These guys can Go to hell. It would have been a blowout without the Nevertrumpers and the fact that we just barely squeaked by will not be forgotten.

Barely squeaked by? 306 EVs is NOT “squeaking” in any sense of the word. And that, once more, is a demonstration of the genius of The Framers of our Constitution; The Electoral College prevents rabble in large population centers from easily stealing elections. Why else would the libs be so hell bent on revoking it?

Trump won despite the attempts to sabotage by these traitors and losing those votes yet picked up votes other ways and was successful where they never were. It’s remarkable what he did with what he was up against. Now where do these Never Trumpers think they will pick up votes?!!

Take a look at the below map. Trump's victory was hardly "squeaking by". Granted, the electoral college system gives a lot of weight to California and the big East Coast urban areas so it appears relatively close in terms of overall popular vote and EVs.

The electoral college system is a good one but maybe it can be improved by apportioning EV's to individual congressional districts instead of statewide - as ME and NE already do. That would certainly have given a good chunk of CA and NY to Trump in that scenario. On the other hand, some of TX, FL and OH would have gone the other way. But in my mind it would be more representative of the electorate and Trump would probably have 350+ EVs easily.

Anyhow, even if Trump won 270-268 or 269-269 with the House being the tiebreaker, Trump is still our president, with all the power that goes with it. Just like the Cubs are still World Champions despite it taking them 7 games to get there. They are not being asked to share their championship with Cleveland because "it was close."

Fox News also better shape up. First, apologize for their ridiculous poll. Second, shut Megyn Kelly up or can her, or we are going to start cancelling FNC.
