    Right, but with that much money they could have paid for Ubers for all of their missing voters in PA/MI/WI to get to the polls, and possibly nationwide. I thought they said they had a superior GOTV operation. Where did the vote go?

          Isn’t an election the definition of a zero sum game? People are either voting for you, your opponents, or not at all.
