The liberal leading and Democratic Party supporting news media still do not get Donald Trump. He made a big chunk of his campaign as an assault on that same media, and won. Many, including me, scoffed at the notion that the MSM was on the ballot, as so many of his supporters claimed. Well, they were. And he’s still punking them.
Surely, Trump has noted the huge number of pieces on the electoral college and the calls to do things like abolish it and/or have the electors go faithless and vote for Hillary. He’s certainly seen all the MSM article/opinion pieces on the recount in 3 states Trump won. So, he goes and drops this
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

Now, if we just look at that tweet, as the media surely has, we get a Typical Media Freakout
- Politico: Trump’s baseless assertions of voter fraud called ‘stunning’
- Vox: Donald Trump is now questioning the legitimacy of the election he won
- CNN: Trump falsely claims ‘millions of people who voted illegally’ cost him popular vote
- ABC: TRUMP MAKES BASELESS CLAIM THAT ‘MILLIONS’ VOTED ILLEGALLY, COSTING HIM POPULAR VOTE
- Washington Post: Donald Trump’s bogus claim that millions of people voted illegally for Hillary Clinton
- Heck, even People: Donald Trump Falsely Claims He Won the Electoral College and Popular Vote by a ‘Landslide’
This continues all over the place within the Credentialed Media. Could Trump be correct? Probably not. But, hey, without an examination of the tallies in places like California and New York, how do we know that they didn’t have millions of illegal aliens, felons, people voting two or more times, and legal aliens voting?
This is where Trump has trolled the media, exposing their bias. Rather than wondering if there is a possibility that there could be lots of people voting who shouldn’t, they immediately jump to the types of hysterical anti-Trump headlines, and articles, that you would expect. Unless Trump had been a Democrat, then they would have been sympatico, much like all the ones on the Electoral College and attempted recounts.
But, Trump continued
It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4–

states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!

Adding this in, we see that Trump most definitely understands the notion of getting rid of the Electoral College and replacing it with the popular vote. The election would be put in the hands of just a few areas. Candidates would only need to campaign in a small number of areas, rather than a large number of states. Among other issues.
We can look forward to at least 4 years of this kind of media apoplexy over everything.
Crossed at Right Wing News.
America has become embarrassing on both sides of the ISLE right now.
AS I said repeatedly during the campaign….if HRC wins the right will scream, go home and go back to work…….
If Trump wins they will riot in the streets…..
Now they are paying to recount MI, WI and PA…..and if the RNC and the trump team is not all over this like shit on stink then HRC and the DEMS will steal back this election because its what the LEFT DOES in a banana republic.
Either way trump will never see 2020…He will either lose the recount or be impeached before his first term is up….
He is a self adulating moron who I realize now after listening to BITCH McConnell will do nothing of what Trump Promised….and will in every sense of the way block everything Trump wants to do….
My analysis is if you think DC was broken under Obama….you aint seen nothing yet folks……Nothing…..
Ryan cant even say the word……FENCE…..lolololol…..The GOP cant wait to Impeach Trump…….
The fat lady is already tuning up for this one folks….you read it here.
And why am I saying this about the GOP…..
Think about it….Trump campaigned on drainning the swamp…..or cleaning up DC….seriously how many of those bitches vaseline their asses for PACS in DC?
How many of these bitches do you think are gonna go quietly in the night….let Trump put them out of work, take away their gravy train…….How many PACS are gonna say….oh okay well I guess no more lobbying for our causes.
THE LEFT AND RIGHT BOTH….are just gonna wait to pounce on TRUMP…the moment he pulls that blunder….which he will….POUNCE…….and trump is impeached with enough NEVER TRUMPERS TO GET THE BASTARD OUT OF DC so they can go back to vaseline, condoms and greased palms.

