O was certainly more policy oriented, but I'd guess there were a lot of people who voted with their emotions for both of them. -

They voted for Obama hoping he'd make a difference in their lives. For six of his 8 years, Obama was too 'Third Way', too concerned with trying to reach concensus, and so nothing got done. By the time he decided he had no ****s left to give, it was too late.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
They went with the phony populist who lied to them and said he was on their side against the politicians like Obama who never did anything to help them.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?Comment

Seems counterintuitive. A logical voter would never do that. But we're talking about a small number of voters (getable O voters) who supported O out of hope and inspiration but were now low on hope, angry, and disappointed that he had not stood up for them with the passion and determination they expected. They were on the rebound and fell for the guy in the black leather jacket instead of a blazer.Originally posted by Kepler View Post

You forget the extreme animosity people felt towards Hillary. I know at least a handful of people who happily voted for Obama twice and then Trump (and then about half switched to Biden in 2020).I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...Comment

There are people who vote for celebrity itself, as a presumed virtue. They will always vote for the less boring candidate. But you never know, one person told me he was voting for Trump because "that would be hilarious."Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Yeah there was plenty of people who voted for Trump just for the lulz. He was the perfect "**** it who cares" candidate. It had zero to do with policies or his personal hatred of anyone not White/Orange."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

That's the only thing that makes sense to me. Hillary was the quintessence of everything wrong with the Democratic party since 1978. I hate her and I agree with virtually every one of her policies.Originally posted by Swansong View Post

I'm shocked she won the popular vote. Against anyone but Dump she loses all fifty states.Cornell University

There was a group of twenty somethings who voted for it (or didn't vote at all) because "they thought it wouldn't pass" and when it did were interviewed by the Press over it. Think NY Times talking to Trump voters type stuff. They weren't the driving force but they were a real big reason it went over the top. They wanted a revote...Originally posted by Kepler View Post
Here is an article that mentions it. Says 30% of 18-24 years olds voted to leave. Only 64% of that age group voted at all."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

This truly was a layup for the DNC. And they dropped the ball. At one point on the campaign allegedly she mused to staffers "Why aren't I beating him by 50 point?"Originally posted by Kepler View Post
