Mr Bombastic

Some say that Hillary should be President because she won the popular vote.

Even if this was true, let me give you an example of just how silly such a notion the 'popular vote' is.

How would you feel if the Superbowl winner was determined, not by points scored, but by how loud the crowd cheered?

Hillary didn't score enough points, and that's how games are won, both in sports and in politics.

So you sorry little Hillary losers can go lick your wounds and try again in 2018.

Have a nice day.

Mr Bombastic, Trump was elected by the electoral college, not the majority of voters. Some people like it that way, some don't! I'm one of those that never liked the electoral college. Having said that, I certainly recognize the pussy grabber as the President.

Sorry Mr. B, but your analogy is flawed.
The crowd at any game is an observer, not a participant.
The voters going to the polls are participants whose very casting of votes is supposed to lead to an outcome.

A more apt comparison might be if the team with the most points was declared the loser because of an arcane rule set by the governing body of the NFL.

Well Pauline,

No amount of second guessing, supposition, or vain comparisons will change the outcome of the election.

So stick a fork in the Clinton Pig.

She is officially roast pork now.

And the man with the crazy hairdo and the overstuffed wallet is your president.

But have no fear, you get to stay queer.

Right ?..................................PUNK ??

You really crack me up, sometimes. Not only did you insult him, you did it while rhyming.

A better comparison would be of the team with the most yards did not have the most points.

A pick 6 counts the same as a Hail Mary pass.

There was no popular vote POTUS election.

Switch to popular vote and you'd see hugely different campaigning schemes. Many, many conservatives in the states of New York and California would then become more vocal because their voice would then be heard

Salty-So you have never grabbed one? Such a sheltered life. lol PS. if you do not like the electoral college, which is the fairest way of electing a president, then you would be satisfied with the 8 most populous States dictating who the presidents will be from now on while the remaining 42 States are left out in the cold. Does not make much sense now does it? It is obvious that the people who designed the EC were clear thinkers who had vision and ensured that even the smallest State could make a difference. PS. Democrats have loved the EC for decades but since they lost the election they now hate it. Childish is it not? America First !!!

Mr.B. - Wolfie's insults are just his way of being...well...Wolfie.
Like the proverbial water off a duck's back they have no impact on me.

The "arcane rule" you speak of has held this country together as a prosperous nation, not under the mob rule of the majority, but a celebration of minority rights.

The tyranny of the mob would have preserved slavery, the tyranny of the mob is equally as dangerous as the whims of dictators and despots.
Not to mention that the "majority of Hillary's votes" are highly suspect to voter fraud, equally worrisome.

Look up "True the Vote" under Catherine Englebrecht.

I was merely commenting on his style. He really does have a way with words.

Thanks for the compliment Mr. B.

When you see the map of the vote results .......
It's red throughout 'the fly-over states' except for sanctuary cities and N-east states and California
It's an impressive MAP

amazing

Logically Trump was the big winner. Check the red on the map. He won 2646 counties and Hillary a mere 458. The people won this election. Otherwise we'd be run by NY or CA. Standards.....because that is where all her votes came from. A scary thought

It was a great response, right or wrong until your last sentence and then you just had to spoil it! Huck
