Yeah, not to get your blood pressures to spike over the weekend, but some on the feminist Left just need to accept that 2016 happened and they lost. It doesnt matter that Hillary Clinton got more popular votes either; thats not how you win the presidency. We all know this. Now, as we enter the 2018 midterm season, we still have some who just cant stand that Trump won, that hes president, and that Hillary Clinton will never be presidentever. Enter Gloria Steinem who says she doesnt think Trump is president because he lost by 10 million votes. No, he didnt (via New England Cable News):
Hundreds of women and men came to the opening night of the Massachusetts Conference for Women to hear Gloria Steinem speak. The feminist icon told the crowd Wednesday that sexual harassment is about power, not sex, and she said women are gaining their voices in a way that's never happened before. The 83-year-old didn't not mince words on power and politics. On the national conversation about sexual misconduct, she pointed to the top. "He's not the president," Steinem said of Donald Trump. "He lost by 10 million votes. I never called him president once, he's the harasser-in-chief and part of the reason, at this point, people are so frustrated." Again, thats not how we decide the president, Ms. Steinem. Trump had a decisive 304-227 Electoral College victory over Hillary. Thats why hes president. The willful ignorance of ignoring this aspect of the Constitution just shows you how liberals just make up the rules and move the goal posts when things dont go their way. Its their hallmark characteristic. Also, by people, you mean liberals right, Gloria?
Yet, its par for the course for Steinem and her ilk. Our gal couldnt hack it, so no one really won or something. Indeed, I can understand the anger; this was one of the most winnable elections for Democrats, who blew it when they nominated Lady Macbeth to be their standard bearer. The Left shouldnt be angry at Trump for winning, they should be more infuriated with Hillary for losing. She could have won this election if she had an economic agenda and political skill. She had neither. Some things cant be fixed, but there certainly were other areas that she could have improved on to better her chances, like campaigning aggressively in the Rust Belt.
Meant to say red state Americans don’t care.
Yeah right, 10 million illegal and false votes. Right on, you fool.
Because of her, many unborn never had the chance to age.
Sure, Gloria. Hillary Clinton is President and it was great seeing President Gore responding to 9-11. The nationwide popular vote doesn’t determine who is elected President!
You might come close to ten million if you counted all the other candidates votes for Hillary, because everyone knows Libtarian voters were just about to vote for her.
Lock her up!
The deal was abortions. Abortions for all, anytime, anywhere. Abortions as far as the eye could see.
This malignancy-on-civil-society wretch is a bitter, angry old hag. Much of this vitriol is because at some level she realizes her life has been worse than worthless. Soon she will go on to Judgment.
I think we know who the muzzies would overwhelmingly vote for around the world...their homeboy Barack Hussein.

10,000,000???
Wasn’t it 3,000,000 votes all from Los Angeles?
Actually, I thought she looked OK in this picture. I saw a close up of her the other day and yeah, not aging well at all. {{shudder}}
Donald Trump isn’t the President? Strange, I’m pretty sure I saw him be certified as the winner during the joint session of Congress when the votes were tallied and then be sworn in as President, and I’m pretty sure he’s living in the White House now. He decisively won the election, 304 votes to 227, and he didn’t “lose” the non-existent “popular vote” by anywhere near 10 million votes, either.
I think he lost by 100 Billion Trillion votes, Gloria. There ya go; try that number.
That darn Electoral College that’s been around for so long....
“And now you understand the supreme importance of the Electoral College.”
Well said, thank you.
Not just any abortions...The right to exterminate the black population and Clinton allowed them to get away with genocide, so they allowed him a pass on rape...20 million black babies murdered through abortion,even the kkk never came up.with numbers like these...Millions more never born through birth control and sterilization...Democrats and Planned parenthood are so good at getting rid of blacks,they had to bring in Mexicans and hispanics to keep dems in power.
