TRUMP IN 2012: Electoral College A ‘Disaster For Democracy’...

TRUMP IN 2016: Electoral College Is ‘Actually Genius’...

This situation with the popular vote has only happened FOUR times in the history of the United States. Two of those times within the last 16 years. That probably is a signal that the Constitution is due for an update.

Would any of these jackasses be whining if That Woman won the election constitutionally by the Electoral College and Trump won the popular vote?

Of course not.

Would conservatives be complaining? We accept the rules because we were brought up to accept the umpire's decision.
Neither do we think destroying people's property is a legitimate form of protest.

So shut the FCK up.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Correct.

She won the popular vote, though. Comfortably.

Yes.

More people voted for Clinton.

And Clinton won the popular vote.

She received more votes at the polling booths than Trump.

Thus, America didn't get the President they voted for.

The US, like here does not work on who get the popular vote but who gets the most states or electorates; Im surprised you are so clueless so as not to know that.

No Im not, I was just joking, I know how clueless you are. Grin

And lefty globalist moaners need to do their homework before making bets

Even here in OZ, a candidate can lose the popular vote in their electorate because of preferential voting

Funny thing, a silly woman on the Drum said "The result would have been different had the voting been compulsory", re: US election

Some clairvoyant she is, she was only admitting that different voting systems produce different results regardless of what the people want

Prolly didn't realise that in a first world democracy they don't tend to threaten their citizens with punitive legislation forcing them to do something that is a fundamental human right, so it is irrelevant what she thinks or says.

This popular vote whinge, is the same thing where the people of SEQ demand another referendum on DLS because they 'got the numbers' and still lose, because they don't have most of the electorates.
Having most of the people vote for Day Light Saving in brisbane is irrelevant if the rest of Queensland says no (yet again)

Stupid people will always make stupid comments, the best you can do is smack 'em down when they say something.

Well, apart from the reported 3 million illegal alien voters, last I saw there were about 7 million votes to count, including overseas service personnel. Way to early to say who won the popular vote.

http://www.infowars.com/report-three-million-votes-in-presidential-election-cast...

Info Wars? Seriously? Thats your evidence?

Of course , your evidence is impeccable. If you can find it. Wink

I dont need evidence. I'm not making any claims. Ijust don't see any eivdence in either that inforwars link or the link it linked to, showing 3 million illegal immigrants voted.

Just some wishy-washy we had reports.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

" ... according to Greg Phillips of the VoteFraud.org organization." Who? Undecided

"If true ... " Ah!

"Virtually all of the votes cast by 3 million illegal immigrants are likely to have been for Hillary Clinton, meaning Trump might have won the popular vote when this number is taken into account."

Pointing at trump does not make you and your comments any less so.

It is their system, and that is that, regardless of how you feel about it.

It has nothing to do with how I feel about it.

I've accepted the result, and congratulated the winner.

Fact 1: Trump said "The election is absolutely being rigged ... "

Fact 2: Clinton won the popular vote; America did not get the President they voted for.

The game's rigged, Greggery. We all know Hillary won the erection. One thing's for sure: the mainstream media will never tell you that.

Bogie lost the bet. He should do the right thing and leave for good. Of course we'd miss him, but this is a matter of principle.
