“Correct. And in fact, Trump used many of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals to take down Hillary Clinton during the election cycle.”

I saw (and see) the same thing - Trump isolates on a target and NEVER lets it go (be it “low energy” or “fake news CNN”). If you read Alinsky’s rules, you’ll see that they’re not party-specific (or ideology-specific), anyone is allowed to use them - and Trump is showing Republicans how it’s done.

Whenever a Lib throws the popular vote argument at me I respond with...

Red Sox out hit the Yankees 10-7 but lost the game 5-4

I like to say:

"So when us Hillary planning on giving the nomination to Bernie Sanders since he won the popular vote?"

All I ever get in response is SILENCE.... Because they're not prepared to argue THAT point!

In fact, some have speculated would Saul Alinsky--if he were alive today--supports the Democratic Party now. The Democratic Party and their allies in the Establishment Media, academia and in business have become THE Establishment of 2017 in the eyes of many.

Not true. Hillary got 66 million votes but about 5 million of those were not americans IMO.

And even if they were legal American voters, who cares? Hillary won a game nobody was playing.

If the rules of the game was to win the national popular vote, Trump would've campaigned differently and who's to say he wouldn't have won that election as well?

“Nearly 66 million of Americans “

At least 5million were not Americans, they were Mexicans.

Nearly 66 million of Americans then went to the polls and cast their vote for Hillary Clinton, compared to 63 million who voted for Donald Trump.

...

And in football the winner should be the team with the most yards, not points.

They better pray that Trump served out his term unharmed. They don’t even want to be around if he is harmed.

An error of massive proportions.

We were saved from disaster by the wisdom and forsight of our founders who gave us a [federal, constitutional] republic, NOT a democracy.

Trump will most likely last two terms (8 years) and his Supreme Court picks, giving textualists a majority of justices, will influence jurisprudence for decades.

It doesn’t matter if Hillary got 10 million more votes than Donald Trump. That is not how we elect Presidents.

This article achieves a new level of cherry picking statistics, distortion and outright bigotry. Even though The Hill claims no credit for this piece, publishing this garbage is a disgrace.

That's what I keep pointing out to liberals.

Trump is THEIR last chance for a peaceful restoration of the American Republic.

The left has been using duplicity as a tool of persuasion for so long they really think it’s legitimate.

And the 3 million vote lead came from one state....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here’s a position I’ve heard discussed recently regarding the electoral college vs. the popular vote argument.

Every eligible voter except those residing out of the country or on military duty in another country is or should be a registered voter residing in one of the 3112 counties of the USA. Therefore, to ensure fair regional representation in the electoral process, the winner of both Presidential and Congressional elections should be the candidate who wins the popular vote in the greatest number of counties. For example, in the last election candidate Donald Trump won the popular vote in 2625 counties. Hillary won the popular vote in 487 counties.
