2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: how many people are losing sleep over the thought of Trump winning? [View all]qazplm
(3,626 posts)33. It simply requires too many things to happen
1. Women flip and go Trump over Hillary
2. Millennials don't come out at all, or vast numbers go third party (they aint going Trump)
3. Hispanics come out at low levels
4. AAs come out at low levels
5. Educated whites change their mind
6. Whites reverse significantly their declining share of the vote
I can see some of these things happening, but I highly doubt all of those things happen.

As much as the media distorts things in Trump's favor, it stands to reason
