I responded to your post, which had limited information, which you stated was a history refresher concerning Hillary and the popular vote.

I provided factual information.

And history backs me up that the Previous Duly Elected Presidents of The United States, just like the The Duly Elected 45th President was elected via the EC even when a past candidate (Gore) won the popular vote and lost the Presidency via the EC process.

So, you mentioning Clinton getting the popular vote remains meaningless as far as history goes even when connected to the statement made by Jimbo or all the excuses Hillary made for her loss, since the history of the previous popular vote win did not result in a win to the Presidency.

FACT CHECK: Gen. David Petraeus on the 0.45%

Hillary Clinton’s Popular Vote Win Came Entirely from California

Hillary Clinton garnered 4.3 million more votes than Donald Trump in the nation's most populous state.

snippet

If the election was decided by the popular vote, than we would be swearing in a President Hillary Clinton.

But that’s not how it works. And — as he has said many time — if Donald Trump was campaigning for the popular vote, rather than the electoral vote, he would have campaigned much differently.

But he didn’t and Hillary’s margin of victory in that state was 4.3 million votes — or 61.5 percent

And therein lies the rub.

The purpose of the Electoral College is to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections…

If you take California out of the total, Donald Trump won the popular vote by 1.4 million.

Popular Vote numbers: Clinton 65,853,514 versus Trump 62,984,828

EC Numbers: Trump 304 Clinton 227

imho Jimbo was not confused what "Body" put Trump in the White House.

The popular vote did not put Clinton in the White House. The EC voting "Body" put Trump in the White House.

Based on the fact that until there is a change The Legitimate American Voters "Body" are counted via the EC and not by the popular count.

imho You tried to rewrite history and offered up the idea that the Popular American Voter "Body" was the legitimate voting body and the EC vote was not the legitimate voting "Body".

So, explain how your mention of Hillary winning the popular vote mattered in history concerning the fact that she lost the Presidency due to the EC vote to show Jimbo needed a history lesson from you which "Body" put Trump in the White House?

Roseann:)

I would fully support eliminating the Electoral College, but NOT the Electoral Vote. As soon as the States votes have been counted, the Electoral Votes of that State should be assigned to the candidate having received the most votes, period.
 
Just look at his comments on women.


"Look at that face. Would anybody vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"
"Why does she keep interrupting everybody?"
When Beyoncé was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner, if someone else would have done that it would have been a national scandal. I thought it was ridiculous ... I thought it was not appropriate.
"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?”
Hillary Clinton taking a bathroom break at a debate: "I know where she went, it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it … No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."
"Does she look presidential, fellas? Give me a break."
When talking about Maxine Waters: "An extraordinarily low IQ person."
Now, somebody who a lot of people don't give credit to but in actuality is really beautiful is Paris Hilton. I've known Paris Hilton from the time she's 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, 'Who the hell is that?
On Megyn Kelly: "She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever."
"What do you think of Lindsay Lohan? There's something there, right? But you have to like freckles. I've seen a close-up of her chest. And a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles? ... She's probably deeply troubled, and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women — deeply, deeply troubled — they're always the best in bed?"
"Can you imagine the parents of Kelli ... when she said, 'Mom, Dad, I just fell in love with a big, fat pig named Rosie?'"
.@BetteMidler talks about my hair but I'm not allowed to talk about her ugly face or body --- so I won't. Is this a double standard?"
"It is a very scary time for young men in America, where you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of. … Women are doing great."
Trump asked if he could have "nailed" Princess Diana: "I think I could have."
On Ivanka: "She does have a very nice figure ... if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." -- "She's actually always been very voluptuous."
"Well, I think that she's got a lot of Marla. She's a really beautiful baby, and she's got Marla's legs." Motioning to his chest, Trump added: "We don't know whether she's got this part yet, but time will tell." -- On his daughter Tiffany
"I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and f-ck her. She was married." [
"All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."
"That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees."
Asked about sex with a black woman: "Well, it depends on what your definition of black is."
"I've got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the *****. You can do anything."
 
I tend to dwell on what he is trying to accomplish which would be beneficial to us, as both a Nation and individual persons.
 
