McAuliffe was set up to rig VA for Hillary, and of course the RNC did NOTHING to help Cuccinelli.

Now these RINO hacks are saying Trump “owes them”.

It is NOT accurate to say that. Trump won the game, he overcame the challenge presented him in order to become President, namely to win the Electoral College. IF the game or challenge were to win the Popular Vote, he would have done the as well. Like a boss.

nobody’s going to know the final totals for a few weeks. call it a tie in the popular vote right now. i like it. it means the state’s win. i also noticed the dem governors are now apparently down to 14 or 15. that means a constitutional convention is on the table.

Thank God the founders had the wisdom to dream up the electoral college.

And the irony is, the Dems had expected it to be flipped - i.e., that Trump could win the popular vote, but Hillary would be saved by her Blue Wall in the Electoral College.

How long will it be before we start hearing calls for abolition of the EC again?

My guess is the Dems will wait a few months for the public to forget, before they try to gin up the anti-Electoral College hue and cry ... again.

Democrats have lost 10 million votes off Obama 08. Republicans seem to have a hard time cracking 60 million.

Trump was smeared by the establishment news media and vastly outspent by the left wing billionaires. The popular majority was an unwitting tool of this power.

Well, considering all of the dead people who voted, and those who are NOT U.S. citizens at the poll...she probably lost by about 2 million.

He lost by about 5% of the vote, so maybe not.
