It's not working.

you are right, the DNC is going down in flames. They are the weakest they have been in 100 years. And yet, they are too stupid to realize it.

If Trump manages to not start nuclear Armageddon, Democrats will eventually retake power. Demographics are on their side, and even if they weren't, the country always goes back and forth at the top. After this experience with an all-Republican government, the people may be reluctant to try that again for some time.

I always appreciate when Trumpeter post stuff like this b/c it simply highlights to the adults in theorem on both sides that they have little clue of what they speak...although that never stops them from forming absolute opinions....

Context is key. Context gives meaning to expressed thought. Lifting a thought from context and using it elsewhere, for your own purpose, changes it from the meaning of the original thought to your own.

FOR EXAMPLE:

SEE HOW THAT WORKS? Or does this fit your original meaning without any qualification/clarification?


I was responding to the specific intimations of personal knowledge and personal feeling by the poster about how Hillary thinks or feels about specific things and about the "classy" suggestion ( HEAVY SARCASM HERE) as to what she should do. I.e.

No mention was made, "within the context" of the post to which I was responding, to Osama Bin Laden nor to Charles Manson. And there's no equivalency, for me, in what I was saying, to your examples. IF you would like to create some kind of equivalency between the post or those heinous types and Hillary, I'll leave it to you to identify and justify exactly why you feel that way. Or more likely, just toss out aspersions, insinuations, distortions, lies, disinformation, rumors, suspicions and smears. The general smorgasbord of non-specifics usually thrown at Hillary by those who have chosen not to like her for whatever reason. Sounds like you have an answer in mind for your query, so, have at it.

The Hillary/Obama diversion always gives Trumpers a nice break from having to deal with the outrageous and despicable behaviors of their chosen one.

Talk is cheap. In point of fact, with some sources, so cheap it's just completely worthless.

The great thing is, if people are allowed to flap their lips or tap their keyboards long enough, the tables turn.
False, inflated pride goeth before the fall. Almost makes it worth the wait. Not quite, but almost.

Flukes happen. Flukes get rectified. Until then, fluke on.

Exactly! We would have been more at peace, there would have already been steps toward positive change and would not have been suffering with or spending time discussing HIM.

I don't like the split outcome. I think it is not good for the country when we have someone voted into office who does not hold the majority of votes of all citizens.

Your "By the way" is absolutely correct. Because we used the Electoral College method in the 2016 election, we don't know whether Hillary Clinton would have still won by popular vote. If majority vote only led to a victory for a candidate, BOTH PARTIES, in fact ALL PARTIES, could and would have strategized differently. That might have led to a Trump victory or a Clinton victory.

Because I am a hopeful person who believes that Hillary Clinton is the far better leader to hold the office of the Presidency, I hope she would have still won by popular vote. Her temperament is better for the job and she is significantly smarter than dumb Trump and she is widely respected around the world for all her abilities and accomplishments. In addition to his being a narcissist, I believe Trump has dementia.

You are correct that I didn't like the outcome, but it's not because a Republican won, rather that the single worst person to ever hold the office of President, a real criminal who thinks he is above everyone else, is there with the nuclear codes. Trump is a racist buffoon who only seeks adoration. That's why he likes campaign mode and hates actually working.

There were some decent Republican candidates, but Trump's wealthy Russian and other ties, his money, his talking out of both sides of his mouth, his angry thumbing his nose at the system, appealed to those too stupid to understand the danger of the man.

He'll be gone soon, but I am no longer comforted by Pence being there in the background to take over, because Pence did not stand up to Trump after Charlotteseville. I wish that Trump had selected someone else as Veep, because it is highly likely that Trump will not finish his first term and we'll probably have to accept Pence as President.

Back to my main issue: I think changing the method by which we choose the President, i.e. popular vote versus electoral college, is an essential step for us to take to ensure that the person who wins is chosen by "one person, one vote".

Trump and George W. Bush didn't start off well in large part because their opposing candidate beat them by popular vote, so there was no clear majority and people were rightfully angry.

So we need to change the system before 2020. Then whoever wins, wins.

Trump will be gone, in 7.5 years
