Trump Voters put in perspective

[Quicksilver]

http://www.upworthy.com/11-things-that-put-the-number-of-people-whove-voted-for-trump-in-perspective?c=ufb1


11 million total votes cast in Trump's favor this far (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/republican_vote_count.html) have been good enough to best his rivals and let him walk away with a commanding victory in the Republican primary, it doesn't actually make him all that popular in the grand scheme of things. 11 million votes might sound like a lot, but there are 318 million Americans (http://www.census.gov/popclock/), meaning that, currently, only 3.5% of the population has cast a ballot for Trump. That's peanuts. Even if we grant that a lot of those are children and others who can't vote, that's still peanuts. Not even peanuts. It's just peas. Or just nuts.


62.6 million Americans volunteered in 2013 (http://www.nationalservice.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2014/new-report-1-4-americans-volunteer-two-thirds-help-neighbors). That's 51.6 million more people than have voted for Trump so far.


Attendance at the stadiums of the six worst MLB teams in their division (http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2015-misc.shtml) last year totaled 14.1 million. That means 3.1 million people thought it was a better use of their time and money to watch the completely hopeless Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers, and Colorado Rockies flail helplessly at a series of 90-mile-per-hour fastballs for three-plus hours than to cast a vote for Donald Trump.



Among the 55 million Americans (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/facts-for-features/2015/cb15-ff18.html) who identify as Latino, Trump currently boasts an impressive 77% unfavorable (http://www.gallup.com/poll/189887/trump-major-image-problem-hispanics.aspx) rating.
That means there are almost four times more Latino-Americans who hate Trump's guts (42 million) then there are total people who have voted for him so far.



Wind turbines provide power to an estimated 18 million American homes (http://www.awea.org/Resources/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=5059). Given that the average American household contains 2.5 people, that's about 45 million people helping save planet Earth by doing nothing more than living high off that sweet breezy crude — 34 million more people than have pulled the lever (or filled in the dot or dimpled the chad) for the former CEO of Trump Steaks.


Americans not only gave $358 billion in 2014, but a Gallup poll taken the previous year found that 83% made some sort of charitable donation (http://www.gallup.com/poll/166250/americans-practice-charitable-giving-volunteerism.aspx), which works out to about 265 million people.
That's not only a staggering amount of humans; it's real money! Definitely more real than the donations Donald Trump promised to make to veterans organizations and then only sort of did (http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/donald-trump-veterans-donations/).



55% of Americans — about 175 million people — favor federal funding for Planned Parenthood (http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/09/two_more_polls_show_support_for_planned_parenthood .html).
Even if you extrapolate out Trump's percentage of the Republican primary vote (40%) to half or all of the electorate, Planned Parenthood still comes out ahead.



America's national parks recorded a whopping 307.2 million visits (http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/17/travel/national-park-service-record-visits-2015-feat/) in 2015.
That's like if 11 million people each voted for 28 Donald Trumps...



As of May 4, 2016, the official video for "Disney's 'Frozen' 'Let it Go' Sequence Performed by Idina Menzel" had been watched an ungodly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk)526 million times (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk)! If there was a way to put it to a vote, a 3-year-old theater-pop anthem of self-empowerment from a children's movie would pile-drive Donald Trump into the mat in the biggest landslide in history.


A mere 5% of all Americans use mass transit (http://fusion.net/story/139743/just-5-percent-of-workers-in-americas-largest-cities-use-public-transit/) to get to work. The good news? That works out to 16 million people, which is five million more than have voted for a trust-fund baby who bankrupted his gross casinos (http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2068227_2068229_2068237,00.html).


11 million people in the Republican primary voted for Donald Trump.
14.5 million Republican primary voters haven't. That's about 3.5 million more, according to math.

