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.
It's all they have. They honestly don't seem to realize how stupid it makes them. Since that kind of stupid can't be fixed, it's easier to just ignore them.

We've been watching righties have their childish hissy fits for the last 8 years.lets now see how Dems handle the role of opposition under a Republican run country.
In 4 years the people will give their answer to Mr Trump.

Take away California and its millions of illegal votes and Trump won the popular vote AND the electoral college.

Come on, Dems; grow up and join the rebuilding of the USA as the celebrity "president" fades from view. Obama never was more than a celebrity. Certainly he failed at leadership.

The better question is why are we even acknowledging their idiotic rantings?

This is like losing a boxing match by decision. The fight isn't decided by how HARD you hit. It's decided by other, more complicated factors. In the case of the election, all candidates knew the rules when they decided to run, and they won or lost by those rules. Get over it.

Pure and complete nonsense.


Dems? So the 73% of Americans that did not vote trump should now just fall in line? Like the Cons did for the last 8 years, me thinks that is NOT going to happen. The only way to win over Americans is to produce, in other words stop talking and start doing. Do right and you will remain in power, do wrong and this special moment is going to a quick end, don't mess it up.

Why does it make them look stupid? If Trump won the electoral and the popular vote then good for him because it means all our votes matter. But when a president wins the electoral vote and not the popular vote then it means the people's votes didn't matter. Do you get it now.

Awww, you knew the answer to your question before ya asked it, didn't ya? They still claim a mandate no matter what else the facts prove, some hear what they want to hear, the next couple of years are going to be wild.
