It may be true. Neither candidate was an exceptional choice. Outside of the stupid states, the majority of the people thought Trump was a better candidate. I think they thought Clinton was a worse candidate.
I still don’t understand how they let her take the nomination. Bernie Sanders is an idiotic pile of dog dirt, but he had followers everywhere. People wanted to hear what he had to say. They think he’s “...the most honest man ever to run.”
I have to remind people my own age (53) that socialism killed over 100,000,000 people in the last hundred years and its adherents are not honest. While they chew on that, I remind them that it cost a beach house and the use of a private jet to buy Sanders’ endorsement for Clinton.
I still don’t understand how the DNC let her get to the top of the heap. They dealt with her directly for 25 years.They had to know what she is. They had to know that vile people don’t win elections.
It’s a caution against Trump’s conduct over the next four years. The next democrat will be just as corrupt and just as evil as Clinton, but he’ll do it with a smile on his face.
This is irrelevant. States stop counting “absentee” ballots once it appears that they would make no difference in the outcome of the election. We’ll never know how many votes either person got. That’s why we have the electoral college. Arizona will still be counting 2016 ballots when the 2020 ballots start rolling in. LOL.Agreed. And only such a small margin for HRC. I bet Trump over takes her in the popular vote when they all finally come in and get certified. BUT who cares, he won the popular vote in 30 out of 50 states and got what...307 EV? That's a resounding win, especially factoring in they kept the house and senate, and DT flipped three deep blue states to red for the first time in 30 years.
Since this was posted this morning DT already past 60 million:
60,072,551 votes - TRUMP
60,467,601 votes - CLINTON
Difference = 395,050
ROMNEY final popular vote number: 60,933,504
Trumps popular vote number so far (still 5% left to count): 60,072,551
So HRC will most likely NOT get to Obama’s 2012 numbers, BUT Trump will definitely pass Romney’s poplar vote once they’re totaled and certified awhile from now.
BUT DT GOT 307 EV vs Romney’s 204.
SO WHO CARES ABOUT THE POPULAR VOTE.
So Mit went from 57mil initial count to 61mil (final count), which is about 4 million difference So we could guestimate maybe Trump will end up at 64 million at final countYEP! This! But media doesn't care about facts and waiting. It's all about their lie being spread.
“Arrgghhhhhh!!!! Come on man! You are turning into one of Them!. Banish the thought!”
Ha ha, like your sense of humor! A little pragmatism never hurts, right? :)
