The states - through the electoral college - elect the president and vice president and Trump/pence won the majority of states' electoral votes. It's a fact not matter how you try to spin it.

He also won the vast, vast majority of state voting precincts and counties.
And lost the vote by 3 million.

Agreed, the biggest BS factor of the idiots wanting to secede is the morons were declaring it illegal not long ago when Montana and Texas were talking about it. Now they change their mind? Hey, I don't mind people who have a certain belief, even if it is directly counter to mine as long as they stick to it, but these lying pieces of filth and their hypocritical ways, they disgust me, they are not even honorable enemies, they are despicable trash that deserve no quarter.

Yeah, so... I guess I don't like them too much. /shrug

What did that get you?
I don't even think that came with a participation trophy.
You may want to check into that to see if yours is lost in the mail.

Trump in the WH.

He was right when he was whining about "a rigged system."

But he hasn't cried about it for the past two months.

It's the Trumplings who are participating in the glory of his big victory.

I anticipate a very entertaining Trump term.

It's like he's a bowler and the whole alley is set up for him to roll a strike. He's got both houses of congress and soon the supreme court on his side.

He better not throw a gutterball.

The whole world is watching.

Is he a choker?

Remember what happened in 1861.

Could we see Reconstruction of the Blue States, with Federal replacement of their state legislatures and governors, because they refuse to abide by the US Constitution.
I thought only children get this giddy.

That might be the weirdest twist I have ever seen anyone do with American History....no, Trump is no where near as smart as Lincoln, nor are we in the same situation as what Lincoln was dealing with at the time, to even suggest that is laughable....

So if nothing else, thank you for the laugh. It made my day.

Just for openers, we don't know whether (or how) part of that three million might be illegal aliens, registered by the Democratic machine under questionable circumstances.

And at any rate, the electoral vote (which was challenged, examined, and confirmed) is what matters here.

Repeat as necessary:

Clinton lost through her own mistakes ...

Clinton lost through her own mistakes ...

Clinton lost through her own mistakes ...

Sort of like we just don't know whether there actually is a video of Donald Trump's "party" in Moscow.

See how that works?

Why do you guys have to resort to making excuses with no proof, there was not 3+ million illegals voting in that election, there wasn't even a million illegals voting in that election, therefore Clinton did in fact win the popular vote. This is just a fact, regardless if you are willing to admit that to yourself or not.

Yes, Trump won the electoral college by a handful of votes in key states, that is where Clinton lost through her own mistake.

These two points are points that we should all be on the same page about because they are both factual information.
