still trying to put words in my mouth are you? and you fail at it so nicely. no californians are not less american than other voters, however, california is just one state. and with the size of its population being what it is, there is greater margin for liberals to win there.

in the end however cali is just 55 electoral votes, so even if everyone in cali voted for one candidate that candidate still only gets 55 electoral votes.

it also indicates that the overall popular vote means exactly nothing in the presidential election.

States are individual countries joined in a union. Do you think the Austrians get to vote in elections in Germany? They are the same people????

Looking at the faux protests and media anti-Trump news... Obama got a clean getaway... no comparison, not even close...

States are not independent​ countries for one, and two, this country is NOT a confederation like the EU. There are more differences between Austrians and Germans than there are between Americans in different states

States can leave the union whenever they want. The States existed BEFORE the Federal government.

The irony in your screen name makes me laugh every time. Thanks!

Yours and "knowledgeiskey" are hilarious.

13 states existed before the federal government. The other 37 did not and states CANNOT leave whenever they want. Neo-Confederates you lost the Civil War, GET THE HELL OVER IT

It's because his razor thin margins of wins, in states such as Wisconsin, will not look as weak as they are.

This guy has lost support since the inauguration, not gained any.
