We're a Republic of PEOPLE, goober. States are boundaries invented by PEOPLE. And sadly, yes that means that we have to even acknowledge the existence of those people less evolved who drag down the rest of us. You know, people who think red baseball caps made in China are American. Who think it's okay to tell hate groups to "Stand down and Stand By". Who describe Neo-Nazis as "very fine people". People who cry "Partiotism" but hate half the country.
So yes, even though those PEOPLE are loathsome and reprehensible, they are Americans and their vote counts. ALL votes count.
Very gracious of you to allow our votes to count. For now. But if you wonder why a good half of the nation hates you and is desperate to vote against you, re-read the way you described us.
In a federal republic such as ours, it's far more fair that 55 percent of the voters in all but one state should choose the winner, instead of the voters from one single state overwhelming the rest of the country. Herein lies the genius of the Electoral College system, for a federal republic such as ours.

Exactly my point. Hillary won California... and Trump won a EC landslide AND the popular vote by 1,000,000 in the other 49 states and that's including his 1.7M popular vote LOSS of New York (city).

You do know the popular vote is for ALL the states, right? California counts.
And yes, the electoral college again comes in to subvert the will of the American People and this time allows a game show host with more failed businesses than successful ones to run the country. But hey, he did show America is not the enlightened people that we all thought we were and he definitely proved that the mod-west and deep south earned the reputations they have.
More of the self-righteous arrogance that shows that demonstrates how many on the left lack true intelligence.
You lost under the rules. So you want to change the rules. Only pathetic losers try to do that. And only idiots campaign in California and don't campaign in Wisconsin.
No... Trump won the popular vote in 49 states by 1,000,000 votes... won an electoral college landslide in those 49 states by an EV of 304-172...
... and Hillary won California.

That might be one of the most nonsensical things I have ever read on this forum.
Basically, you are saying "trump got the most votes if you don't count all the people who voted for the other person."
And it was 232 to 306 in favor of Trump, not 172-304. I would not call that a landslide with how the electoral college works, but that is here nor there.

Actually it was 304-227. Democrats tried to get electors to violate their committments and more refused to vote for Hillary than refused to vote for DJT.

Obviously reading comprehension isn't your strong suit... a common problem for the leftists?
I said Trump won 49 states by an EC landslide of 304-172 and Hillary won CA.
172 + 55 for CA = 227. The 304-227 total I'm talking about is the result after all the "faithless" elector nonsense as shown on the Wikipedia election results page.

But you're voting for Bideness Pervertus? The man who will sell us out to China? The man who will welcome illegal immigrants with open arms?
Really?
The man who actually knows how the government operates, and how to run a country. He had a lot of OJT as VP, and is the man responsible from keeping us from sinking into a Bush Depression.

The ratings, while not as high as the 2016 debate, were still impressive. The ratings also don't include those who watched it via streaming on websites like Facebook.
This debate ranks third all time in ratings behind the 2016 Trump/Clinton and 1980 Reagan/Carter debates.
I want you to understand our Mother's,sisters, aunts, daughters gained more from AFFIRMATIVE ACTION over the women of colour.
Perhaps you're not fully versed on affirmative action nor the true nature of the numbers (percentages).
Lastly our nation congested Universities with students unworthy of their seats, yet namesake, donations, freindships,kinships, and full-fledged lies afford them entrance and education.
Moreover- corporate workforce is saturated with European American men/women(affirmative action hires) holding positions due to networking oppose to Merit. Positions often beyound their intellectual properties. Certainly common belief one must "network" for this very reason.
Certainly I'm not a proponent of Harris albeit- attempting to defame her with affirmative action is comical or sex for quid pro quo as if she's was the only one in the room or person in history utilizing their appendages as springboards; no pun intended.
She is the only one running for the VP of the USA. Points taken.
