The Democrats didn't have the majority either because the majority of the voting age in this country didn't vote. In addition, the GOP gained the majority in both the Senate, House and State Governorships--the Dems have no say whatsoever. The people have spoken, and what they don't want is a Democrat controlled Presidency, Congress or at the State level.
Any lack of cooperation on behalf of the Democrats is to their own detriment. If you want to go against the majority, while the majority rules, you're only likely to dig yourself a deeper grave. Meanwhile, the GOP will simply pass their own bills; nominate and approve their own Federal and Supreme Court judges; and make the necessary cuts and improvements where they see fit. The onus isn't the GOP to cater to the Democrats at this time.
Dream on. It's really not that simple. We don't have a parliamentary system. GOP members have local pressures and politics to consider not to mention there is a vast divide within the GOP itself. The GOP is not close to being united on important things like taxation, immigration reform, and foreign policy to name a few. The daggers will come out in short order. Then there is the filibuster.
For the people on the autism spectrum (and that includes the news media) who take everything literally, Donald Trump frequently uses hyperbole to make a point. So, for example, if Trump says he saw millions of people with red umbrellas on the streets of San Francisco, he means "a lot" not that you should hope to count at least 2 million people in the rain with red umbrellas in that California city.
Your suitcase doesn't actually weigh a ton, your grandmother isn't as old as the hills and you aren't actually dying of shame.
He uses hyperbole frequently so before you all get buggy and say he makes outrageous claims or he's a liar, think just maybe you missed that day in English class when literary devices were being discussed.
"Hyperbole, derived from a Greek word meaning “over-casting” is a figure of speech, which involves an exaggeration of ideas for the sake of emphasis. It is a device that we employ in our day-to-day speech. For instance, when you meet a friend after a long time, you say, “Ages have passed since I last saw you”. You may not have met him for three or four hours or a day, but the use of the word “ages” exaggerates this statement to add emphasis to your wait. Therefore, a hyperbole is an unreal exaggeration to emphasize the real situation." Hyperbole - Examples and Definition of Hyperbole
Nice try at normalizing him, but the fact remains that he is going to be President, and even if we disagree with his policies, we should not have to speculate about whether everything he says is the truth or hyperbole. That is just nuts...

There is also the Harry Reid creation called the "Nuclear Option." What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I hope the data scientists who called for this recount are able to examine the equipment like they want to (and look for malware). I also hope they get a chance to try and match the stolen voter data from other states with the voters in the states that are being recounted.
If our voting system was infiltrated, that would be incredible to find out. I wonder what the government would do then? Have a revote?
I think her effort has officially become dead in the water.
Can we confirm that?
From what I've heard she missed the deadline for PA so even if a "miracle" happened WI and MI wouldn't give Hillary enough electoral votes to overturn the election.
