I’m ok with a county by county new US of A.

[Getready]

She is into maximizing monetary input...so she lost...she is gonna try and take positions that many suckers will give her money to publicly espouse. She will probably run for congresswomen in cal or ny...she probably needs plausible protection on a federal level from all those she has swindled in the past

[Vinnie]

On the radio...
Exclude NYC and LA county, Trump wins popular vote by 50k.

[Organic Panic]

I would love if Trump actually takes on vote fraud. We are one of the few nations that don’t require voting IDs. Why??? Oh... Democrats. Not only illegal aliens, but the snowbirds who have a house in Jersey, and a condo in Florida, who vote in both states.

[CptnObvious]

Get rid of the Electoral College and these two states will dominate the other 48.

[justa-hairyape]

The Hillary campaign, like the idiots they were, assumed the Electoral College was there’s. So they took the Trump Troll Bait and went for the popular vote win. The bait was Trump contesting the election results. He never was planning to actually do that. Fools. The Left and the Neocons need to realize they are out of their League. The real adults have returned.

[Kickass Conservative]

Liberals want us too live in a real life Hunger Games.

The ruling “District” sets the rules for all the other Districts.

Donald Sutherland for President!

[Ladysforest]

Did you know that if you added up the 2015 “estimated” population of the twenty-two states (including non-voting DC) with lowest population it totals 36,738,123?

The 2015 estimated (legal?) population total in California is 39,144,818.

CA has a 2015 estimate of 2,406,695 more people than TWENTY-TWO states combined. (I am aware that DC is not a state - but they are pushing for a vote, so I included them)

So, if I do a goofy thing and pretend that every single person in CA is legal to vote and all cast their vote for Hillary, then I pretend that all the people in the other twenty-one states and DC are eligible to vote and they all cast their votes for Trump. Hillary would have 2,406,695 MORE votes than Trump. Which is quite close to the number of “popular” votes she received over Trumps total, LOL.

THIS is why we should fight to retain the electoral collage.

[FreeReign]

Congress should investigate the vote fraud. In the case of California, there is strong evidence of a foreign power (Mexico) meddling in the election.

The Trump administration does need to investigate voter fraud.

Anything short of that is business as usual. Anything short of that and all that Trump accomplishes will be washed away in the next election cycle.

[LouAvul]

I sure hope I never have to kneel to the likes of moonbeam brown nose or deblasio. Without the EC, that’s exactly what will happen.

[sdthree]

Even if you include NY in the tally, Trump still won the popular vote by 1.4 million votes across 49 out of 50 states.

California has been discussing secession. The rest of the country ought to do everything it can to encourage it.

[Ragnar54]

Rather than give up on California, we should take California back. Close the border and require voter ID for all border states (in the interest of national security). Voter registration should also require an ID and proof of citizenship. Online registrations should be voided. Congress would have to impeach the federal judges who ruled against voter id for multiple states this year.

[Stayfree]

supposedly over 3 million illegals voted in California...I believe it

[alstewartfan]

So, Trump lost the *official popular vote by 2.8 million, but after you subtract the 5 million illegal votes in big cities and California, he WON it by 2.2 million.

[Sam Gamgee]

So either he was really really reviled in California, or CA was just the easiest state to cheat in. The swing states were too hard to penetrate with dead or illegal voters, and the polls were watched very very carefully.

[V1Rotate]

but after you subtract the 5 million illegal votes in big cities and California,

And that five million should be an offer to the democrats. Concede this many votes, or were doing an audit. We just happen to have a lot of IRS agents that are going to need something to do come January. We can let them count the votes.

[V1Rotate]

Don’t tell the grammar police!

I meant we’re going to do an audit.

[mdmathis6]

52.5 per cent voted against Hillary.....54 per cent voted against Trump...if you also consider those voting for third parties. No one “won” the over all popular vote though it could be shown that Hillary had the larger plurality vote over Trump. If we had coalition power sharing built into the constitution that allowed a more “direct democracy” then the third parties would have been approached by Trump or Hillary for their votes in order for one or other to be able to “form” a government. Hence the dreaded “factionalism” that the founders so feared! The EC is genius!

[fortes fortuna juvat]

When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes. Great line. Whenever in the future I am discussing the election, and the popular vote is mentioned, I will immediately make the very important and truthful distinction between the LEGAL popular vote won by President Trump and the ILLEGAL popular vote won by Mrs. Clinton. I think we should always make that truthful clarification.

[snarkytart]

Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary. Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide. When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes. (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...

This is finally out, and what I've been saying since the day after the election. I was watching the popular vote tally and Trump was ahead until early in the morning the following day when Cali was tallied. If flipped to her, and grew steadily as Cali counted their mail-in ballots. WE NEED THIS TO BE REPEATED BY RUSH AND SEAN, and OTHERS.
