2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I just heard on Sirius Radio Ch. 124 POTUS that Jill Syein has dropped the request for [View all]WilliamH1474
(29 posts)"Wisconsin completed a 10-day recount financed by the Stein campaign on Monday, resulting in an increase in Trumps lead over Hillary Clinton from 22,617 to 22,748 votes."
There was just no way that Hillary could have overcame a 20k vote deficit to actually take the state. As much as I would have loved to see her do it, I think this was actually a giant waste of money.
IF Hillary had thought there was even a slight chance of winning, she would have asked for the recount. She had the ground game to do it and the money. BUT she knew that there was no making up that kind of deficit and it would only hurt her supporters (us) and it was better to let the wounds heal, than to keep ripping off a scab.
Now we are faced with these reality's.
First: That Democrats gave money to Jill and now that its over, where is that money going EXACTLY.
Second: We were given false hope. And suckered out of money that could have gone to actual democrats.
Third: I now get to see on FB all the a**hat Trumpsters posting this BS about this being Hillary's 4th defeat.
In the end, what did we really gain?
