Nationally Hillary won the popular vote by around 3 million over Trump.
Hillary Clinton did not get 270 electoral votes because she did not win Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin (states that gave Obama victory in 2008 and 2012).

Leftists say "There are no illegals voting in the election". But they seem to think Russia hacked the election and put Trump in the White House. It's been a year since the election was over and no one is able to find the Russian hacker. But CNN could find a user on Reddit who posted a meme of Trump body slamming a CNN reporter.
The anti-Trump vote in 2018 will be huge and the Dems will most likely take over the House.
Let's take a stroll down through memory lane....
"Trump will not win the Republican nomination"- Beats all the other Republicans who ran.
"Trump will not win the election"- Trump gets 306 electoral votes and Hillary Clinton gets 232.
"The electors will overthrow Trump in favor of Hillary"- Two faithless electors voted against Trump and Five voted against Hillary.
"The stock market will crash if Trump wins"- One year after the election, the stock market is at a record high and unemployment is at a record low.
"Antifa will start a revolution to overthrow Trump". They set a date for their so-called revolution but there wasn't an attempt/
"Trump will be impeached"- Impeached for what, because you don't like him and resort to childish name-calling to attack him?
[quote=KonaldDuth;50497026]Listened to a funny interview with Chuck "Fake Tears" Schumer from during the 2016 general election. He stated the Dems game plan quite honestly.
Schumer should concentrate on keeping residents in his own state. We've been losing residents for years. From the newspaper articles I've googled - we are no 1 in the census for losing residents from other states not only this year but all the way back to 2006.
We flee the cold - but we also flee the taxes, gun laws, and political wackos.
The Democrats have given up on working people. Instead they are catering to welfare trash and the spoiled elite. The people they ignore the most are those that work every day and earn a living. The Democrats of today are hardly the Democrats of 50 years ago.
uh uhh and Republicans care for the poor and middle class how? By giving tax cuts away to the wealthy?

the poster was responding to another poster who lied and said trump won't the popular vote.

Many of those employers are being forced to charge employees for part of their insurance-in a large part due to the burden of the Obamacare disaster and it's increase of premiums.
I'm sure there are a lot things you don't know, and very few private companies provide insurance and the Insurance they do provide is expensive crap

Actually every single private company I have worked at for the last 40 years HAS provided health insurance. And it has been quite good. Until recently it has been free to me. Now, due to Obamacare, rates have increased to the point that I have to pay about $100 a month. Hopefully the GOP can kill OC and we can see some sanity on premiums.
"Progressive" means we want our country progress into a viable future. That's the natural evolutionary path of any living organism. Progress is essential to survival.
You guys, on the other hand, wish to take us back to a time when the country was under the authority of a plutocracy and unrestricted capitalism.
Unions care about the middle class. Again, republicans hate unions because you guys care more about the rich.
That is total BS. The unions have driven all the working class jobs out of blue union run states. Working class jobs are now found in right to work states.
Unions care about the middle class. Again, republicans hate unions because you guys care more about the rich.
You need to get up to speed -- the party of the rich is NOW the democrat party -- Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros, Clinton's, the NFL and most sports players, the music industry, the wealthy educational industry, wealthy union bosses, etc etc etc
Try reading information outside the liberal talking points.
Trump won on helping the working poor and middle class, on giving minorities school choice to up their education equality. What have unions done lately for working poor or jobless???
