Alaska Called for Donald Trump
New York Times ^ | 9 November 2016 | The pundit class

Posted on 11/09/2016 6:50:15 AM PST by Vigilanteman

Go to this site, Politico or any of the others featuring presidential maps. They have finally called Alaska for Donald Trump, not that the result was ever in doubt, but it just shows the bile of the media.

Meanwhile, Arizona is still in doubt even with Trump's solid lead. So is Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire, with Hillary holding a steady but still narrow lead in only the last two.

And didn't Trump actually win one electoral vote in Maine's 2nd congressional district? Or is that still undecided? Maine is solid Clinton colored.

Does it really kill them that much to admit that Trump is likely to break 300 electoral votes?

And, of course, they are still spinning that Hillary might overtake him in the popular vote because so many votes from the left coast are still coming in.

Since Clinton has already conceded, I’m wondering why the eneMedia is still trying to carry her water.

The AP still hasn't called Alaska, which is curious.

MI, AZ, NH, and MN are still outstanding at both the NY Times and Associated Press.

The running vote tally at AP is 47.65% Clinton, 47.52% Trump. The margin is about 160,000 votes. The NY Times forecasts Clinton +0.5% when all is counted.

But, now is the time to remind everyone that some states (CA in particular) stop counting absentee ballots when the margin of victory exceeds the remaining votes. So, we may never know the actual popular vote.

Oh, and I forgot to add:

The difference between the Electoral College vote and the popular vote is a sign the EC is working exactly as designed. This is something that every Republican should be repeating.

The Founding Fathers designed the EC (and Congress) to ensure the most populous states couldn't overwhelm the smaller states. The President-elect must build a coalition of states, rather than simply campaigning for the votes of the most people.

This affects both campaign strategy and policy. So even if you are in a deep red or deep blue state, your vote does count by affecting policy.

If we are to have any hope of continuing on as a country, we must gain control of the media.

Oh, they won’t stop this time. No way. They want that number to wave around for the next 4 years.

It's what the left does

Think of the primaries as a skirmish....it flushed out the traitors of the GOPe and exposed the collusion of the MSM with the dims

Yesterday's event was the first major battle with the opposing forces....mostly on enemy territory...but a victory non the less.

The Dims, lobbyists, special interests, LaRaza, islamics and communists will not go quietly into the night.

Expect resistance to Trump's first 100 day campaign.

That was the same in 2000 as well. The popular vote alone doesn’t elect the President but the left used it to hammer W. Expect the same for the new President elect.

-- Since Clinton has already conceded, I'm wondering why the eneMedia is still trying to carry her water. --

The narrative goes on. The players are expendable. CNN dpoes a segment based on the premise that Russia rigged our election, "everybody know it, not just the Clinton campaign but US officials." Every lie they were spinning before, they are spinning now. Trump is going to enage in mass deportation.
