Her negatives are too high among R's and I's to steal any Romney voters.

She may be able to get Romney voters to stay home or go 3rd party by running to the right but she wouldn't win them.

Running to the left could energize the base.

Same thing goes for Trump and his base.

Turns out they really didn't http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/election-exit-polls.html

Roughly the same number of republicans voted for Clinton as democrats voted for trump. Slightly less actually.

That isn't the complete story probably, as the increased vote totals for Johnson and McMullen definitely imply a significant amount of anti trump republicans. However I think it's certainly hard to qualify them as moderates in any sense.

It's clear though that The Clinton chase for republican endorsements and the like was a total and complete failure.

Well you've got to admit, he did close strong. For the final weeks he was out there disciplined with a focused message, no doubt to the chagrin of the Clinton camp who desperately needed him to keep fukking up. Couple that with the "Comey Letter" and you can see why they came home.

Thanks for the bump Swavy but this is the real news here:

Trump ain't getting elected. I don't know how this is even a question.

:mjpls: This is gonna be my new sig after El presidente trumps inaguration

As far as your actual bump goes, the difference is all within the margin of error anyway. The more interesting thing to me in that poll is Indies only shifted 1 percent from 2012 while there was much more shift in affiliated voters.
