barely won those states. Jesus, you sound like some Oiler fan talking about their 2006 playoff run. They got extremely lucky and rode a hot goaltender. Proof was in the pudding after the fact and the Oilers returned to the #### show they had been prior to that run. Trump got extremely lucky that Comey set the table for him and Clinton did nothing to fight back. 107,330 votes is what made the biggest difference, and won the election for Trump, but it was actually a lot closer to be a complete stomping the other way. Here are the swing states that went Trump, the margin he won by, and then a comparison to the Garry Johnson protest vote.
Arizona (11 electoral votes) - 91,234, well inside the Gary Johnson vote margin of 106,327
Florida (29 electoral votes) - 112,911, well inside the Gary Johnson vote margin of 207,043
Michigan (16 electoral votes) - 10,704, well inside the Gary Johnson vote margin of 51,463
Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes) - 44,292, well inside the Gary Johnson vote margin of 146,715
Wisconsin (10 electoral votes) - 22,748, well inside the Gary Johnson vote margin of 106,674
Conversely, the only state that went Clinton that falls into the same "battle ground condition" was Nevada (6 electoral votes).
So that massive ass kicking was on the back of 281,889 votes, out of the 137,098,601 votes cast, or a margin of .002056 percent. That 281,889 votes falls well inside the votes collected by Gary Johnson <4,489,233>, Jill Stein <1,457,222>, Evan McMullin(!) <729,824> and Other (write-ins) <1,583,591>.
This was a fluke of Oileresque fashion. This will never happen again. The numbers just lined up very well for Comacho and the FBI gave a hard enough push in the final week to make the numbers fall right into his lap. 85 electoral votes awarded on 282,000 votes with everything falling into a guy's lap.

again I think the dude is terrible, just don't set yourselves up for another disappointment. He isn't getting impeached and if the economy is half decent in four years (even if he has little or nothing to do with it) he has a good shot at winning again

Now you're sounding like a guy who just had his girl friend dump him and he's completely given up on women or relationships in general. Expect every chick out there is going to rip your heart of your chest and take all your CDs when she moves out! Sad. Very sad.
