Message to democrats: figure out why Americans detest Hillary and like Bill.
Both sides knew the rules going in.
Americans, by and large, don’t like sore losers.
Just ask upstate New Yorkers what they think about NYC dominating all elections.
Also, it is reasonable to suggest that a large percentage of the popular vote that went for Hillary were by illegal voters. All attempts to require an ID while voting have been fought tooth and nail by the Democrats and even the Democrat president, Obama, openly encouraged non-citizens to vote (in an interview on a Spanish station) “because they wouldn’t be caught.”
Is it rampant and enough to give Hillary the edge in the popular vote in the last election? Unknown. But it is not insignificant.
I detest the phrase”majority rules”;it is used to justify a lot of bad decisions.
Marriage is the ultimate check on majority rule. As a single person, you’re effectively a dictator. You answer only to yourself and you can do what you want.
Marriage ends that state of affairs. You have a partner to consider and you must compromise. They have a veto on what you want to. There is no majority rule in a marriage.
Its equally true in a republic. And majorities are usually transient in nature. That is why their evil and baneful effects are swiftly mitigated. We should not want to change it.
Hillary’s nationwide popular vote margin was about 2.9million. Her margin of victory in California was over 4 million. Take California out of the equation (and subtract the popular vote total from both candidates) and Trump wins the popular vote by just over 1.4 million.
Alternately, Hillary got 1.3 million votes from Los Angeles county alone. Add that to the totals she got from The Bronx and Queens, and that’s her entire nationwide popular vote total right there. Hardly a nationwide mandate.
Our forefathers were men of stunning intellect in the way they crafted our Constitution. They gave us the most powerful tool to manage a nation that’s ever been created by man. We have already damaged their Republic by passing the 16th and 17th amendments.
Yep - a lot of New York State is beautiful, non-big-city country and very conservative. They effectively have no vote except for local elections and their voices are drowned out by "Gotham".
Last line there should be “entire popular vote margin”, not total.
The longest running and most successful running government in world in modern times, and they want to change it? WTF are they thinking? Damn fools don’t know how well off they are. Would they be happier living in Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea or anywhere else in the world? Turn off the self destruct button, idiots.
Those facts can't be repeated often enough. No one should want one state monopolizing the entire country. It is no less than a dictatorship by a few metropolitan areas alone.
New York City has a population that is 37 percent foreign born.
...or non-Chicago Illinoisans
He can rest assured Texas will never vote the same as Califreakistan.
True. And they gravitated to the city because, like Kalifornia, it was already polluted with Leftists and welcomed them with open arms.
Depends on the 2 parties within a marriage. Since there is no deciding vote, in a 2 party marriage, then it usually becomes a matter of who can exert more influence. 8>)
No. Message to democrats -
PLEASE PLEASE keep doing what you’re doing! You’re inability to govern, lead, and show logical, rational thought is being exposed daily!
You’re a laughing stock, now slide the sword in all the way so most of you end up in the psych ward.
Likewise here in Colorado (which went to Hillary). Boulder and Denver dominate.
