You just contradicted yourself so try a little harder. But I'll set you straight on one thing, you have no idea who are "ill informed" but we do know who are more educated. Educated. informed, they do tend to go hand in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of highly educated people are politically ignorant, most are in fact. Most uneducated voters are also politically ignorant, there is no major group in the world, who isn't filled with a strong majority of the politically ignorant.

Not very well, so go ahead and double down on that obviously failed strategy, silly Democrats. Chastising voters for not being informed enough to vote for you, basket of deplorables style, isn't a winning hand. Let me attempt to inform you once again, the popular vote went to Hillary.

Clinton refused to get into the mud with Trump, his strong suite...and she lost.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher popularity in New York and California has nothing to do with a well informed populace. Winning the popular vote isn't an indication that you are the choice of the politically well informed, neither is winning the EC. Appealing to the well informed is not the way to win a popularity contest, whether that contest is determined by EC, or national popular vote, that doesn't matter. That's all an election is, a popularity contest, it has very little to do with winning over people in the know.

Â Agreed...the "well informed" fantasized about a "blue wall" that would make Clinton president...and they insisted that Trump had to win Florida as well. They were very wrong on both counts.

It's all wishful thinking, and every time that is shown to be the case, they simply go even deeper into denial, cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug.

Trump lost the popular vote, because he didn't care about running up the victory margin in New York and California, and decided to focus on winning more votes in states that actually helped win him the election. He lost a game he wasn't even playing.

You clearly put way too much stake in the outcome of mid-terms , because it fits your wishful thinking narrative.

The older voters, who are a larger voting block, and who reliably show up to vote, will be turned off by the naive extremism of younger voters and their autistic screeching, yet that vocal minority are completely unreliable, they just want to sit on their ass and complain instead. Obvious mismatch is obvious, unless you are blinded by obvious wishful thinking. Millenials will be the doom of Trump? I think not. If Trump somehow loses in 2020, it will be because he didn't win enough support of suburban women in key rust belt states, Millenials will have little to do with it. Suburban women in the rust belt, will likely side with Trump over some Democrat doing their best AOC impression. Far-left nonsense doesn't fly with them.
