Hillary Clinton’s lead in CALIFORNIA has climbed to 2.8 million votes

HRC's margins in CA, NY, & IL, respectively, were 4,269,978, 1,732,872, and 944,714, for a total margin of 6,947,564 in just those 3 States.

That means that DT had a net margin of ~4,150,000 in the other 47 States. And people wonder why the Electoral system was instituted, and still needed?

Why is Hillary’s vote lead continuing to climb?

Don’t they have deadlines to count votes, even absentee and provisional ballots, long before now?

Yet we keep hearing how as more votes are counted, HIllary’s lead continues to grow.

Something doesn’t add up with how Hillary has this enormous popular vote lead.

In a strange way I wish these people would succeed in causing a cataclysmic social upheaval in their attempts to subvert, overturn or over throw this past election. They won’t succeed, but down deep, I almost hope they would.

“I’m an alumni of UCSC ...”

Well I am an alumni of UCB, so we both have something to live down now don’t we? I wouldn’t go pi$$ on a fire at UCB.

just those 3 States

Never mind that.

Four counties: New York, Bronx, Cook, and Los Angeles - account for Hillary's entire lead in the so-called "popular vote".

The framers WANTED us to be governed by the biggest states, right? That is the libtard argument.

Look at Post 49 above from R4Freddy: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3505665/posts?page=42#42

If we didn’t have the EC, we would be governed by the (liberal) whims of 3 states, all of which are handout-friendly (bought votes) and contain MANY illegals (invalid votes but cast anyway).

Does he want that?

Is your family from Mexico\C. America or from S. America?
While not Hispanic myself (but being 1\2 Italian surely just as “Latino”)
all of my Hispanic friends and family (all legal) seem to be divided this way
Mexicans for Trump, C Americans \ DR against, S Americans for. Guessing this is because the more of a banana republic the poorer countries are the more “justification” there is to allow their entry. Discussion about how much they cost net or their “contribution” to our economy nation and culture doesn’t go far with the bigger open border proponents.

Suggest to him that changes to the electoral college can come at the state level: that is in how the electors are chosen and how the electoral vote is distributed. ME and NE do not have winner-take-all, which many oppose, but their legislatures set up proportional representation by U.S. House districts. Other states could do the same.

We also could abolish electors but keep the electoral vote configuration, but that would require a constitutional amendment too, and no constitutional amendments are viable regarding any part of the electoral college.

My family is from mexico. I was born here.

They have openly wondered why I turned out the way I did, meaning how did I end up being so pro american and anti “immigration”. No matter how many times i tell them I’m not anti immigration I’m anti ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION they just ignore it and shout me down. How can I turn against my roots?
I know my roots but this is my home. I served my country and i would die for this country and the constitution. I would never fight or die for mexico. THAT IS NOT MY HOME!!!!

You could ask them lots of things like if it’s ok for illegals to steal from others and (if they are religious, also still be good Christians) but they’ll probably say: their “exploitation” is not a fair exchange for their labor so social benefits must be granted additionally (however uneven and unbalanced the exchange truly is in favor of the parasites and not in favor Of the citizenry) and that it’s really minimal and the costs are covered by their own taxes and output (which is impossible)

I feel what they’d really like is for this invasion to be a means for Mexican culture and Spanish language to dominate, which is unAmerican to the core.
