Plus, never, ever, fucking EVER underestimate the influence the Liberally Biased Mainstream Media™ have over the country. They cared more about - and gave extesive coverage to - Hillary's bogus email scandal and other bullshit controversies than they did of Drumpf's real crimes. If they did it the other way around, Clinton would have wiped the floor with that fat ass. Throw in other stuff like voter suppression and Russian influence among others, and it's not going to be the slam dunk you think it's going to be, Justin.
