It's a fact. Hillary got more votes last night.

Instead of tapping into a revolution, trump got the same 60 million votes republicans always get.

Bush got 62 million votes in 2004.

McCain got 60 million votes in 2008.

Romney got 61 million votes in 2012.

Trump will have around 60 million when all said and done this year.

And not once did the Republican nominee get the most votes.

So it wasn't about brexit, or nationalism, or borders, or obamacare, or email.

It was the same old same old.

It's what the gop does. It's all it can do.

The DNC has nobody to blame but themselves.

Look at the battleground states that Clinton lost - Sanders would have wiped the floor with Trump.

I'm just ashamed to see it come to this.

I agree it is complex. But Clinton has always been a very poor candidate. I am very surprised that Trump won but would not have been surprised if any other GOP nominee beat her. What I really wish could have happened is the DNC gave Sanders a fair shake. Because he could be President Elect right now.

Asks where he disparaged whites then reiterates that he's embarrassed to be a white man. You really can't make this shit up. No wonder they lost to Trump.

OP ignores the amount of 'never Trump' GOP voters (I call them idiots; people like Charlie Sykes, George Will and Charles Krauthammer) whose votes were wiped away from OTHERS who voted for Trump.

Voters who - quite possibly - have not voted for a Republican before. People who gave up on the system because they believed it was rigged, and others, who have been historical victims of the system, and reversed course.

And those people maintained the GOP's historical vote total. And what will happen if Trump wins over 'never-Trump' GOP voters, and increase his draw of those who had given up on the system, as well as increase his appeal to disenfranchised DEM voters?

Be afraid, OP: keep failing in analysis. I'm sure your clients will continue to pay well for your failures.

Once again we are a witness to the total lack of understanding of the concept of a Representative Republic. We, the people, do not elect the president. As the Constitution was originally framed only the House of Representatives was elected by direct vote of the people. The President of the United States is elected by the Electoral College and in fact is elected by the States. So, every President since George Washington could have lost the popular vote but still taken the White House and it would have been as the Framers envisioned.

It would be nice if sometimes these Nanny Staters would actually understand the foundations of this great country. But I hold out no hope.

It's hard for you guys to make the case that you are the majority when you never win a majority of the votes.

Hell, you don't even do that in Congress. We got a majority of congressional votes in 2012, 48% of the votes in 2014, and we probably had a majority last night.

About 191,000 votes. That number might go down after all the votes are counted. Considering how many dead people, felons, illegal aliens and others may have voted, Trump probably did win the popular. None of that matters though because we use the electoral system as set forth in our constitution. After all, our system of government is a republic, not a democracy. Thank God! Lets hope and pray we can keep it.

Gerimandering is a two edged sword. Every time you do it your margin gets smaller. One party gets sll of its people crammed into singular districts. The other party spreads out and experiences smaller margins.

Here in Ohio, dem districts are engineered by the opposition to perform at phenomenal 80% clips. Gop districts perform at 55-60%.
The gop gets more reps, but they also are spread more thinly.
When the shift happens it will be swift.

Trump put up the lowest presidential vote total of the 21st century for a major party candidate.
Well considering that he was not the usual establishment candidate, that he had to fight his own party almost to the end, had the MSM on his back like an avalanche, spent half of what his opponent did and had no track record before in office I think he did amazingly well. After 4 years of trying to get back jobs, push back corruption and provide some representation for working people's needs for the first time in 30 years he might even get more votes next time. And maybe more among blacks and hispanics as they realize he's not a racist boogeyman and they get more job too. Maybe the Democrats with their race baiting/sex baiting strategy might have to reinvent themselves. You never know.
By the way what a strange political party that you have to engage in population replacement using amnesties for illegal alien invaders in order to boost your vote. Seems almost treasonous.

Okay maybe you've got a point on that but some poster (maybe not you) was happy at the thought that changing demographics would see off the Republican party. I'm hoping Trump will be genuine on the getting the jobs back and demographics won't matter. All that will matter is just holding off any corporate America come back including their efforts to win by race/sex division.

I don't think that's completely accurate because members who fall into those groups, yet reject membership, blend very well into society as a whole. It's only when people accept the limitations and labels foisted on them that they take on the burden of the smaller group.

I've had females try to lure me into that trap all of my adult life and I've soundly rejected them. To my distinct advantage in the business world.

