WE ALL KNOW TRUMP WAS ON THE BALLOT:
Trump: “In a certain way I am on the ballot.”
THE FACTS:
-
At least 32 Trump-backed candidates lost last night.
-
Democrats had resounding wins in the states that carried Trump to the White House — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio.
-
Exit polls made it clear that Trump was on the ballot. Many more voters showed up to oppose him than to support him.