There are good people on both sides.:shock:
 
Anyone who can't discern a joke from an invitation should probably not be allowed to vote.

Just a thought.....

A person who can't tell when it's a time for a joke and when it's time to be serious probably shouldn't be president.

What is he trying to achieve?

To make people think the presidency is a popularity contest and a joke?

To make people think the presidency is place where you can just turn up and start using hate to get yourself there?

To make people think the presidency is about enriching yourself and your friends?

None of the above.
 
None of the above.

Well, that's what he's doing. If he's not trying to achieve this, then he's a bit of a failure.

I mean, what has Trump actually done?

I'm getting tax cut for the rich. And then my list stops.
 
History refresher. President Trump resides at 1600 Penn Ave. Anybody know where whoever came in second now resides?

The height of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Like believing Trump might say something truthful one day?
 
They had already been accused of hacking, and Obama, apparently aware, did nothing. I guess he approved it?

Yes. Obama made 2 mistakes there:

1) he overestimated the sheer number of deplorable and ignorant people in this country. Americans as a whole couldn’t be THAT stupid and backwards to really elect such an obvious pathological liar, cheat, and narcissist, could they?

2) he was cowed by Trumps threat of calling up the “second amendment people” if he lost the election. Since he was going to lose anyway, why stir up the pot with bringing up something that could be seen as him trying to stack the election in favor of Hillary? Let the Russians try, and then Hillary would look into it more discretely once she became president, right?

Again, the miscalculation was in overestimating the American voters.

How quaint. More evidence of the indoctrinated visceral hate Socialist Progressives have for what they perceive as non-approved humans.

Any plans for ovens to dispose of them?
 
For goodness sakes give it a rest.... 7/24 nonstop bitching about president Trump. Turn the damn computer off and go for a walk!!
We know you hate Trump and the GOP. Your time would be better spent trying to find a democrat that can beat Trump in the 2020 election!
That won't be an easy task with the clowns that are running.

Give it a rest? I guess that your post means that if a group of men is raping your sister, after a few dozen have done it we should stop trying to stop it right?

No, just waiting for the pain of their stupidity to become so overwhelming that even they have to cry uncle at some point. But it seems they will take the pain rather than admit their mistake, just out of spite and trying to save face.

Even more evidence of stupidity.

I understand. The indoctrination mandates that followers view anyone who doesn't salute the cause be viewed as a non-approved human who must be erased.

10's of millions of people is quite of pile of bodies. That's more than the Socialist Progressive's historical counterparts had to deal with in the 1930's and 40's.

If not ovens, what?

Funny, and a little sad, for someone as loquacious as you to not have understood what jimbo meant by his brief comment, or me by my brief response.

Maybe if you spent less time trying to impress everyone with your long winded posts, and more time ensuring that you’ve properly comprehended others comments, you wouldn’t feel compelled to compose yet another long winded post to spin your way out of your original misunderstanding.

Remember, succinctness and accuracy are more impressive than obnoxious bloviating. Give it a try. ;)

All of the above in spades!
 
Agreed. Fortunately Hillary lost. Can you imagine.....?

Unfortunately the US has a system where two bad candidates are the only viable candidates.
 
In your opinion what is the most distasteful thing you've heard our now president utter?

For me it was candidate trump inviting our worst adversary, russia, to look into his opponent's (enemy's) emails. Russia if you're listening...

That should have sent alarm bells ringing across the country, instead the folks on the right with their hatred of 'the libtards' cheered and chanted lock her up.

Disgraceful, how far the GOP has fallen.

And before folks start the TDS stuff maybe you should look at yourselves and ask why would I vote for a person inviting a foreign state to meddle in our elections? And not just any foreign state, russia.

His disregard for integrity. It is like listening to the Devil convincing people that hell is the place to live.

That’s because democrats practice the politics of personal destruction. At no time has that been more true than during Donald Trump’s President. The democrat congress spends all their energy on “getting Trump.” See why quality people won’t engage in this bs? Trump is crass but he is for America. That drives Democrats nuts. Being for America is so against their creed.
