agree ! Electoral College does help preserve the will of the Fly Over States ....
I know this will be the meme for the next 4 years, but good grief, I’m already sick of it!
That’s not true. Hillary won VA well beyond the 60K felons who were registered to vote (and assumes all voted for Hillary).
There were fewer people voting because the vote did not matter by the time you got to California.
100,000 dead voters
100,000 people who voted twice
50,000 homeless and mentally ill who traded their vote for a cartoon of cigs
Does the popular vote lead persist in ANY state the REQUIRES a voter ID?????
doubt it until I see stats.
Without the electoral college, the US constitution would never have been ratified. These clowns never get around to mentioning that, and that the states (colonies) formed the union, not the other way around.
ABC started talking about the possibility of Trump taking the EC and Clinton taking the PV around 2100 hours last night, which tells me they had all the data they needed to call this thing a lot earlier than they did.
My thoughts exactly.
I would rather look at it as 52% of the country voted against Hillary/Obama.
It is called federalism. The electoral college must be defended and retained.
Trump went broad; Clinton went deep. Broad wins, for now (once more the constitution figures). However we know that blue does not stay put; it migrates. Trump will have a balancing act on his hands; to firmly stand up for what is right and yet, like Abraham Lincoln attempted, to win friends.
My feelings exactly; the founding fathers were wise enough to prevent large states with mega-cities from dominating the rest of the country.
Yep, Mexifornia.
“Adjusted for illegal aliens and voter fraud, and Trump wins by at least a million...”
Maybe so, but the leftist scu&bags will use the vote count as a way to question the validity of the election, as they always do.
Subversive scu*bags will always be subversive scu&bags.
IMHO
No problem. When they get done destroying CA, they will send out their liberal breeders to invade other states as they have done with Colorado.
Unless we shut down the influx of illegals, get rid of the ones here, and institute proper voting laws we are royally and truly screwed.
Without those, Trump’s election will be no more than a holding action.
Ah, that pesky Constitution, and them damn meddling dead white guys that wrote it.
This why is AMERICA is a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY. The U.S. Constitution protects the rights of smaller states.
“Bad exit polling data?”
Yeah, there’s been a lot of that around lately................like ALL OF IT.
So what? He played to win according to the rules. He travelled to the states he wanted to win and bypassed the ones he didn’t think were in play. I’m sure this cost him votes. Whining about the popular vote is like complaining that your football team got more yards than the other team, but didn’t win the game.
