Not sure where you pulled "in the world" out of, but she most certainly did win the most votes in the U.S. As I recall, she received close to 3 million more votes than Trump.

You need to track down more accurate sources of information.

Just saying'.

No she didn't, not the votes that counted. If Hillary Clinton was running to win the popular vote that's her problem, she lost the electoral college which is what matters.

Can anyone explain why states issue DL to illegals? I guess it's the mentality "there are already here, so we might as well let them drive legally with insurance". Also, I bet they allow it because they make $$$.

This is just my opinion, but I think anyone caught trying to obtain a DL who is not here legally should be arrested on the spot.

Exactly.

Donald Trump was soundly rejected by voters and his positions are dangerous and anti-thetical to American values.

Which is why I applaud our state for taking such a forceful stand against his rhetoric.

This is different btw. The vast majority of Californians support amnesty and/or a path to legal status, we support that quite vociferously and make no apologies for it.

I dont think Donald Trump fully realizes that his attempts to fulfill that campaign promise will be thwarted by California.
Trump proved that there is a fairly easy path to victory while completely ignoring the sea of idiots in California.

And if Trump wants illegal immigrants out of California, he will get them out. This is not a State issue, these are Federal Fugitives. If you want Federal Troops in your State, then by all means try to thwart his efforts.

Yes, go after mindless morons in the rust belt/ appalachia instead.

He can certainly try.

But he will fail. Miserably.

That's exactly what you said about him running for President, you were wrong about that just like the rest of the pathetic crap you've been trolling with here over the last couple days.

We know you're getting desperate and it's quite enjoyable.

This is accurate. Your earlier statements were not.

Clinton was not running to win the popular vote. She was running to win. She did not win the EC, as you and others point out constantly.

The hard work of governing will soon begin in earnest. Trump will face some challenges. He will be making some difficult, and likely unpopular decisions.

Let's touch base in a year and see how things turn out, shall we?

If he was "soundly rejected," how did he win? (Yes, he did win the election.)

That plainly isn't what the constitution says.

Man the absolute need for a civics class on this forum is desperately needed.
