I am not the only one who voted for Hillary. She won the popular vote and 2.9 Million voters more voted for her rather than Trump. He was awarded the Presidency because he won the Electoral College vote, but
in both of the races he ran he never was able to win the actual popular vote.

More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.
The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

And that's a very big catch for while they may know their way about politics, are they doing it for the benefit of the country......or just for the benefit of them and those on their side?

Well, she did rather demonstrate the need for the Electoral College in that the country's leadership should not be decided by just a few large cities.


Which, in a way, has a hypocritic demonstration of our current times. The Electoral College is a demonstration that everyone has to be reached or at least so many of the country's people, not just a few. For those who say we should get rid of it, are they also the kind that support our current culture of letting everyone play and shine in the light and not just the stars, such as the "quarterbacks" we now see in the swimsuit issues? Just an observation.

Joe, Bernie, and Hillary are too old.


We need some youthful AOC energy to enliven this nation, plus she's got some cool dance moves...

Yeah runs around the constitution.

On the other hand some justices write opinions citing people from the 1600s, you know before the constitution, to overturn precedent.

For President:
1976- I voted for Ford
1980- I vote for Ronald Reagan
1984 -I voted for Reagan again
1988-- Bush
1992-- Ross Perot
1996- Bob Dole
2000- George W Bush
2004- George W Bush
2008- Was Sick -Missed the election (had planned on voting for McCain)
2012- Obama
2016 Hillary(I left the GOP for the first time this year, changed party to Democrat
because I didn't like Hillary and wanted to vote against her in the Primary since it was obvious Trump
was going to get the GOP nomination)(I couldn't stand Hillary...but couldn't stand Trump more so I ended up holding my nose and voting for her.)
2020 Biden ( I would have voted for a rock before I voted for Trump).

^I didn't vote for a Democratic President until 2012....but event though I was Republican I voted for Democratic candidates more than once....I vote for the person who I think will do the best job, not for a party.
My first seven elections for President I voted 6 times for a Republican and once for an
Independent...last three times for a Democratic President.

I am an Independent now. I could vote for a Republican now, but I will not vote for an election denier, and one of the candidates pushing the big lie. If Trump runs in 2024 I will be voting Democratic again, no matter who the candidate is. Trump is like a wrecking ball who has nearly destroyed the Republican Party.
Very similar history, except I voted for Clinton in 1996 and Obama in 2008. I would have voted for McCain until he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, and I wrote in Bernie Sanders in 2016 because I could not stand either Hillary or Trump, and the others were meh. I expected Hillary to win.
