If you get your political updates through ordinary channels – MSM; local news; the major newspapers; and popular website newsies such as Yahoo, Facebook, and more recently Drudge – you most likely feel that America is imploding, all due to the chaos of the Trump administration.
The goal is to wear you down, if not wear you out, until you agree that Trump must go.
The stakes rise with each new Trump achievement, commensurate with the rising decibel level of those who express outrage at whatever he says. That's what happens when your cherished assumptions are disproven day after day. It's comical and also understandable. No one likes to admit that he is wrong. Or that they are wrong on a regular basis. It's embarrassing and humiliating – especially if you are touted as an expert journalist or commentator, at least by virtue of being on TV.

You are right.
Only a fool or Jim Acosta would take that bet.
But I repeat myself.
If you only count legal votes by USA Citizens, the criminal sociopath, hilLIARy, lost by millions. That is why the DIMs wanted the recounts and investigations of fraud stopped.
You are in denial and missing the point....... there are not more of us than them.
When the choice becomes Trump or Rampaging Communist Whackos, even the mushy middle is going to cling to Trump as if he were a life preserver.
Trump is the slackers greatest fear the wheels fall of gravy train swamp gets drained free lunch counter closed and no rules logic dies.
Actually there are more of us than of them. And our numbers are growing.
Just one small piece of anecdotal evidence. My in-laws were fanatical network news watchers. They believed everything that the big three said on the air. (I would of course do my best to educate them.)
Then Obama and the anti-trumpers happened. Now they have said OUT LOUD to me that they don’t even bother with network news anymore as it is all fake news!!
They are both hard core Trump supporters and are becoming more conservative as each day dawns. (They are both in their 70’s!!)
I know a bunch more from their generation that have followed the same road. And I know a bunch from the younger generations who are becoming more conservative. They are finally waking up to the damage that the democrats have done to THEIR FUTURE!
Good news. From what time period was this data gathered ?
Trump should do a Rally at least once a Month.
It’s like an American / Political recharging session.
Like it says....post-Trump.
CA alone pulled Hillary into the Popular Vote majority.
She may have won it, but her Margin of victory would be much smaller if not for the rampant Illegal Invader Vote here.
I believe I read that a recent study showed the percentage of Votes cast exceeded the number of eligible Voters by 18%.
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.The plain fact of the matter is that skepticism is mandatory adult behavior. Especially when listening to someone who claims actually to be objective (or wise). We come here to FR to pool our (individually woefully inadequate) reservoirs of “incredulity."The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors . . .
The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
I watch the local news while I’m eating my breakfast.
I don’t think Hillary won the popular vote. But that is a trivial metric. Only EV matters.
CNN doesn’t need advertisers.
Well, since the vote was not ordered to be recounted, there is no question of this or that. Hillary won the popular vote. The leftists are an existential threat
Your denial exacerbates the problem
To the contrary, there _is_ a question as to the validity of the popular vote count. That is obvious - it’s in the culture, debated on line and in the news.
Your denial of the existence of such question exacerbates the problem.
That there has been no recount is not indicative of any validity of the published results.
“We come here to FR to pool our (individually woefully inadequate) reservoirs of “incredulity.”.........
I’m beginning to question that as well. :)
I don’t deny the existence of a question. The amount has not been measured and there certainly is no real proven quantification of the fraudulent margin
To do happy dances in denial of the loss of the popular vote and the strength of the leftist bluezone city enclaves is just stupid, foolish.
