Trump is a fraud. I see no connection between us saying that and his actions to follow. You are giving the fraud waaaaay to much credit. Again I will remind you that plenty of people from the right think the same thing. Let it play out. The smoke will clear and he will be left standing there exposed as the fraud he is. Though even than i expect the trumpers to be singing his praises. They are the only ones getting played. I am well aware of reality. |

Re: Recount Opinions
On the belief that you are referencing the popular vote margin - Neither candidate got more than 50% of the popular vote. 63Million people voted for DT, it's simply not a case that somehow 3Million more somehow makes the Clintonista group amazingly wiser. If we were a true democracy, we would have had a runoff, it would not have gone straight to HC. And in a 2 person race, the question is what would happen with the libertarian vote (the green vote going to HC en masse). If Libertarian went en masse for DT (not saying they would, but I think it likely most would). Then with the same numbers that voted, DT would have had a 181,000 vote lead.
The point is NOT to say DT won the popular vote, he didn't. The point is that the margin is so thin out of 137 million total votes, that it is to the point of absurdity to use it as any type of validation or invalidation of the electoral college result. |

Was simply referencing the others who are chasing JR's magic rabbit. Lol. Or whatever it was. My bad though - yea i should have said "me and 65 million others". Those insignificant 3 million votes are actually the greatest margin in popular vote history. Which, funny enough, would make it a landslide. Not like the alleged landslide in one of the closest electoral college margins in history. |

Recount Opinions

I think that all of those things have nothing to do with the landslide he kept referencing. Trump was referring to his majority over Hillary in the electoral college. All of those other things tell me that any other republican nominee would have won in a landslide. Lol Alot of republicans couldn't pull the trigger on Trump - same way alot of dems couldn't pull it on hillary. We should be feeling the Bern. Last edited by punch it in; 12-13-2016 at 06:56 PM. |
