When you comb through the data from the 2016 election there are lots of interesting facts to learn. Yes, the typical Trump voter voted for Trump because they were hate-filled racists. Never any doubt in my mind about that. The amount of research poured...

What do you think that the 2004 election would have looked like without 9/11?
For instance, would Al Gore have run again? Also, would Hillary Clinton have run in 2004 in this scenario? In addition, would John Kerry, John Edwards, and Howard Dean...

In Alabama, two statewide elections were held in 2012. The first was the Presidential election, where, predictably, Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama in a 22-point landslide. The other election was a bit more interesting. It was an election for the...

This is the moment Trump found out he had become #45. Does this picture look like a winner to you? This looks like a man who has just found that he is terminal, lost his best friend, or found out he is ABOUT to be found out. This picture is not...
