"The Moral Collapse of the Republican Party"

Hillary just barely under-performed Obama.

Don't confuse @tytlyf with facts.

Sure, we revere Lincoln today, but in his lifetime the bile poured on him from every quarter makes today’s Internet vitriol seem dainty. His ancestry was routinely impugned, his lack of formal learning ridiculed, his appearance maligned, and his morality assailed. We take for granted, of course, the scornful outpouring from the Confederate states; no action Lincoln took short of capitulation would ever have quieted his Southern critics. But the vituperation wasn’t limited to enemies of the Union. The North was ever at his heels. No matter what Lincoln did, it was never enough for one political faction, and too much for another. Yes, his sure-footed leadership during this country’s most-difficult days was accompanied by a fair amount of praise, but also by a steady stream of abuse—in editorials, speeches, journals, and private letters—from those on his own side, those dedicated to the very causes he so ably championed.

We talking total votes or percentage of votes? One is more important than the other.

Total numbers, which puts Trump about 2 million ahead of Romney and Clinton at just barely under Obama despite the claim of both candidates/parties having gained three million.
