If you are judging by polling then Clinton should have won the presidency easily by wide margins . Unfortunately polls were skewed in her favor . Allegedly the main stream media were bought and attempted to tell a lie about a stronger Clinton candidacy vs a weaker Sanders candidacy . Voter suppression where independents that switched to Democratic party for this election weren ' t counted . Democratic party voters voting for Sanders also not getting votes counted . Long time registered Democratic party voters being told for the first time they are registered as Democrat and not Democratic party not getting a vote while having a voter card proving that they were Democratic party for at least the last two elections .