[stjames1_53]

about this bankruptcy thing...you DO know the difference between a Chapter 11 and a Chapter 13, eh?
You're espousing the meme, but it is a lie.
He didn't file bankruptcy on those casinos. They weren't his. He licensed his name to brand, only. He's not responsible for the real owners running the businesses into the ground.
We got a street named Trump. There are massive potholes throughout the length. Is it Trump's fault the holes aren't patched, or the City that named it Trump Street?
Same as all these streets and highways that are named MLK. Is MLK responsible to maintain these roads? Or The Korean Veterans Highway. Are the vets responsible for maintaining the highway? If the city files for bankruptcy, is it your opinion the Korean Vets should be hogtied, tarred and feathered and run out of town?

Apples and oranges are both fruit, but still different.

Trump hasn't even been officially confirmed at the GOP nominee and already the desperation is showing on the faces of the spin doctors. :grin:

It's irrelevant how many votes any individual candidate has gotten to this point.

What is relevant is who is chosen by their specific party.

Clinton has gotten more votes -- to date -- but not a lot more and the Dem votes are only divided two ways. Trump got fewer, but the GOP field was much larger.

All in all -- what should be worrying the Dems at this point is the TOTAL number of party votes.


Overall vote
Republicans 20,375,925
Democrats 15,070,178
By candidate
Clinton 8,668,136
Trump 7,548,429
Sanders 6,131,951
Cruz 5,484,494
Rubio 3,394,134
Kasich 2,725,327
Carson 677,307
Bush 249,894
O'Malley 94,692

Keep an eye out for more than the usual GOP-initiated voter suppression attempts. Not just voter ID laws - and ancillary laws, like the one just passed in Wisconsin which prohibits all government entities from spending any money on the issuance of photo IDs - but other things they have done in the past, like robo-calls on election morning directing voters in predominately Democratic areas to the wrong polling place...perhaps even attempts to gain the Holy Grail of election fraud: the hacking of electronic voting machines. A vast ramping up of such tactics is literally the only way DJT is ever going to be elected the POTUS, and everyone knows it.

Let's not ignore Alabama's method: require photo ID's to vote and then close the offices that issue the ID's in poor, predominately black counties.

I have several aunt, uncles and a Grandmother who chose "never" to get a drivers licenses, they take Cabs, Buses and Trains to go everywhere. But they live in more metropolitan areas where access is available to them and they are physically able to get around without help.

That's not the case fro everyone and everywhere.

To date, I have considered the fringe Right talk of "insurrection", "civil war", etc., if Trump is not elected to be so much dirt-stupid grumbling by those eager to trade their 9-to-5 cubicle farm for a phony military rank and some Red Dawn-ish fantasy of shooting the mailman and looting the local gun store.

Actually, I still think that's true, but it just occurred to me that if Trump were - by some miracle combination of Republican fraud and Democratic apathy - to be elected, there would probably be some movement in the low-key rebellion realm among the nation's Liberal establishment. Something considerably more lawyer-ish and intelligent than blowing up cell towers and assassinating state senators, but something.

You show a very poor understanding of how rebellions occur. I am not surprised.

Once President Trump is in office the entire Federal government must be cleansed from top to bottom to rid it of the vermin he has placed in it. From members of the Muslim Brotherhood to La Raza elites to ACLU lawyers it is time to throw them all out.

It will be good to have an American president and it will be good to cleanse all of the anti-Americans out of the Federal government.

"Every single county in which blacks make up more than 75 percent of registered voters will see their driver license office closed. Every one," Archibald wrote.

I would like to hear the screams if similar complications were placed on exercising 2nd Amendment rights....gun ownership is obviously more cherished than the right to vote.

You show a very poor understanding of how rebellions occur. I am not surprised.

Once President Trump is in office the entire Federal government must be cleansed from top to bottom to rid it of the vermin he has placed in it.

That made even less sense than the rest of your post, and that's saying something.


From members of the Muslim Brotherhood to La Raza elites to ACLU lawyers it is time to throw them all out.

It will be good to have an American president and it will be good to cleanse all of the anti-Americans out of the Federal government.

You show, as usual, a very poor understanding of, among other things, how a democratic republic works and what actually constitutes being anti-American.

Donald Trump has as much chance of being elected President of the United States as Bernie Sanders has of being chosen the next Pope.

PolWatch Your John Archibald factoid was debunked the first time it was used.

