Title: If hillary won Post by: Da2017 on February 15, 2017, 12:12:44 PM Let,s say Hillary Clinton won the election. What criticism would there have been on the Trump campaign? Who would he blame for his loss?
Title: Re: If hillary won Post by: Pericles on February 15, 2017, 01:54:28 PM Trump would not give a concession speech and claim the election was rigged, he even disputed the result after he won because he lost the popular vote. Other Trump supporters like Sean Hannity blame 'disloyal Republicans' like Paul Ryan, and there is a challenge to Ryan's speakership. The consensus would be that Trump ran perhaps the worst campaign in history and that Republicans need to moderate and appeal to minorities to win. Trump's lack of ground game, being outspent, lack of discipline, losing the debates and more. His attacks on Curiel, the Khans and Alicia Machado would come under fire. He would be seen as the only candidate more unpopular than Hillary Clinton who could have lost to her.

I also see major, major D losses in the Senate in 2018. Worst case in the real world is that they lose 1 or 2 seats, best case they gain 2, or 3 if something weird happens in MS or somewhere.
