President Hillary Clinton, if 108000 changed...
President Hillary Clinton, if 108000 changed... If less than 108,000 votes went to Hillary in three Midwest states, she would become President instead of D. Trump. The low turnout of key supporters led to her loss. Hillary Clinton's "blue wall" of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania crumbled to Donald Trump in the early morning hours Wednesday, and the states' combined 46 electoral college votes helped finish off Clinton's White House hopes once and for all. (Michigan's 16 electoral votes haven't yet officially been called for Trump, but he is all but certain to win the state.) But while those 46 votes proved insurmountable for Clinton in terms of electoral math, consider this: Clinton actually lost to Trump by only 107,330 individual votes in all three states combined. To put exactly how small that number is in perspective, 107,330 people... is fewer than the number of fans that could fit in Michigan Stadium, in Ann Arbor is about equal to the population of Boulder, Colorado, but fewer people than how many live in Everett, Washington; North Charleston, South Carolina, Pasadena, CA, or Pearland, Texas. Trump does not have a landslide mandate for any of his ideas. He also has to get laws passed through the US Senate, which is 50 GOP and 48 Democrats and independents which caucus with the Dems. To overcome a filibuster takes 60 votes. |
