1.15 time higher? 1.5? I think the DNC probably plans around massive in-your-face cheating so that to actually win Hillary would need to win x 1.15, and when it wasn't an out-and-out blowout, she took a bow. So when the chorus of why-did-she-concede-so-soon begins, that's the answer.

Second point: this is exactly the scenario I foresaw back at the start of the primary and exactly why I thought opening it up was a terrible idea. Getting chopped to pieces by online piranha and wasting millions on blue states like California was utterly counterproductive and now we have Trump. Sigh.
