There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.

People vote. Real estate doesn't.

Inaccurate. Hillary won 487 of 3141 counties.... only 15.5%, still a massive concentration of her support.

It does nobody on our side any good to use incorrect numbers.

Another source puts her at 503 (to 2649). The point remains the same, though.

You do not understand what makes our republic...

Screw you!

Your reading comprehension is horrible. I said this is what a LEFTIST thinks. Try again, you pedantic dick.

America's government is officially a constitutional federal republic.
Simply ask yourself this...what establishes the federal aspect of which you speak?

It all evolves from the Constitution and is laid out within the Constitution.

All else is true.
I had no conflict with the remainder of your reply.

There is no longer a check and balance between the House and Senate...

There is no longer a check and balance between the Federal government and State governments. (the true function of the Senate)
Ask a Senator how he likes being nothing more than a glorified member of the House and watch them implode!
The 17th does need to be repealed, right along with the 16th.

Yes, I errored in the use of a pronoun.

I forgot to change "you" to "they" after I first started typing having noticed you were paraphrasing what the left side thinks. Sorry about that.

But your response was actually pretty funny. Being so defensive, and over-the-top simply because of a type-o.

"horrible comprehension... petantic dick"

I laughed. But I also have received like responses to comments I made having quoting from someone else but treated as if I made the quote. Hey, it happens.

Be that as it may... my "pedantic dick" response I hope, at the least, you found agreeable rather than thinking I was being a bit brash in style. What can I say, I'm an old fart.

Have a nice day guy ;)

Alright...

What can I say, I'm an old fart.

Well that makes two of us.

Maybe my inner Trump coming out. I'm sorry I called you that.

All else you wrote was actually spot on.

Can the CIA be wrong/incorrect?

God knows many of our politicians are, they call America a democracy.

Perfectly understandable, and no worries.

I appreciate your passion. Sometimes it gets away from us in a personal way.
