LA Times ^ | 12.19..16 | LA Times, Breitbart

Posted on 12/19/2016 7:51:58 PM PST by rface

Trump, who is vacationing this week at his Mar-a-Lago beachfront resort in Palm Beach, Fla., said he’d surpassed the electoral-vote majority “by a very large margin, far greater than ever anticipated by the media.”

Trump gets 304/538 electoral votes = 56.5%

Hillary gets 227/538 = 42 % electoral votes.

Trump Beats Hillary by 14.5%.

He always was good at turning on the tears. Should’ve been an actor.

Clinton is a bold-faced LIAR.
HIS legacy is LYING.

Seven of the electors cast their votes differently.

2 of them were Trumps...but FIVE OF THEM were Hillary’s. LOL!

Only one other time in History did we have more, way back in the early 1800s when eight cast their votes differently.

So the libs asked for an electoral college revolution, and they got a sputtering meaningless-puff, where over twice as many as did what they asked...did it to oppose Hillary instead of Trump!

Gotta love it.

Ultimately, this what I believe the Establishment & Media (but I repeat myself) was really trying to accomplish all along.

Their ideal, "wet dream" goal was to somehow drag Hillary across the finish line, but, barring that, they wanted to make sure that they could blunt a Trump landslide as much as humanly possible.

And, even though their power is rapidly waning, I believe that these scumbags, who profoundly betrayed the American People, were able to accomplish that.

Thankfully, to my mind, the important thing was that Donald Trump was still able to win.

Now, President Trump and the People are going to set some things aright...

You are not factoring in the Globalist were tried to steal this election.

There were 3.5 million illegal votes and 4 million dead votes all for Hillary.

So subtract 7.5 million from Hillary and Trump wins the popular vote by 5 million people.

That’s AFTER the rig for Hillary.

If you look at the rallies Hillary was averaging about 100 people per rally while Trump was averaging 20 thousand, and many thousands more were turned away.

There was clearly a landslide for Trump. That’s why Hillary was unable to steal it. The Globalist tried, but the landslide was so massive they could not stop it.

The funny thing is that if CALEXIT had already happened, Trump would have won the popular vote by millions and the Electoral College vote by more than 130. It would have cost Hillary 8M votes but Trump only 4M votes, and Hillary would have lost 55 electoral votes. The Dims know this and is why they will NEVER let CA secede.

If CA split into 6 states as some proposals have it, there would be an additional 10 electoral votes for a total of 65 and the Dims would have trouble winning 35 of them.

If CA could deport all of the illegals, which might have been the result if Prop 187 hadn’t been overturned by the liberal 9th Circuit back in 1994, the popular vote would be a toss-up.

It is a better margin than JFK, Nixon’s first term and Jimmy Carter, and GWB. Also better than Woodrow Wilson’s second term.

Unless illegals are removed, CA, IL, and NY will never be won by a Republican again.

What I think is so funny about all this ELECTROIAL college hype and vote your conscience stuff is after it is all over, Trump lost one vote, The guy in TX that we heard about getting his 15 minutes of fame. Then Hillary lost 5 votes (about 2% +/-). So how did all that work out Hillary?

Does you list take into account the first generation of fully indoctrinated leftist youth or the failure of Jimmy Carter together with the positive impacts of our bicentennial on Americanism which ushered in Reagan.

You list lacks context and is therefore data which without interpretation misleading at best.