OP ignores the amount of 'never Trump' GOP voters (I call them idiots; people like Charlie Sykes, George Will and Charles Krauthammer) whose votes were wiped away from OTHERS who voted for Trump.

Voters who - quite possibly - have not voted for a Republican before. People who gave up on the system because they believed it was rigged, and others, who have been historical victims of the system, and reversed course.

And those people maintained the GOP's historical vote total. And what will happen if Trump wins over 'never-Trump' GOP voters, and increase his draw of those who had given up on the system, as well as increase his appeal to disenfranchised DEM voters?

Be afraid, OP: keep failing in analysis. I'm sure your clients will continue to pay well for your failures. Seems you were right about others who had never voted before turning out for Trump. Most of the way down in this article there's a couple of lines saying just that. Trump got a lot of new voters. And that cancelled out the Never Trump pricks who held their noses at the idea of Republicans actually being represented for once instead of them just having to hear about Jeb's guac bowl.

So, when a member here posts about blacks being criminal, only vote for entitlements, or should be grateful that slavery allowed them to be in America....then as a black person, I should reject membership as being black?

You should never stand for being abused, but neither should you identify yourself as a victim. Yesterday, a poster here made a comment that women shouldn't be allowed to vote (or run for President) because his girlfriend was too emotional over Hillary's loss. I didn't feel attacked just because his girlfriend and I have vaginas in common. My vagina doesn't define me -- and, I don't think your race should define you.

I know women who would have been extremely insulted by that poster's comment, but I wasn't. I told him to hold-up because I think Condi would make an excellent president and he didn't disagree.

Here's the deal (for me). I can't regulate what others think or say, nor do I want that ability, but I can, and do, choose how to feel about what they say and how to respond.

For the record, I think you are nearly always gracious when the topic of race comes up -- but I fully expect you to challenge stereotypical statements that try to lock you in a box. See, that's the thing -- I refuse to be put in a box while you sometimes allow others to do that to you.

But, and this is the big "but," those "boxes" do exist in society. There ARE feminist groups that give all women a bad name and there are black groups that do the same for blacks, just as there are smaller groups within designations such as "liberal" and "conservative" that give those groups bad names.

The same political party that decided women needed to be in a protective box also decided homosexuals and blacks needed protective boxes. I hate that! I refuse to sit in the victim box they made for me. But, it's up to you whether you will sit in the box they made for you.

The left is heavily invested in creating groups. You have women, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, LGBT. And they are all told they're being oppressed by the evil white man. They've been so busy beating down the white patriarchy and giving a voice to the oppressed that they missed the part where those same white men, just ordinary Americans, found their own voice and told the democrats to fuck off. Y'all weren't supposed to do that. You were supposed to stay beaten down and subjugated by the progressives.


Not creating but segregating society into those groups. And now as a result have created white-lash.

Totally agree and understand, however, there is a difference in someone speaking about a particular person that they may know, and blanketing an entire group. I mean, we see the hand wringing and animosity present whenever Cigar posts something that paints white people in a bad light, but when the same is done towards blacks, then I am identifying as a victim?

Only you can answer that because only you know how you feel inside. I don't take much offense to what Cigar says because he's just a little ornery. He likes to poke the hornets nest and see what comes buzzing out. But, there are times when it's important to stand up and say something if someone is trying to whitewash the truth. You probably didn't see the big argument I had with Mister D last month when he claimed lynching as a way to terrorize blacks was blown out of proportion. I felt his comment was unacceptable since history and the effect lynching had on blacks at that time was emotionally crippling.

So, you see, I DO recognize that sentiments exist that seek to revise history and its effects.

Cigar is pretty bright -- I don't see him taking on the victim mantle. When Trump won, Cigar was among the first to say he was going to give him a chance. That's not the reaction of a man who feels victimized. It's the reaction of man that feels empowered and confident. Don't take that to mean that I think you're not just as bright. I certainly do think you're highly intelligent. I just think that at times, you tend to internalize what others say more than Cigar does. At the end of the day -- I know darned well that Cigar signs off and goes to bed happy and laughing.

Gerimandering is a two edged sword. Every time you do it your margin gets smaller. One party gets sll of its people crammed into singular districts. The other party spreads out and experiences smaller margins.

