The bottom line is that partisan Democrats believed the bulls#it that the "blue wall" would guarantee them the presidency for all time to come. They couldn't possibly foresee that they would lose MI, PA, & WI, and so they never complained about the Electoral College prior to Election Day.
I've personally had enough whining from the far-left about the Electoral College to last me a lifetime. Back in 2012, when Democrats thought they had a huge advantage in the Electoral College, left-wing websites published articles such as this:
And will the left please quit pretending that they actually believe that the person who receives the most votes should win. (The only reason why liberals believe that the popular vote winner in 2016 should be president is because their candidate won the popular vote.) As has been pointed out on this forum, Clinton received more votes than Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries, yet the far-left was perfectly fine with their beloved Obama getting the nomination. Furthermore, left-wing loons repeatedly tried to deny the legitimacy of Bush's victory in 2004, despite the fact that he received 3 million more votes than Kerry. (If you recall, partisan Democrats claimed that "racist" Republicans stole the election in Ohio, which was a state that Bush won by 118,601 votes. Had some 60,000 votes shifted and Kerry won Ohio, he would have been the winner despite losing the popular vote.)
Liberals decide what they want first, and then make up a "principle" to support it.
Trump won with a lower percentage of the popular vote (currently 46.1% and falling) than any of his predecessors with the exception of Bill Clinton in 1992 (43.01%) and John Quincy Adams in 1824 (31.92%), both of whom had significant third party opposition, which Trump did not.
That fact and $5 will get you a nice latte at Starbucks.
But Trump for months ran on"crooked hilarity". Trump said out of his own mouth that if elected president that her crimes were so egregious that she'd be in jail.
He wins and then during his first televised interview says I don't care about it.
So that means either he was lying about Hilary's crimes or he is willing to let corruption stand.
On immigration he is no longer saying all 11 million. He is saying only criminals will be deported which is the exact same stance as President Obama. Speaker Ryan says there will be no mass deportations.
And Trump has already shown you directly that just because he said something with conviction during his campaign that doesn't mean he even cares about it.
Sanctuary cities what's he going to do?
To punish a whole city would take tremendous resources and be an extremely divisive fight.
How's he going to keep muslims out without discriminating against Muslims?
But these issues are not important to me directly.
If more Mexican immigrants get deported and allowed entry or fewer muslims or no muslims are allowed to come in, it'll prove trump's campaign and his very narrow victory were all about being against certain ethnic and religious groups because a lot of Americans blame these people and believe their removal and elimination will be a good thing.
I'll be very sad as to what those things mean for all Americans who are not the right ethnicity/racial/religion.
You're used to the corrupt Obama, who tells his attorney general what to do.
That's not the proper role for a president. The attorney general is supposed to be independent.
Just because Trump is being gracious doesn't mean that Hillary, Bill, Obama, Loretta and Eric aren't going to be prosecuted for their many crimes.
Trump stopped saying there would be mass deportations long before he was elected. His supporters still voted for him.
They will expect him to deport illegal aliens who commit crimes, finish the border fencing already approved by Congress, take action against sanctuary cities, and take other steps to enforce the law that now exists.
That law says that illegals are to be deported.
Foreigners -- including Muslims -- do not have a right to come to this country.
Trump will keep them out.
If Mexicans want to be liked by Americans, they shouldn't come here illegally.
If Muslims want to be liked and admitted here, they shouldn't commit terrorist acts.
To the OP.
If you really believe Trump is unpopular, check the amount of folks showing up at his "thank you" rallies.
Just as many that showed up at his primary rallies.
Like all liberals that lost the election, you have blinders on, and don't want to witness the truth.
Bob.
His victory rally last night was attended by
7000 people, that's all. wow what a number of fans!
I for one do not have blinders on when it comes to
Trump's ability to lie and deceive .
and again...its this narrative, name calling and labelling that got Trump elected.
Labelling people calling them stupid will not convince anyone to see your point of view.
