Unfortunately that voting block doesn't line up with reality, as least from the stats I know for the presidential elections. A given voter that voted for party X's candidate four years ago, if they vote again, will vote for party X's candidate about 92% of the time. This means that in the pool of 'likely voters', the two parties are realistically fighting over 8% of hearts and minds.
- ajmurmann 9y agoThere is another caveat: 8% in ~12 states. Greatest democracy in the world!
- lurr 9y agoThen why didn't clinton win easily?
- specialist 9y agoHRC got nearly 3m more votes. That ain't nothing.
- netheril96 9y agoSwing states, where the votes matter the most, have been won by less margins.