Here in Ohio, dem districts are engineered by the opposition to perform at phenomenal 80% clips. Gop districts perform at 55-60%.
The gop gets more reps, but they also are spread more thinly.
When the shift happens it will be swift.

Theoretically, we're supposed to be a federated republic.

The states ceded limited, enumerated powers to the federal government and retained the rest for themselves.

The entire point of a federal system is to preserve the local aspects of democracy from the encroachment of abstract majorities and distant powers.

The idea that California, Illinois, and New York should get to determine how virtually every other state in the country is run is actually anathema to genuine democracy.

All this hullabaloo over the electoral college and the popular vote wouldn't be a problem if both sides simply stuck to the original intent of the constitution.

But because the federal government has assumed so many powers outside the confines of the constitution, the stakes are raised significantly and the effects of national legislation are much more all encompassing.

The federal government was only supposed to govern things that were truly national in scope, mostly defense, diplomacy, and interstate commerce. States like California and Texas arguably have a common interest in such matters and would be more likely to have shared ideas about how to promote those interests.

But when the federal government inserts itself into the minutia of everyday life and culture, those common interests evaporate almost immediately and the potential for resentment and conflict emerge.

Then a situation materializes where instead of California and Texas cooperating on common defense, they are battling over every detail of daily life in their respective states.

There is nothing in the Constitution that advocates states should be allowed to appoint their electors based on votes of those who do not live within that state.

The Popular Vote pact is an attempt to use a loophole in the Constitution to undermine the intent of the EC.

The final judge is not you -- nor the folks who want to undermine the intent of the EC, but rather the SCOTUS, when, and if, the issue ever gets there. When it does -- because the Justices are tasked with ruling based on the intent of the framers of the Constitution, the pact is very likely to be tossed in the dung heap.

Trump will have around 60 million when all said and done this year.

And not once did the Republican nominee get the most votes.

“We probably have about 7 million votes left to count,” said David Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Report who is tracking turnout. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/133Eb4qQmOxNvtesw2hdVns073R68EZx4SfCnP4IGQf8/htmlview?sle=true#gid=19) “A majority of them are on the coasts, in New York, California, and Washington. She should be able to win those votes, probably 2-1.” By mid-December, when the Electoral College officially casts its ballots, Wasserman estimates that Clinton could be ahead by 2 percentage points in the popular vote.
What’s with the delay? Several states, notably California and Washington, have liberal absentee and mail-in voting laws. California, for instance, allows residents to submit ballots up to three days late (although they must be postmarked on or before Election Day). These provisions have madealternative voting pretty popular, (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-love-early-voting-and-it-might-help-clinton/)and the ballots a bit harder to count. California alone has more than 4 million votes pending; (http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/statewide-elections/2016-general/unprocessed-ballots-report.pdf) Washington is waiting on another 700,000. (http://results.vote.wa.gov/results/current/Turnout.html)"http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/clintons-popular-vote-lead-will-grow-and-grow/507455/

I agree it is complex. But Clinton has always been a very poor candidate. I am very surprised that Trump won but would not have been surprised if any other GOP nominee beat her. What I really wish could have happened is the DNC gave Sanders a fair shake. Because he could be President Elect right now.

Until you delve into HIS past and you realize that he has some very, very serious issues. I know, he comes across today as an agitated Papa Smurf, but he has roots in a real socialist past complete with honeymoons to the Soviet Union, Cuba adulation, sympatico with the Sandinistas....

McCain got 60 million votes in 2008.

Romney got 61 million votes in 2012.

Trump will have around 60 million when all said and done this year.

And not once did the Republican nominee get the most votes.

So it wasn't about brexit, or nationalism, or borders, or obamacare, or email.

Have a dose of deeper thinking than you are capable of on your own, leftists.

Running to win an EC is different than running to win a popular vote. I believe that Trump would have won the popular vote if that was what he had to run to do.

Let's just take California, as an example.

Neither Trump nor Hillary campaigned there - for reasons which were obvious.

But what if the vote had been about popular vote? Would hundreds of thousands - millions, perhaps - of Californians voted? Californians who stayed home because they understood that their GOP vote was meaningless? How about in New York?

Do you have enough liberals in Conservative strongholds like Oklahoma to counter this point?

No. No you don't. So here's what you smug leftist piles of dung need to do: shut up.

