    So, they had the nod from the majority of the nation and not just a few heavily populated states Cali and NY. Hell it's no great feat to capture the popular vote on the liberal side because they infect the greater populated states! Now capturing the Electoral by winning essentially THIRTY rural, sparsely populated states is a quite the accomplishment in it's own right. And even more amazing is when you count county wins, now there is where the real liberal spanking took place :icon_jawdrop:

    Amazing how the electoral college is only a problem when Democrats lose elections.

    "Make America Great Again" is synonymous with "Restore White Power" in America that has been advocated by the KKK and other White Nationalist/White (Male) Supremacy groups for decades.

    Donald Trump is fulfilling his subliminal promise of White Power in his cabinet selections

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trumps-c...-the-whitest-in-recent-history-212344891.html

    Civil Rights Groups, Environmental Groups, Corporate Executives, Foreign Policy Experts, Labor Representatives, Constitutional Advocacy Groups, and National Security Experts are all deeply concerned with Trump's selections for the cabinet and other White House positions.

    100% of progressives thought the ACA would actually save them $2,500 each year.

    Trump "could" have won the popular vote, if he chose to, but that would have been silly to focus on being the system is the electoral college.
    Hillary got beat at her own game, spread out your resources to cover the "necessary" ground game.

    Um, okay. Not sure if that is true, but it certainly has nothing to do with me.

    I'm not now nor have I been a Democrat (nor am I an Anti-Constitution White Nationalist Republican either).

    I've always been a supporter of the US Constitution and the Original Intent of the founders of the United States.

    Not quite sure where this erroneous opinion originated... probably in the Republican bubble, but not even the Democrats in Congress made that statement. The statement was that the PPACA would reduce future increases in health care premiums by $2500 over time which is one of those statements that can never be proven or disproven because it's dealing what becomes "theoretical increases" that never occur.

    One thing the PPACA did promise and that was it would provide insurance to tens of millions that couldn't afford insurance and that we have been able to measure --- SUCCESS. It's been more costly than anticipated because the uninsured had significantly more unanticipated health issues than were expected but it's still provided insurance for over 20 million Americans that wouldn't have insurance without it.

    We'll see if the Republican "Replacement" manages to keep these people insured and add more of the uninsured to the insured ranks in America. They say they have something better so Prove It.

    And highly accurate. "Conservativism" and "White Nationalism" have both been the enemies of the US Constitution and the Original Intent of the founders since this nation was created.

    No I meant it's just interesting and telling how you added negative terms for the Republican party but not the Democratic party.

    Their findings aren't wrong FOR ISRAEL. They are not even hypotheses for America.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Less juvenile than the Right using insane conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones or the guys at Breitbart.

    They said they expect the same results for the US, and elsewhere. You have yet to produce anything that shows how Israeli brains work differently than that of other humans.

    They have yet to produce any evidence that they actually see the same results for america.

    They have no reason to expect a different outcome, and they gave a reason:

    I'll let people decide if their conclusions and reasoning is more persuasive than your baseless dismissals.

    They expect it to be true but have not demonstrated so.

    Why are you so opposed to having your beliefs actually be based on evidence?

    Their findings do not suggest the results would be any different. Do you have something to suggest Israeli brains work differently than that of other humans? You haven't answered that question yet.

    They are, the article agrees with me.

    Trump won 30 States so that's a clear majority of the country. And any dummy who knows anything about the Constitution knows that the national popular vote is worthless. The candidate has to win States in order to win. Trump won the States. He's the next President.

    How are they different? Do you have anything besides your say-so to add to this discussion?

    Actually, it is you that seems to have failed both math and history. While Hillary may have got more votes total, Trump won an overwhelming number of states. Therefore by the system established in 1787, and amended in 1803, Trump won the election. It is time that you, and you fellow liberals accept the fact, and move on!
