"WE" elected the EC to elect him. Stop saying "well Hillary won the popular vote". Winning the popular vote while losing the EC is like winning the Special Olympics. In the end...you're still a r*tard.

Did I insult you? No, so why are you insulting me because you don't agree.

Some principles. Sound familiar? Let's make Cincinnati great again.

I say you go guy! Do what makes you happy; wear your confererate flag around your neck and call yourself a dumb American!

But you need to apologize to all minorities and all immigrants! Especially African Americans.
What a bunch of BS... this is a great example of why he won.

Again tell us why he should apologize to all immigrants and to African Americans?

Yes, it is true. "We", through our representatives in the electoral college, elected the 45th president using the same method we've been using to elect presidents for 200+ years. Don't like it, change it.

Because you're talking nonsense. You keep clinging to this notion that since Trump didn't win the popular vote, it makes his victory somehow less than. Like it's some kind of flaw in the system or something, when in fact the system was never designed to attribute any importance to the popular vote in the first place. The system was designed specifically so that bigger states didn't have a stranglehold on federal politics, and smaller states retained a voice.


It would be like, if my team made it to the Super Bowl and lost, and my friends team won, and I kept saying "yeah, well, you're tram might have won but mine got more running yards all season, so..."


Yeah, and?

Trump picks a fight with a civil rights icon on MLK day. Out and out racism!
Seems John Lewis attacked President-elect first. Sounds like John is the out and out racist. By the way the tweets he posted were posted over the weekend and not on MLK. The president-elect was busy today meeting with MLK lll.

Toby Keith? Really? The man's career is almost over. When did you last hear a Toby Keith Song? They are scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm surprised they didn't get Hank Williams Jr. He's a big Republican...
