Trump would have won the popular vote, except for the votes Clinton got from Texas. That doesn't sound dumb to you? "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."

If the liberals would move on we could move on. Instead they want to keep fighting the election. The same Hillary who was appalled when Trump would not blindly accept election results all of the sudden is deafeningly silent at all of this. Which is why I am not sold on her being out for 2020 but rather waiting to see how the landscape looks. OTOH, let them keep it up. Trump will not be distracted by it and their cause will not be helped. I just saw yet another article today mentioning lefties hoping for that mystery tape of Trump harassing women or using the word "nigger." It is as if they think the guy got to where he is by accident and spent his all time telling black jokes because, well, all those white guys just do that all the time. The President is a fink. |

I find it endlessly amusing that for a year and a half the media threw everything they had at Trump, literally 24/7, and he still had a landslide win in the EC. They don't see how irrelevant they are now, they still think people listen to them and that they move and shake things. It's a case of denial with a capital D. They are so incestuous and so locked in a bubble, that right up till 9pm they believed their own faulty polls and their own hype. Kellyanne Conway said the day before the election (day before, not day after) that their internal polls showed Trump having a real shot at winning. Of course she was mocked and ridiculed, how else could they react. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | That must be some comfort to you, after two landslide victories by Obama. The election before that was not a landslide, though - in 2004 Bush won by only 286 to 251. Or the non landslide in 2000, where he only got 271 votes. Before that? Two more presidential landslides by Clinton. So yeah, I guess I can see why you are happy, it is the first Republican "landslide" since Bush in 1988.

I voted for Obama in 08, not in 12. I didn't even think about the outcome in 12, Obama won fair and square, just like Trump did. What's to think about. In fact, I was roundly mocked for disappearing for 6 weeks after the election and accepting the election for what it was. I guess it was expected I would stick around and cry and howl like the sore losers are doing here today. I don't do that, sorry. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | There were plenty of sore losers in the previous elections, too. It didn't all stop by innaguration day then, and I wouldn't expect it to be any different now. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Trump went a day, or perhaps several where he didn't clarify that statement. REAL Republicans were appalled as well. Then he made a statement, he won't dispute it IF I WIN. Another controversial position. Btw people were alarmed because he never stated his dispute would be by ordinary acceptable means until later. Hillary's dispute has been by legal means. She's never left anyone hanging like Trump. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Trump had to take that position. If he hadn't, if he said he would accept a Hillary win, the headlines from that day on would have been 'Trump Concedes Election!' 'Trump Knows He Will Lose Election!' It would have been unending. They would just play that clip out of context in ads all over the country. Him not saying it was brilliant. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

"If that is possible" - so delusional. This is why liberals will never let his popular vote loss go. It drives Donald crazy. And it's fun to see him tormented. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