The affected offices issued or renewed less than 9,000 driver's licenses and identification cards in 2014; the counties had just over 551,000 active or inactive voters that year. The number represented less than one-half of one percent of the voting population.

The totals were slightly higher in the 12 Black Belt counties that lost examiners: there, the offices issued or renewed 2,702 licenses and identifications in counties with 128,788 active and registered voters, or about 2.1 percent of voters.

Not to mention they were open part time.

In some cases if the reader fails to understand it is the fault of the writer. But not in this case.

A rebellion is not going to start by shooting a postman. Thinking so confirms your lack of a clue.

By executive order, President Trump can do away with every position held by an anti-American, radical leftist. Regrets. We just don't need all that many members of the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House. And you La Raza types, well, we have not more need for your agitation and propaganda efforts.

Those of you in the Federal government with Obama/Biden or Hillary stickers on your cars might want to consider something other than government employment. We just don't need that many people who are willing to trash the people who make the country work, in our federal government.

I would not be surprised if you are among those who wonder how Trump got the nomination.

Hmmm. Pope Sanders.

And yet the list of all of the open offices was three times longer than this website's messaging software allows in a single post. My town, Madison, has only one location.

Not without fundamentally changing the way the law and the federal government actually work in the real world, he couldn't. Your fringe Right fantasies betray you once again.

And since you are still apparently having trouble seeing the beam in your own eye, as it were, I'll repeat what you wrote before - see if you can figure it out this time.

It would be the perfect use for an executive order. For the Executive Branch it would be flawless.

That cleans hundreds of thousands of radical leftists out of government positions. He can eliminate the jobs held by radicals in the Justice Department. And the EPA. And the Education Department. And in DHS. He can fire the Obama-ass-kissing political generals and admirals. I look forward to it.

@PolWatch (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1099) Your John Archibald factoid was debunked the first time it was used.

I'm not sure what you believe was 'debunked'. This is the list of counties that had the DL offices closed:

Other offices that will close are located in these counties: Baldwin, Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Chambers, Cherokee, Choctaw, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Crenshaw, Escambia, Fayette, Geneva, Greene, Hale, Henry, Lamar, Lowndes, Macon, Perry, Pickens, St. Clair, Sumter, Tallapoosa, Washington, Wilcox and Winston.
http://whnt.com/2015/09/30/alea-announces-driver-license-office-closures-includes-two-in-north-alabama/

The list of counties comprising the Black Belt is often dependent on the context but historically includes 18 counties:

I would really like to see where the debunking occurred. Those voters don't have a right to vote because they are in poor, rural counties without large populations? Again, let's make it difficult for people to own guns. You won't mind having to travel to a store 2 counties away that is open part time during regular work hours to buy guns, ammo or a permit.....would you? That's not a infringement on your rights?

[hanger4]

This time the debunking is right in your link;

"Probate Judges and License or Revenue Commissioners will continue to provide the same renewal services they have traditionally handled in their facilities. Additionally, statewide equipment upgrades announced in July, will allow Probate Judges and License or Revenue Commissioners to renew STAR IDs and conduct other services that were previously only performed at Driver License Offices.”

All services are being preformed.

uh....then why the changes to the first proposed closures?

'The governor of Alabama has partially reversed a decision to close more than 30 government offices that issue driver licenses and photo IDs, following weeks of criticism by civil rights advocates and Democratic lawmakers who say the action would make it harder for some black residents to get the identification needed to vote. On Friday, Gov. Robert Bentley (R) said that instead of fully closing the 31 offices, most in rural communities around the state, the facilities would open once a month to serve residents.

I have several aunt, uncles and a Grandmother who chose "never" to get a drivers licenses, they take Cabs, Buses and Trains to go everywhere. But they live in more metropolitan areas where access is available to them and they are physically able to get around without help.

How were they able to cash their welfare checks and buy 40s?

Admit it. You do know what was going on. The disgraced governor Bentley, on his Mistresses short leash, was trying to force a tax increase. It is really that simple. In fact, it is so simple you, yes you, already knew the right answer. So why all the pretense?
