"They're Not Voting For Clinton, They're Voting Against Trump" [View all]

I predict that this will become the latest meme in the "media hates Hillary" coverage we'll be seeing in the press. Certainly it's what we'll be hearing from the RNC.

This will be an attempt to set up the "she doesn't have a mandate" meme that will be launched after she wins in November. Even if she beats Trump by 20 points, the media will assert it was people voting against Trump, not voting for Hillary. Ergo, obstruction as usual.

You read it here first, sorry to say.
