He's up over 4 million votes, though?

• scruple 6y ago
  In an election with (currently) 146,592,751 votes. I'm sorry but 4 million is _not_ "overwhelming". It's a difference of less than 3% of total voters.

    That very much depends on how much of those original 146 odd million votes are 'mobile', and with the way people vote straight 'R' or 'D' for life the margins are a lot thinner than you might expect. > 40% of both parties voters would never in a lifetime vote for the other party no matter how terrible the candidate for 'their' party.

      Point taken.
