In all that, you fail to recognize that the Democrat vote didn’t all go for the Democrat candidate.  A large percentage of the republican vote went against the republican candidate.  I doubt it was a third, but it was likely about a quarter.  We may never know, but the Orange Man Bad faction was huge and vocal in the republican party.  Since the two mainstream parties are about the same size, many voters must have crossed party lines in both directions.

 

When we are talking about a quarter of the mainstream voting cross-party, is there any point in blaming the Libertarians, who are less than 1%?
