What comes around goes around. Didn't Clinton use Ross Perot to siphon votes from George H. W. Bush? (or at least benefit from him running?) The night before the election the news had Pennsylvania solidly in Hillary Clinton's column, which didn't pan out for her. Then went on how Trump had an uphill battle to win all the flip states while at the same time keeping all the Romney/Paul states. You can play Monday night quarterback with the intentions of Floridian Libertarians, but it was the Rust Belt that rallied behind Trump gave him the presidency.
