In the 1960 World Series the losing team scored more than twice as many runs as the winning team, as the Yankees won three blowout games (163, 100, and 120), while the Pirates won four close games (64, 32, 52, and 109). Regardless of how many runs the Yankees had the Pirates won the series by winning the most games. How many Yankees fans have been mocked over the decades for claiming they really won the 1960 World Series because they had more runs? Even the brain dead liberal's at ESPN can understand the Yankees lost under the rules.
In the same fashion, under rules understood for 230 years before this election, Trump won the most games/states/electors in this election so that is the end of it. California, New York, Illinois, and every leftist crybaby can suck it.
Here is the detail from Wikipedia:
The 1960 World Series was played between the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League (NL) and the New York Yankees of the American League (AL) from October 5 to 13, 1960. It is most notable for the Game 7, ninth-inning home run hit by Bill Mazeroski, the only time a winner-take-all World Series game has ended with a walk-off home run.
Another unusual aspect of this World Series is that the losing team scored more than twice as many runs as the winning team, as the Yankees won three blowout games (163, 100, and 120), while the Pirates won four close games (64, 32, 52, and 109). The Series MVP was Bobby Richardson of the Yankees, the only time in history that that award has been given to a member of the losing team.
Actually a lot of the kids I taught in my first 15 years of teaching are friends of course they are 45 to 55 today, parents and even grandparents.One of the rare plusses of Facebook
Greatest World Series ever!
Well that makes sense. But the fact remains they are no longer 8th grade friends. They are friends known since the 8th grade. Big difference, at least to me. 8>)
BFL. Excellent comparison....

The interesting thing about the "reform" that's passed in a number of blue states (including KKKalifornia and Blue York) is that, if it were to become active (requires 35 states to pass it, and is non-binding on other states) it will practically guarantee no further Demwit presidencies, just because the two large states which are irreparably blue will see a revived turnout from red voters, who know they can tip the popular vote in the direction of the Republican candidate, thus they'll show up for a change. The website has BS DNC talking points about how there's no voter fraud (just "undocumented voters" I suppose) to trouble the minds of all those Deplorables, but even other than that, the ignorance there is astounding.
