They were attacking Trump from the day he announced his candidacy! First with ridicule, then ignoring him, then lying about his statements, they threw EVERYTHING they had at him, thought Hillary would just be anointed Queen...AND TRUMP WON ANYWAY!!! :) !!!!!

The Numbers Show that Trump Did NOT Win Because of Racism and Sexism

Who cares? Ann Coulter has it right. Screw Um!

Here is a really interesting way to look at it.

The results of the last two elections and the FBI stats on "gun violence."

I don’t believe Sanders had a chance to beat Trump. Not a chance that wacko would’ve beat him.

Morning Joe was fairly positive for a while. He turned on a dime and went totally negative afterwards. He’s the only one I can think of.

In my state the only counties Trump did not win were the Indian Reservation counties. A few counties with small reservations even went for Trump.

Dunno.

I’m from Oklahoma and Tulsa had 58 murders. That’s Yuge!!!

They only have a population of nearly 400k.

I currently live in San Jose, CA and the population is more than 1 million. So far this year, we have experienced 44 murders.

Sumpin ain’t right....

Perhaps the map was done by a Pologster.

(That’s a guy who uses modern polling methods to generate a blog.
It’s the most highly inaccurate form of journalism yet conceived.)

I was mainly referring to the ones involved in this years election. As you are now retired I did not intend to include you in my derision. I should have clarified things better. Please accept my apologies.