The only reason that the popular vote was close is due to the dynamic I cite. It is a variable that you failed to even consider. Why? Because you not even close to as intelligent as you purport. You cling to a statistic which is as hollow and false as each of your personas.

The clown had nothing to say about the real reason that the popular vote totals don't mean a damned thing. It's a totally false narrative.

Have a dose of deeper thinking than you are capable of on your own, leftists.

Running to win an EC is different than running to win a popular vote. I believe that Trump would have won the popular vote if that was what he had to run to do.

Let's just take California, as an example.

Neither Trump nor Hillary campaigned there - for reasons which were obvious.

But what if the vote had been about popular vote? Would hundreds of thousands - millions, perhaps - of Californians voted? Californians who stayed home because they understood that their GOP vote was meaningless? How about in New York?

Do you have enough liberals in Conservative strongholds like Oklahoma to counter this point?

No. No you don't. So here's what you smug leftist piles of dung need to do: shut up.

The only reason that the popular vote was close is due to the dynamic I cite. It is a variable that you failed to even consider. Why? Because you not even close to as intelligent as you purport. You cling to a statistic which is as hollow and false as each of your personas.

Now don't allow the doorknob to hit ya where the Lord split ya.

your suppositions about what people would or would not do are just that. the facts remain: more Americans voted for Hillary than voted for Trump. more Americans voted for Gore than voted for Bush.

I think it gives moral authority to Schumer waiting until a popularly elected president comes along to allow SCOTUS nominees to be voted upon. Mitch McConnell said that the PEOPLE'S voice should decide who picked the next justice.... not the state's voice, not the republic's voice, not the electoral college's voice. I would hope that Chuck decides to agree with him.

You stick to your 'facts', hack. The particular 'fact' upon which you're leaning - without needlessly worrying yourself about the underlying dynamics - is not what is being argued.

I wonder how you'd have reacted if someone had asserted that no one would didn't vote as a result of the bias of their own State would have voted if the election was based in the popular vote.

it's as if you think that there is nothing else on the ballot. Voters vote for all sorts of stuff.... congress, senate seats.... mayors, city councilmen, bond issues, referenda, and on and on. I think it is pretty silly to think that a republican who lived in a blue state would abdicate his right to weigh in on a host of other issues that directly impact his state, his city, and his pocketbook. And if he DID go vote, why wouldn't he vote for Trump while he was in the voting booth?

Are you choosing to deny that the same metric which prompts (D) votes in California doesn't also tangibly affect most other races and issues?

Additionally: are you choosing to deny that there exists a suppressive turn-out variable which results in fewer votes for down-ticket candidates as a result of not only the key factor I cite, but - also - the attractiveness of the candidate him/her self?

If you choose to deny, why is it that other liberals were crowing that Trump's unattractiveness was going to result in a possible House/Senate sweep as well?

Even attempting to argue with me on this obviously factual issue seems laughable.

Keep squawking. I've plainly explained the factor that causes it, and you've offered no rebuttal. I've clearly explained that a contest over popular vote is handled differently, and also results in a suppression of the GOP vote in the most populous State in the country.

That should go without saying, but - when being forced to address someone of your clearly limited abilities - it obviously can't.

you have no facts, only opinions. I disagree with them. I think that many fiscally conservative republicans ALWAYS come out and vote on bond issues regardless of what contest tops the ticket. I think that many socially conservative republicans ALWAYS come out to vote for referenda that they strongly support or oppose....but those are only my opinions. I wonder how voter turnout was in California or New York when they were electing their republican governors on the off years? Is there any data that shows that the GOP turnout was significantly higher then than during presidential elections?

This may shock your microaggressed sensibilities, snowflake, but who is correct and who isn't doesn't solely reside in the perview of facts. If all decisions were solely fact-based, there would be no exploration or discovery.

And there certainly wouldn't be any such thing as a liberal.

Your slip is showing. You know why I know you think your own "opinioned" attempt to refute my assertion is full of crap?

Because you didn't even bother to figure out whether or not there were any bond issues or referenda throughout enough of California to move such a needle. And now I'll pile on: leftists tend not to put such issues in a place where it will unnecessarily incentivize to vote a constituency with which they disagree.

So - if your "opinion" has sufficient merit - where are these bond or referenda issue which run Statewide in Cali? And what percent of GOP voters would still not respond to them?
