Trump won 30 States, Clinton won 20 States and DC. Neither matters. Only the Electoral College matters and Trump will win there. Hey Liberals, thanks for playing. We won, get over it.

Make all the prospective Mexican voters show proof of car insurance. None will be eligible to vote.

I got to see Henny Youngman perform live in New Haven in the early '80s. One of his one liners was regarding the popular TV show "That's Incredible!", which was to feature a Puerto Rican with auto insurance. (at that time in Connecticut Puerto Ricans were a bigger deal than Mexicans. They of course, are not illegals. Some types of ethnic humor was still acceptable.)

Hillary had 2.8 million more votes than Trump. Hillary got 4.5 million more votes than Trump in California.

It sounds as if the Electoral College is doing its job.

A leftie I know told me this wekeend that the electoral college will choose a “compromise” candidate other than Trump.

As if there is any reason for Republican electors to negotiate, let alone compromise, on anything.

I told the guy that I would bet him $100,000 that Trump would win the electoral vote tomorrow, and would be inaugurated. I would provide proof of the possession of funds, and would require him to do so as well. We would sign a legally binding contract. He demurred, so I told him to put up, or STFU.

Is true, Hillary’s votes:
Total them up:
legal votes from the actual people registered +
votes from Dem Operatives making fake votes for people registered but not voting themselves +
fake votes (dead people) +
fake votes (illegal aliens voting illegally) +
fake votes (dead people) +
fake votes (total fakes created by Dem Operatives) =
Hillary got more “votes”.

Now, if one is to be so narrow minded as to exclude the massive Dem illegal votes, then Trump won the popular vote by a large amount.

The linked article states that in 2012: "The Associated Press called the Electoral College vote for Barack Obama shortly before 6 p.m. Eastern Time on December 17, 2012."

Not all that ‘funny’...

Not to long ago someone had made a ‘mistake’ telling the voters that the election was on a different day ...

The ‘leaders’ of the havenots etc said it was a Racist act because their people were dumb enough to believe it...

That’s why the Electoral College is a genius and divinely inspired device. Surely God knew we would need it more this year than ever before to prevent our country, also divinely inspired and founded, from being ruled by a group of flakes, nuts and illegal law-breaking people on just one end of the country. Hallelujah for Divine Providence! ESTOY CON EL SENOR!
Illegals are like visitors. When I have visitors over to my home they don’t get to tell me how to run my home. Illegals have NO business voting. Thank God again for the Electoral College, we will not give our country over to those who do not belong here legally.
