Anyone who runs for office must look at their electoral college map and form a strategy about winning it. Podesta and the DNC over-estimated Hillary's electoral map. Plain and simple. Now let's move on away from this.

The Democrats failed strategically and politically, this will be written and studied in the history books for many generations entitled. The Failures of the Over-Confident Democrats.
I generally agree with what you're saying here, but I DO think that Putin's Russia has something to do with this election's outcome. I believe they are better strategists than the Trump camp was.

And the Clinton camp, for that matter.

The only reason people should be bringing up the popular vote totals is to ask questions about the usefulness of the electoral college in truly representing the people as we are divided now among the states in the union.

There may be an overhaul needed, because there are nearly 3 million people who may have been inadequately represented by the outcome of this election.

We do not normally have EC and popular vote differences so huge. I was annoyed when people brought up the Bush/Gore EC difference back in 2000 because it was only half a million voters or so. That's a much smaller number than 3 million.

Were the Democrats overconfident this time? Yep.

Were the Republicans sure that they'd get a real politician instead of Trump? Yep.

I don't think Trump himself made this happen alone. He's really not that smart. I know I'll be told that I just don't like him, but he really is not that smart. He had help. How much he knew about that help is the real issue here. Not sure we'll ever know the truth about that, though.

Not really. Most of them are liberals and most people know this and don't care.

Except right now.

Even *if* that's true - that makes what he did OK?

You are still missing the point. It is just plain wrong and mean to make fun of people with disabilities or to even portray someone as having serious disabilities in a mean way, even if they are not disabled.

Why is that so hard for some people to understand that? Could it possibly be because they have below-average intelligence, were they just not taught any better, do they lack simple kindness and compassion, or what?

She could have refused to do that. Especially considering that he had a house just a few blocks away. If she thought she was being invited to that hotel room to share her insights on government operations. He didn't touch her. She refused his advances, and she suffered NO damages. That's not in question, since the courts declared she suffered NO damages. So, yeah, I'm really claiming that a man propositioning a woman who's come to his hotel room late at night isn't sexual harassment.
Ok, so if a male boss asks a female employee to come to his hotel room, she is consenting to him exposing his genitals to her, in your opinion, if she goes to his room.

I just wanted to make sure I understood you correct.

Hold up... so, what does this have to do with people agreeing on an aspect of a speech given at the Golden Globes?

The First Amendment is still intact, no?

OF COURSE!

Everyone knows that when your boss asks you to come to their hotel room there can be no mistaking you are going to see some genitalia. Who doesn't know that?
