Because it's true? Trump beat Romney's numbers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. I don't think I need to remind you that these states are why he won the election.

And Hillary's popular vote boost comes from populous states like California and New York where she won by large margins.

Hillary is too vindictive to ever be president. At least Obama made some concessions to her base in 2008. She made none to Bernie's. She could have at least TRIED to mend the schism by offering Progressives key positions in the DNC leadership as well as having a Progressive running mate. She did neither but surround herself all her establishment friends and allies including those who broke rules (*cough* Donna Brazile) in her favour. She probably would have been elected now. Then when its Jan 20th she could have all the progressives thrown out of the DNC. |
She did make concessions. They worked on the Democratic platform together and a handful of his key policies got in there.
