1. That statement will set off

a massive earthquake in Georgia for sure.

[triron]

2. I also wonder whether voter suppression (and the Russians) kept

Hillary from winning Georgia in 2016.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Hillary Clinton knows

of what she speaks. During the tail end of the Campaign it was very evident whom the suspected players were in jacking our Democratic Campaigns. In our Campaign Office,we took extra precautions as our Log On's and Communications with the New York Office.

Burner phones do work wonders.

7. 42% self-identified conservatives prevented Hillary from winning Georgia

Simply too much of a gap down to the 22% liberals. Not exactly complicated. In the decades I have followed this we have never won a state in which that gap was greater than 11%. Hillary lost Georgia by more than 230,000 votes compared to roughly a 55,000 deficit for Abrams in 2018.

The number of liberals is going up. That is the great news. That is the reason some of these states like Arizona and Georgia are now in play. Arizona reported 40% conservatives in 2016. Normally that wouldn't be close to competitive. But since the number of liberals soared all the way up to 27%, now we aren't far from that 11% gap.

Contrast to when I started following this and the number of liberals nationally was always in the 20-21% range. I was shocked when it reached 26% in 2016, despite the electoral loss. That was easily the greatest untold story of that cycle. Then 2018 followed with 27% despite an electorate that is older and more white than presidential years.

All the long terms trends are positive. But ousting an incumbent is the single most difficult task in American politics, if that incumbent's party has held power only one term. There is more benefit of a doubt than there should be, no matter what it looks like.

We need to get Georgia and Texas and Arizona below 40% conservatives. That can happen as the older generation is replaced by blue generations voting more dependably, along with new registers favoring our side. Currently Arizona is 40%, Georgia 42% and Texas 44%.

16. These statistics and polls make your claims very suspect:

https://www.politifact.com/georgia/statements/2012/sep/10/mike-berlon/which-party-has-more-supporters/

Hillary lost Georgia quite likely due to a combination of voter suppression, Russian efforts
to discredit her and embellish Trump on social media, and probably some vote manipulation by
the Russians in conjunction with corrupt Republican traitors.

21. The Comey Letter cut a minumum of

3% off Hillary's Support. Our Volunteer Get out the Vote saw it in real time the last three days of the Campaign,and we had some 80k vote lead in early voting. Yes it was a combination of several negative factors.

BTW,in Wisconsin,Ohio,Pennzy and Michigan,the Gop Hammered the hell out of the Comey Letter in the last three days.

[triron]

23. I'm sure the Ruskies took big advantage of that too.

In fact I wonder how much of a hand they may have had in instigating it?

[brandnewday2009]

19. I hope so.

4. Republicans can no longer hold national power without election theft.

Same goes for more and more states. This is not a conservative white Christian male nation, much less an ultrawealthy conservative white Christian male nation.

We thought they'd be forced to change, to segregate, to survive within our democracy. Instead they've increasingly decided on a very different means of taking and keeping control.

6. election theft with foreign aid

It is evident that they are willing to accept foreign aid to subvert our elections in order to gain or maintain power.

[yaesu]

10. Republicans are foreign agents. nt

5. Thank you, Hillary!

[calimary]

9. Yes. Thank you, Madame President.

DAMMIT what we could have had. Would have had. And SHOULD have had.

The CONS cheated. With help from a Hostile Foreign Power. He will NEVER be a legitimately elected “President.” He fucking CHEATED.

[triron]

17. It's galling isn't it. Damn it, in all sports competition, if someone were found to have

cheated, the next competitor would be awarded the win. And any result in sport
is far less impactful than this 'political' one! A democracy should not allow this.
What does this say about our system?

[DAMANgoldberg]

8. And I might add..

Andrew Gilliam should be Governor of Florida
Bill Nelson should have continued to be a Senator from Florida
Dan McCready should be the NC-9 representative (not my congressman, but from SE Mecklenburg and points SE)

[Cha]

12. Yes!

[RobertDevereaux]

11. The winner of the Democratic primary...

...would do well to consider choosing Stacey Abrams as his or her VP running mate.

[in2herbs]

13. I like that suggestion. nt

[cstanleytech]

14. I would not go that far.

That aside she should look at running for Senator to replace Perdue who is a sack of shit imo.

[triron]

24. Hey, that's a good idea. She would be an awesome force in the Senate.

[dlk]

15. It's Become Obvious-In Addition to Not Believing in Democracy, Republicans Are Also Afraid of It

We have seen, over and over, the great lengths they will go to in order to subvert our democracy, and we all pay the price.

[charlyvi]

18. HILLARY UNLEASHED!

As it should have been all along.

[ZeroSomeBrains]

20. She would be governor if not for the actions of the state's Secretary of State

The same Secretary of State that was running against Stacey Abrams.

[Initech]

22. Another election stolen from us!!

They just can't help themselves from stealing. God damn them.
