Progressive senator ignores facts and common sense in asserting America wants Democratic agenda
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), whose party is at one of the weakest positions it has been in more than a century, grasped at straws this week in trying to argue the Republicans lack a mandate to govern.
The liberal firebrand’s speech on the Senate floor on Monday night got a fair amount of attention for its attacks on a Republican-backed medical research bill that she lambasted as a giveaway to big pharmaceutical companies.
Less noticed was Warren’s argument that a party that won the White House and maintained control of the Senate and House of Representatives this month lacks majority support. She noted Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s win in the national popular vote, a largely meaningless distinction considering that the U.S. system determines the presidency through the Electoral College.

Warren needs to have a close encounter with a speeding bus
Making the rounds:
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country.
Color that by voting precinct, and the blue areas are _lot_ smaller.
Maybe she will scream her self to death
Definitely have one party rule here in California. Democrats get 102% of the vote (counting illegal votes too).
She self-identified as Native American to get her teaching job at Harvard because her grand-father had ‘high cheekbones’...
Plagiarized recipies for a Native American cooking book...she is one of the biggest snakes slithering around the DC swamp...
The founders understood that, even when these United States were fewer in number and smaller in area. That's why we have an Electoral College. It's also why we have a Senate ... and why Senators were to be appointed by the State legislatures.
Wasn’t it Obama who said he has a mandate from all the people that didn’t vote?
She should have been running for President instead of Miss Popularity then.
Crockajawea speakum outside tee-pee.
Too-um many peyote buttons!
I was thinking “sanctimonious old bat,” but “hysterical twat” works nicely too.
typical democrat. States don’t matter, illegals do
When will this faux Indian harpie go away?
Bookmarked.
Liar warren is a waste of space and air. What an absolute idiot.
LOL........you so bad..........I’d like to see her and that other dingbat, Jill Stein together in a small room and watch them beat the hell outta each other with those swinging arm gestures that both are so famous for.......what a pair of dumb broads!
I hope she gets the nomination in 2020. Trump will wipe the floor with her.
Aside from being a radical leftist, she is certifiably insane. I watched her at length with Anderson Cooper last night. It’s the first time I paid attention to her rhetoric and mannerisms.
She will wear on the public. She’s nuts.
