    Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt all those state houses have the same idea of what it means to be a Republican

    County-by-county/independent township, she got annihilated.
    Trump won all of West Virginia's 55 counties and all of Oklahoma's 72 counties. Every one.
    Even in a number of "blue" and battleground states he dominated: 56-11 in PA, 59-13 in WI, 27-12 in WA, 28-8 in OR, 78-9 in MN, 93-6 in IA, 91-11 in IL.

    When you call the election for the candidate who loses, it's kind of an automatic F. :)

    Yeah, but Cleveland, with the home-field tiebreaker, won the World Series this year.

    Isn't Obamacare settled law?

    You'd be surprised. The birth-control mandate, for example ... that can be changed with the stroke of a pen.

    That rule would make sense, but gotta lay that out beforehand

    I don't know why, but I'll take him at his word, for now. I don't trust the thumpers in his administration trying to roll back rights.

    You voted for white nationalism, and you're going to get it. Don't complain.

    Romney also won the entirety of Oklahoma and West Virginia and did remarkably well across the map in 2012. So that's not new. Romney also had 400,000 more votes than Trump. So the real change was not so much that Trump dominated but that Clinton got fewer people to turn out for her.

    She won fewer than 500 counties/townships, nationally. He won more than 2,500.
    That is a bigger problem than turnout.
