general election gets here. I think a lot of democrats right now are so torn on what the right type of candidate is to beat Trump that its hurting the energy of the party right now. However, once we've settled on a candidate, I think Dems will unite behind him or her. I don't think it really matters who the candidate is. Trump won by razor thin margins the first time around, and I think his chances are even worse this time.
I know quite a few. Most of them try to dodge how bad Trump is making the excuse that Hillary would have been even worse. Having said that, I think most of them will still vote for Trump because most of the ones I know have only ever voted republican in their lives. However, I think (hope) the third party vote this time around is going to be very low, booting Trump out this time around.I don’t know a single Trump supporter in real life. Probably because I don’t associate with morons.
He’ll probably win, America deserves him and hasn’t learned its lesson yet. Hopefully he rips the country apart. I’m tired of subsidizing red states.
Incorporated Riverside city here in So-Cal is demographically blue. The outlying areas of the county are red. You find those types coming into the city to shop, get fast food or a beer. During the Tea Party era around 2010, they were more outspoken. You could engage in a mild, detached intellectual conversation about current events, and some little thing would set them off in a self-righteous politically-charged debate.I don’t know a single Trump supporter in real life.

I'm all about cutting the military. 50% would be a good start, and shut down every overseas base while we're at it.or, one could just reduce military spending and all the other GOp boondoggles that do nothing beyond making everyone poorer, and you wouldn't be on the hook for anything.
The money is already there. It always has been. I don't understand this conservative belief that new money has to be created to spend it on--vastly cheaper things--than what we already spend it on.
Says the party of we'll change the rules for candidates when ever and where ever. Bloomberg's billions approves.I think the American people are far too aware of the blatant corruption of the Republican party for Trump to have a fair chance. Of course, I also don't even remotely believe the Republicans intend to let the election be fair. At this point I kinda expect Trump to declare himself king and McConnell, Graham, Gaetz, Nunes, Jordan and others to back that.
Democrats have already started voting. Democrats' motto: "Vote early and often."I predict that of 100 ballots cast 107 of them will be in favor of Trump.
That tired old line has been going on for 3 decades now, and has always been proven complete bullshit. A few thousand in decades, good work champ.Democrats have already started voting. Democrats' motto: "Vote early and often."
Shutting down all overseas bases isn't going to happen because the US is there to protect its own interests whether economically or security-wise. It's a net benefit to the US to have whatever bases they do have overseas. The overall size of the military could definitely be reduced though.I'm all about cutting the military. 50% would be a good start, and shut down every overseas base while we're at it.
