Sure, Trump has the momentum. But his prospects for 270 electoral votes are dim.

Yes, of course, Trump could run the table of swing states and win easily. But there’s little indication that will happen.

This post is actually very useful and pertinent given all the recent crying about how unfair the electoral college is.

“Now they all of a sudden the electoral college is totally unfair and, after 230 years of using it, we need to just abandon it in and go with the popular vote. Because the Democrats lost. Good luck with that plan Democrats.”

First off, Trump had a good point that he would have campaigned differently if winning the popular vote were the goal.

Second, imagine if Trump had been given even remotely fair treatment by the press. I think he would have won with a 5% margin in the popular vote easily.

Finally, I’m very interested to see what comes out regarding the illegal alien vote. One source is claiming that it’s verified that 3+ million illegals cast votes, and that alone would more than account for Hilliary’s margin. Even if it was as few as 1 million it would have made the difference. The illegal alien vote needs to be exposed to the light of day!

President Trump needs to make fair and legal elections one of his administration’s top priorities.

I love reliving all the wrong stories by the enemedia.

I love watching the thousands of talking heads getting it wrong, the replays are hilarious. I remember watching the negative coverage during the election saying, I can't wait to see that and show that back to this idiot commentator after Trump wins.

I too am very curious to see how that whole illegal alien voting business shakes out.

I agree, very misleading as many will not notice this is two months old and very irrelevant.

And nowhere in this article do they mention Wisconsin or Michigan. I lived in Wisconsin for this whole election and saw only Trump signs until the last month. Trump came here several times. And Hillary was hardly ever here.

The men and women of Wisconsin were just never going to pull the lever for Hillary. Walker has worked out too well for them.

Did Republicans complain when Obama won two terms; complain as far as how the election was administered?

I was too depressed to complain. But now . . .

I watched for 5 minutes. What a hoot! They really didn’t, and probably still don’t, GET IT! They are embarrassed for college educated men and women who voted for Trump. I hope they continue to not get it. We have future elections to win to rebuild our once great nation.

>>we need to break up electoral votes by Congressional Districts like ME and NE do.
Dems would lose badly in that exchange.

Hugely successful author and moonbat Stephen King lives in Bangor Maine, part of the Second District which did go for Trump. Imagine if the whole country had that scenario...all that red (including in places like, you know, where the FOOD comes from)

The HORROR! :)

Yes indeed. The going assumption was the 18 blue wall states were in Hillary’s column. Of course, no expected that wall to collapse with Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania all going for Trump.

I have to admit, I wasn’t planning on Wisconsin. I thought the election would be much closer than it was.

It is 26 minutes or so, but worth watching the change in the hosts from overconfident, to scared, to angry, to despondent. You can laugh at each of their stages of grief.

Because old useless people didn’t undestand them the first time.

And they don’t want to hear them now.
