Without them trump would have lost clearly: read the extremely conservative estimates targeted mostly non-trump voters: https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won...

- DFHippie 2y agoI find it funny how we're making the point that his election doesn't say that much about the aggregate opinion of Americans and you keep missing it. Yes, he won the popular vote. No, it doesn't mean America is massively behind his project. In fact, it is massively unpopular and its popularity is declining.
