Yep, vote, vote, vote.
We’d never hear the end of it. “The minority President”
Sorry, Nate but your prediction failure during the primaries probably means Trump will get 370+ EVs.
There are no blue states, there are no red states, just states of mind.
Seems he is currently leading the popular vote. So why is this story bass ackwards.
The same way Dubya did.
Bill Clinton won the presidency twice and NEVER had a majority of the popular vote.
Whereas Trump will get at least 40% of the vote, likely more than half.
As it turned out the popular vote was essentially tied with Gore being ahead by a hair's breath. And the Electoral College was as close to tied as it could be, and W won by a hair's breath in Florida.
The lesson though was that a report before voting had finished in the Florida panhandle that projected Gore the winner of Florida, deflated voting for W both in the Florida Pan Handle and in the Western states later that evening.
That report turned out wrong....but according to a book I read about it afterward that did some analysis, if that false report had not happened W Bush would have won the popular vote and won Florida by enough that recounts would not come in to play....the whole controversy about hanging chads and the Supreme Court deciding elections could have been diverted.
Moral of the story: Do not give a damn about any reports before or after election night...get out and vote!
Trump will take Utah hands down. He doesn’t have a Mormon problem. Romney has a Trump problem.
There are a lot of things wrong with the Electoral College. But, nothing for us to be concerned with prior to the election.
The Democrats fret the loss of working-class whites and will soon fret the loss of working-class blacks and hispanics. We are seeing a pivotal change in American politics. One party will represent small and medium-sized business and those who work in the private sector. The other party will represent the elitists, government workers and welfare recipients. It’s us against the moochers and the looters. Donald Trump - a blue-collar billionaire - may be exactly the right person to lead our cause.
It could be more likely he wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote than the other way around.
I think it would be fun if it turns out that way.
Trump would win the Electoral College with 280 votes by holding all 24 Romney states
Hey, Waterman, Romney took Utah and Texas. Your comment makes no sense.
CA and one or two others could turn out to be the freaks of the country who side with corrupt habitual liars. All that will do is prove what is already known about certain states.
Not so sure about that. Trump had a "Romney" problem, and Romney is looking more and more stupid by the day. As we get closer to the general election, Trump is surging in Utah and Nevada, and it looks like Romney is having a Mormon problem.
The popular vote is not going to be a problem.
Trump is leading Hillary by 15 points in Utah...
The problem Utah has is Romney, and they have pretty much shut him up...
Once again showing the genius of the Founding Fathers....
Hey Wasserman, know what they call the candidate with 270 EV?
And Wasserman, know what they call the candidate who wins the popular vote without 270 EV”s.
Mr. President and Loser, respectively.
