Someone needs to explain to this clown that there’s no such thing as “the popular vote” in a presidential election. He needs to give the Constitution a read.

I can’t believe how far back this country has been tabulating a meaningless number.

I thought it was a fairly recent (50 or so years) event.

Boy was I wrong.

Or won the popular vote via vote fraud.

Exactly. The two sides “talk past each other” because one side talks facts and the other side talks shite. Popular vote is entirely irrelevant, so she should have given him no more time on that argument than on Hillary’s favorite pantsuit.

The same is true on any issue. Mention “gun control” and they’ll start yammering about “assault weapons” which is an artificial construct only they seem to recognize. Talk about abortion and they’ll give you “women’s health”.

Just stop the crap, liberals, if you want to understand Trump supporters:

Trump won the only vote count that matters. The 2nd amendment does not make exceptions. Abortion is killing a baby. Those are our facts. THE facts.

"Someone needs to explain to this clown that there’s no such thing as “the popular vote” in a presidential election."

Thanks for pointing that out.

Before mentioning other possible constitutional problems with voting process for president, patriots need to consider this. In my opinion, presidential elections have been reduced to deciding which constitutionally undefined political party controls state powers that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds have stolen from the states.

Next, not only is there no popular vote for POTUS in Constitution, but there is also no such thing as state “winner-take-all” laws for electoral votes imo. Such laws not only nullify the voting power of many voters despite Democratic “all votes count” mantra, but also violate 12th Amendment (12A) electoral vote counting procedures imo.

Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; […]"

Also, not only do winner-take-all laws violate 12A imo, but that amendment also indicates only write-in candidates, nothing about state ballots providing check boxes for nominees of constitutionally undefined political parties.

In fact, how do the states manage to agree to make ballots showing names of nominees of rogue Democratic and Republican political parties without violating constitutional prohibition on agreements between states without consent of Congress?

"Article I, Section 10, Clause 3: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State [emphasis added], or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

And even if corrupt Congress approves political parties on ballot after the fact, it remains that-winner-take all laws violate 12A imo.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

Our Constitution was written so that the the most common of our citizens could understand everything that was laid out in it.

The FACT that Government run schools have completely turned their backs on their job of actually Educating our future generations is a national disgrace.

This young individual is proudly ignorant. He is the personification of the term SERF. Bless his heart.

Explain how much voter fraud was found in 2016 that the RATs & MSM don’t want to talk about, discuss, or expose. Because of a lawsuit filed in CA by Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch, LA County had to wipe 1.5 “million” voters off their rolls. That’s just LA County. Multiply that by all the states that had voter fraud (which was most of them) and then tell me again how Hitlery won the popular vote, NOT!!

Lucas Meyer is the kind of jerk who would try to make the case his team won the Super Bowl BECAUSE his team got more first downs... ran more yards... No matter how many times you tell the guy it's 'touchdowns' that matter he sticks with 'we ran more yards'. God Blessed us with idiots for opponents.
