View Poll Results: Does Clinton's Popular Vote Victory Reduce Trump's Mandate?
YES. Trump's vote count is too low to be a mandate for sweeping change. 70 27.89%
NO. Trump won, and that's reason enough for a mandate for sweeping change. 125 49.80%
DOESN'T MATTER. The mandate concept is too vague to mean anything. 56 22.31%
Voters: 251. You may not vote on this poll

Trump is way over his head and has no idea what he is doing. If he was really serious about bringing jobs to the US, he would have never outsourced his. Sorry, he is not your savior, he won't bring jobs back. He just wants to line his pockets with the billionaires he appointed to his cabinet. You think they care about the middle class and working poor....what a joke. The rich wins, the rest of us are screwed

Obama came with no business background ad has never ran a business!
God's sake he was a 1 term Senator and a Community organizer. Obama did not even serve in the Military. Obama was the least qualified Candidate for the Office of President. But he does have a way to fool you in thinking he will take of you!




Clinton was the most dishonest Candidate and it was the undoing of the DNC that led to your defeat.




Trump on the other hand has managed a worldwide company with stockholders who expect results!


It was Middle America who elected Trump. Not the establishment that was all in for Clinton!

The Trump organization is privately owned. There are no stockholders.

I was curious about this claim, so googled it and found a Heritage article that lists each new 'regulation' that is 'killing business', and on the list, I found this:

Second, using this new-found power, the FCC imposed “network neutrality†requirements for treating all bits of content travelling over transmission networks in exactly the same way. Never mind that cat videos and digital 911 calls ought to be treated differently; forced neutrality has been pushed relentlessly by Internet firms that see benefits in constraining their rivals, and well as activists with a fundamental distrust of markets. As a result of these new rules, not only will investment and growth in the Internet be chilled, but innovation itself will be hindered, as firms find themselves compelled to ask permission from the FCC prior to making service changes. Red Tape Rising 2016: Obama Regs Top $100 Billion Annually

Well...that horrible regulation prevented internet providers from throttling content unless we pay extra to experience it at a faster speed...so Comcast which owns NBC might allow you to watch NBC news on your mobile device but throttle the speed to make content unviewable should you want to watch Fox or PBS

Other onerous regulations listed in the article include food safety, energy standards for air conditioners, and ozone standards. I'm sorry but I do not understand how any of that is causing industry to flee, I think it's made up $hit. Businesses leave the US primarily because of labor costs.

Default WOW Hillary now extends popular vote lead to 2.8 mil! Shame on Donald for refusing to concede!

Donald Trump has lost popular vote by greater margin than any US President | The Independent

I just can't believe that she got MILLIONS and MILLIONS more votes and still didn't get the presidency!!
Ohh I know Trumpsters will say it's because of illegals... but making such serious accusations about integrity of elections and our democracy without proof is really ridiculous!

Yesterday someone did the breakdown of these 2.8 mil more votes.......California and couple of other states?? Actually no...drum roll......basically only a handful of counties in the entire country (1.9 mil votes in Los Angeles county alone)...thank God for the EC system.....

Maybe the Democratic party will learn to manage to become relevant on more than few cities.....

Daywalk, get your valium daily dose and repeat with me...The EC system is not going to change, The EC system is not going to change, The EC system is not going to change.....
