Compare the World Series to the election...best of 7
Game 1 Clinton wins 10 -0
Game 2 Clinton wins 10-0
Game 3 Clinton wins 10-0
Game 4 Trump wins 1-0
Game 5 Trump wins 1-0
Game 6 Trump wins 1-0
Game 7 Trump wins 1-0
Trump wins the World Series 4 games to 3...
Total points scored Clinton 30, Trump 4...but he still wins. Get over it. It won't change the senate and small states won't allow it
"Yes, Mr. Trump won under the rules, but the rules should change so that a presidential election reflects the will of Americans and promotes a more participatory democracy," - New York Times editorial board.
This argument is the some nonsense that a person losing a close sports game would use. You know the rules are the rules so play by these rules and lose by them.
Is it? Are they arguing that THIS election should change or the rules for future elections should change. Because those are two very different situations. I saw nothing in this article that was really advocating that Hillary should instead be president in this election.
No they've been working hard to stop Obama's crazy leftist nonsense
By not passing Budgets? Me thinks some are not seeing the entire picture, but hey the Repubs have it all now, oh except for excuses, no more blaming the other guy, it is time to put up or shut up. Everyone will be watching.
Hillary Lovers did have Stein causing a big stir and a lot of hope.... What ever happened to theNEWLY RICHcrooked Stein?
As Herman Munster said, "I demand a recount! This election was fixed!" I guess she thought she would play that game...

We just got rewarded for stopping Obams by getting the presidency, House, and senate

This is actually a fairly good metaphor. What I find bothersome is that Trump keeps calling his victory a "landslide" - and, even worse, that a lot of people seem to believe him when he uses this terminology. He squeaked out a victory because liberals fell into a fit of in-fighting. I think Trump didn't "win it" so much as liberals "lost it" due to infighting and overconfidence. All the liberals had to do was turn out and vote for the leading liberal candidate, and they failed. So many liberals either stayed home, or voted for a 3rd party, that even an absurd character like Trump could beat them.
What else do they have left except sour, bitter, grapes? They lost the election, don't have the House, don't have the Senate, don't have most governors, don't have most state legislatures and see little hope in any of that changing anytime soon.
If Trump had won the popular and lost the EC they would argue the opposite. They have zero integrity.
Of course republicans wouldn't have cried like little school girls, so it might not have even been an issue.
Actually if Trump would have won the popular vote and lost the electoral college, Trump and his supporters would be saying the election is rigged and that the electoral college is a joke. But honestly, I have never had anyone tell me a good reason to keep it since it makes no sense not to just go off of a one vote per person and everyone's vote counts rather than the system we currently use only to elect a president.
