No, I know the numbers. I read in interesting article by one of the polling people and they said they had Clinton with a 2-3% lead in popular vote going into the election and they considered that to be a statistical deficit in the actual election because there are easily that many people extra who are guaranteed to vote democrat between New York and California. In other words, yes Clinton won by 2.8 million votes but all of those votes were in two states that always vote democrat. In other words, those 2.8 million votes amount to nothing more than padding the victory for those states. The funny thing is I remember watching the reports coming in on the 2000 election. Around 11pm it looked like Gore had won Florida and the electoral college but Bush had won the popular vote. I was watching CNN and their talking heads were all gushing about what geniuses the Founding Fathers were for giving us the EC and how great it was that our system was not one of mob rule. I went to bed thinking the Ozone Man had won. Then the final numbers on Florida and some other states came in overnight and it flipped. GWB had the EC and Gore had the popular vote. The exact same talking heads who were praising the EC and the founding fathers were now talking about how GWB would be seen as an illegitimate President since he had not won the plurality of the votes and they were claiming that the EC was a flawed antiquated system. I think that was the last time I ever watched CNN without knowing I had to fact check every single word that left the mouths of their people. Edited by Demagogue, Dec 19 2016, 04:51 PM.

What side of the aisle is that? I responded to you intentionally missing or ignoring the point. Dont let that get you to pull your head out of your ass tho. It suits you to leave it there. Go away troll. I responded to your post so obviously it was directed at you. Keep proving how big of a moron you are by playing dumb and insulting people.

Republicans as the party in power are getting for the first time a taste of the treatment they gave Democrats during the Obama years. Ceaseless resistance at every turn may be the tactic to win back some of the Reagan Democrats who deserted the party in search of more macho leadership. A number of Trump's appointees needing congressional confirmation may face embarrassing hearings and filibustered votes. Whatever one thinks of Trumps plans for the economy, he surely isn't going to leap to 4% GDP growth in his first year. This will be an opportunity for the Democrats to grasp the fake news technique and denounce him as weak and a failure. The DNC has been held back because folks like Al Gore and even Bernie Sanders have had the tendency to bring library books to a knife fight. Backed by an angry and disgusted younger base, the Democratic leadership may be willing to revert to its more pugnacious roots. The days of bashing Obama and the Establishment are over. Trump and his clique now are the establishment. Can they deliver before their grumpy and suspicious base becomes convinced they have once again been betrayed by RINOs? |

and the point again zooms past you... and the other idiot...so who are you to tell a business who to serve? That's the point here - you want to tell a bakery who they are required to serve, we are simply laughing at a guy who's willfully cutting off 60% of his market, no one cares whether he does it or not, there are other propane suppliers who will gladly take his business just as I'm sure there are other bakers who will bake a cake for the couple in question. Why is this so difficult for you? Are you unable to see your own hypocrisy? Acceptance Is the first step. |
