The Clinton Archipelago

Head to head, Trump wins the popular vote over Hillary. It's a moot point, however.

And that is a truly sad fact.

In 2 of the last 7 Presidential elections Republicans have made it clear their message does not resonate with a majority of our nations' people....only a majority of our nation's land mass.

a "nation of, by, and for the people" ......the key word their being people (not states).

Not really. I doubt I'll ever be more than a mediocre golfer. I tend to fade in the backstretch.
There was a movement a few years ago to reduce the game down to 12 holes in order to increase the number of players. I fully endorse that.
Getting back to a civics lesson for liberals.......you guys do realize that each state gets electoral votes based on their populations, don't you? So your bs argument that everyone's vote doesn't count is absurd, right?

Bend it, twist it, stand it on it's head if you like......it's still the most wonderful time in 8 years! AND....it's legal, moral and just.

Except that they don't. Do the math.
Wyoming has less than 600,000 people and gets three votes That's one vote for every 200,000 residents. If California got one per 200,000 it would have close to 200 votes.
Let's try it a different way. California's population is bigger than the smallest 21 states. They get 55 votes. The 21 smaller statement almost double that.
So how is your population argument going?
Bug, but, but, . . . . . . . we got more yards!
Where was your leftist drivel BEFORE the election?

If it was sooooo unfair, where were you when Liarry needed you?

System is looking just fine to me.

But that's ok billyboy, I've got crayons and a coloring book, a towel and a sympathetic pet, all just for you.
Have I ever complained that she should have won, based on the popular vote.
I have not, but truth isn't very important to some people. I do have some issues with the EC and if your brain retained what it read, you'd recall me posting about them back in September, months before the election. I think it's outdated and is one of the few things Trump said before the election I agree with. I think it discourages people from voting. Why would a Republican in California bother to vote?
I'm simply pointing out the falsehood of your statement that the EC is based on a states population.
It's simply not. It's based on the number of Congressional Representatives each state has.
People who have poor memory and spread falsehoods generally don't do very well in life.
Billyboy, your reps are determined by the states population. But I've become bored trying to help you with this.....so let me help you get into the spirit of the season.....repeat three times, It's the most wonderful time in 8 years! Between that, your coloring, pets and towel, you can make it to Christmas!
