The rallies were the biggest advantage Trump had in 2016
Most of the ground game is getting people to actually vote
@Deleted User Nixon barely won in 1968
Trump campaign had huge oppertunity to get white working class voters registered
they failed almost totally at that
Ehh
For the popular vote it was close
@Deleted User you're not making sense
go take your anti depressants
It would have been much stronger had Trump's ground game not been trash
Lol
But Nixon had a major clear advantage over Humphrey in the electoral college
If Trump was given the kind of ground game Hillary did
He would have easily won
I think Wallace took a bit from Nixon's vote.
I'm not sure about that
@FLanon slight popular vote margins can result in large electoral college margins
That is an untrue statement
The kind of people who vote for Trump are the ones who know already
Hillary campaign knocked on way more doors, made way more phone clals
I mean, technically you can win 49 states and lose the popular vote
I don't think so
But the thing is that GOTV for WWC is basically done by unions.
If we had that level of activism we would have done much better
So he needed to expand his union support for that really
Nevada, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, etc would have flipped
Trump's not the kind of person you knock down a door for and appeal to moderacy, either you're on the train or you're not.
And for the millions of people who aren't registered?
I don't think they'd vote for Trump
You'd be surprised
He'd be scary to the kind of person who's apolitical
Even if just 5% of non voters in Nevada got out and voted for Trump.
The fact is we need to do all this sort of stuff to increase turnout.
He would have easily flipped the state
Of course
He won
I just don't think it's as vital as it's made out to be
I think 1-3% is more realistic.
Get over it
Huh?
