He fell down steps after he bounced off the pillar. The distance he travelled was due to an angular fall. We can, of course, speculate on him travelling further but unless someone credible (ie. not h1) can come up with a deflection force computation on how much further he could have travelled. That is all speculation at this point.We can speculate that he could have travelled further. But it didn't happen. The pillar is how far he went. Like we can speculate that Crossbones would have travelled even further had he not spun (dissipating a lot of the kick's force), but he didn't. We can only use what evidence shows us. And in this evidence, these are the numbers.
You gotta admit, with so much media/celeb hate against him, Trump earned that win. You gotta give him props for that.
I really don't he "earned" the win though. This was basically, mostly uneducated, mostly rural white folks who voted for him. It was basically the rust belt and the bible belt's right wing 9/11. They are some who are obviously disenfranchised with our system and this was a message. Others, and some literally said this, it was to make a mockery out of our system. That mission was accomplished. I don't give him credit, because as the analyst have said, with the numbers we see, any Republican would've likely won, and won bigger.
We don't need to know HOW much further he would've gone, we can unquestionably and factually say he would've gone further. Period. There can be no disputing this. So when you say only 10 feet, not only is that wrong even going by what did happen, but further wrong considering some of the energy was lost hitting it.
Again buddy, no, he didn't just fall straight down after hitting the pillar. You keep saying it was just him falling from a higher point down. Factually this is completely false. If that was the case, he would've just hit the pillar and fallen directly down.. hit the stairs, and tumbled further. In stark contrast, we see him BOUNCE off the pillar, not just fall straight down as you claim, but he was carried 5 to 7 feet past the steps. All told, it's further than 10 feet.