This is not to suggest that all Trump voters are mentally ill.
Teach typed:
Absolute rubbish. You mean candidates would campaign where the voters are? How undemocratic, LOL. Do candidates campaign now in Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nebraska? Without the EC, a vote from South Dakota would carry no more weight than a vote from LA, so in fact the opposite of what you predict would happen.
In fact, the current state to state winner-take-all system guarantees that candidates only campaign in a few so-called battleground states, secure in the fact that they have a majority of votes in most other traditionally red or blue states. In a true one person-one vote system a candidate would need to make certain that he or she got every available vote in Nebraska, Minnesota, Hawaii, Georgia, Louisana and New Mexico.
Republicans love the EC today because 2 of the last 3 presidents have been Republicans elected by a minority of voters. Democrats need a supermajority to win!
The constitution calls for an electoral college to prevent states like flyover country from being unrepresented in our form of Republic.
One of the big reasons why the south refused at first to join the UNION was because of the vast discrepancy of population between northern states and southern states….Thats why they factored in the now infamous blacks counting for 2/3rds of a person or whatever nonsense it was.
but that aside it has always been about the states….that is why its called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…..every state matters….no matter how big or how small.
Thats why their is a house of representatives which represents population. A senate which represents STATES…..and a president who was never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever thought to become as powerful as they have…..
The revolution was against an imperial king….we have now replaced an imperial king with an imperial president….if the congress would get back to doing their jobs….the presidency would become what it was intended to be…..the CEO of the federal government and not a king dictating his will on the entire world.
I know what you mean Jeffery. Remember when the moslem democrat murdered 50 gays at Pulse night club? Then I refused to suggest all you democrats were homophobic psycho murderers. Or when Trump won and all those democrats took to the streets and rioted like spoiled mentally ill Nazis? But that’s not all democrats.
At least that smelly thief Crooked Killary has been thrown out even with 3 million illegal votes. Hahahahaha.
Laim,
We fully understand the reasoning for the EC, we were just pointing out Teach’s flawed reasoning. The EC allows most national politicians to ignore and take for granted all but the “battleground” states.
Republicans love the EC today, but if Trump had won the popular vote and yet lost the EC, they’d by whining about the end of democracy.
Rev Mohammed,
And now we have a rapist “businessman” and his ex-stripper wife preparing to loot America. Allah bless America!
Hahahahaha!
Ahhh, poor Sugar Bear, still twisting in the wind trying like hell to invent new insults just like a two tear old. I was not aware Trump has been convicted of rape. Can you please cite that for me. You don’t have to put businessman in quotes as the man actually is one unlike the thieves the democrats pass off as “politicians”, like Crooked Hillary. I don’t know what you have against the mans wife but I do understand that as a sexist you most likely are afraid of a beautiful and successful woman being used to the ugly pigs the democrats have on their team again like Crooked Killary, Madeline Albright, Ruth Ginsberg, Nazi Pelosi or Maxine Waters. What a bunch of brainless, talentless dogs. At least the American people agree with me and threw out that ugly pig Crooked Killary. Hahahahaha. Buh-bye, Killary you ugly animal!
She couldn’t even win with the dems fraudulent votes!!! How many times did you vote Jeffery? 3.6 million fraud votes and still lost. Hahahahahaha.
Trump is already Making America Great Again. By creating jobs.

Rev Mohammed,
What? Now we need a conviction to be labeled criminal? What was Clinton convicted of?
Trump physically assaulted his first wife and has sexually assaulted at least a dozen women, including at least one underage teen. Forgive me for referring to that behavior as rape.
Trump is a grifter. We have nothing against Mrs. Trump. She used to get paid for removing her clothing. It’s honest work, and we assume it’s behind her. Hahahahaha. She lied about her immigration and about her education, hahahaha.
Much like the vile Muslims you claim to abhor, you judge a woman based on her appearance. We suspect you must be a “looker” yourself, hahahahaha. It’s not surprising you excuse rape in your god-king. You have more in common with Muslims than with Jesus.
Finally, there is no evidence of any fraudulent votes. In fact, Chumpy lost the popular election by millions of votes, hahahahaha.
I thought we always have.
Nothing, YET!!! But she’s crooked and even you know that.
You’re not excused for lying, dude. Why should you be?? So I guess if I say you’re a rapist of a ten year old girl you’ll be okay with that?
I judge a woman based on a lot of things, so do you. So what? If you are referring to Trump as a god-king you’re an idiot an idolater. I thought you were a heathen?
I do need to ask though, why are leftist women so damn u-g-l-y? I mean, look at the pussy on that Crooked Killary. Hahahaha

Rev Mohammed,
TheDon is 100 times more crooked than Clinton. But you knew that. He’s bankrupted a half dozen companies, cheating his investors out of hundreds of millions.
Of course, TheBigOlPussyGrabber was accused by his victims – not some stranger – and he even admitted to sexual assaults on video. Are you now claiming that I raped you?? I can assure you it wasn’t me. Maybe Trump mistook you for a helpless young woman – which is understandable. Did your assailant have a tiny orange member?
We’ve all actually seen pictures of the naked Mrs. Trump – how trashy. It’s a sad state when some women feel compelled to sell their body to live. She was lucky that a billionaire hired her – the rest is history. And did you see the life-like statues of Crooked Don with the tiny weiner? Yuck. He’s suing to make sure no more are sold. What a putz – what a teesy, weensy, little putz. Hahahahaha
We fully understand the reasoning for the EC, we were just pointing out Teach’s flawed reasoning. The EC allows most national politicians to ignore and take for granted all but the “battleground†states.
There is no flawed reasoning involved in his analysis…..if there was a popular vote the flyover country would get almost no attention because its scarce populations per state compared to the 150 million in 5 or 6 states would still continue to get ALL the attention.
Texas, Florida, Illinois, NY, California, Mass, PA, MI, etc would be where they camped…..as they have combined half the votes nationally.
The EC is the perfect system for America…..Conservatives are sorry that Liberals multiply like Rabbits and bring in millions of illegals and place them in Florida, California and colorado and then scream when the win the popular vote but lose the EC college…….Look at the sea of red map……Blue in the huge cities and the rest of America is RED….its always that way…..
And yet now the Democrats want the few places in America and I do mean FEW to represent the entire country……
no my friends….not realizing their brilliance at the time….the EC is the perfect system.
