B-Man Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ADMITS DEFEAT The Associated Press did all it could to elect Hillary Clinton, but today it (almost) gave up the ghost. The “news” service headlined: “Trump cruises to Electoral College victory despite protests.” “Despite protests”? What does that mean? Are we supposed to take seriously the idea that a handful of slackers waving signs at state capitols around the country could somehow reverse Donald Trump’s victory? Trump’s polarizing victory Nov. 8 and the fact Democrat Hillary Clinton had won the national popular vote had stirred an intense lobbying effort, but to no avail. Why was Trump’s victory “polarizing”? Would it be any less polarizing if Hillary Clinton had won? No. And can Democrats quit whining about the “national popular vote”? Democrats complaining that their defeat was unfair because Hillary got more votes is like a basketball team complaining that it was robbed because it got more rebounds than the other team, and still lost the game. Sorry, but that isn’t how the contest is scored. And you knew that going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are the rules of a Presidential election very clear, but the candidates base their entire campaign strategy on those rules. Or at least they should have. Maybe Hillary should have moved outside the NYC-Hollywood-SF fundraising bubble a little more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 So we’re not all socialists now? File this infamous early 2009 cover with the rest of the DNC-MSM’s proverbial fake news: All the chatter and statistics and talk show “experts” proclaiming that America had forever swung Democratic? ALL LIES. All the slanted polls, which were intended to convince everyone that Hillary was inevitable? ALL LIES. The derision of Trump as a ludicrous fringe candidate and his supporters as wild-eyed extremists? ALL LIES. And it’s not just that they were all lies — they were lies that had no effect. Somehow, without anyone noticing, a majority of the American populace had evolved a new immunity to progressive disinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRome Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Maybe Hillary shouldn't have run a pay-to-play scheme for hundreds of millions of dollars out of the Office of Secretary of State. Or divulge classified info in over a hundred emails on a non-classified email system. Or dilvulge top secret info on tens of emails. I had read somewhere that her margin for winning the national popular vote was solely due to a +4 million margin over Trump in California. People outside of the left coast/right coast/Denver/Ithaca aren't complaining about the electoral college.

As a friend of mine who is a retired career officer in the military said; 'If I had behaved like Bill Clinton, I would have been demoted, fired and possibly court martialed. If I behaved like Hillary Clinton I'd have been sentenced to life in prison.' People acting like this vile woman was the worthy embodiment of some grand crusade should be punched in the face repeatedly. There hadn't been anyone more deserving of a crushing defeat since the 18-0 Pats*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I most like about that aspect is how they think the popular vote and electoral vote going in different directions is proof that the system is 'a vestige' as opposed to evidence that the system is doing exactly what it was designed to do (or prevent, depending on your perspective). It's as though these people lived their entire lives thinking the EC was just a funny way of doing math. As for us poor, poor Californians, I guess we'll just have to consider our disenfranchisement as another 'sunshine tax'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
