Well on a positive note, it's now clear that not even the Clinton's or all their political allies can rig a US general election. Like or hate the result, the Electoral College, or the "uneducated" US voter, it seems like even if the system isn't 100% fair or perfect, at least it isn't easy to rig. (Democratic primary not so much though)
- benmw333 10y agoAgreed. The kind of money that was put up in this election... scary. Not to mention MSM. It will be interesting to see how that evolves over the next four years.
- hga 10y agoNot so scary when you see the results, or lack thereof. How many dollars did ¡Jeb! pay for each primary voter? Early on it was low-mid 4 figures, couldn't easily find a total. Did find something that claimed Trump spend 63% less for each electoral vote he earned. My thesis is that money only gets you a hearing. After that, it depends the most on whether people like what they're hearing from you.
