Accepting that he will be our president is not the same thing as worshiping him, Il Duce style. I accept that he legally won, even though Hillary Clinton now leads in the popular vote by about 1.7 MILLION votes. He won't be the first, or even the last, to be elected POTUS whilst his opponent received more votes. And on a turnout where 47% didn't bother voting for either. But that's your system. Applied to both candidates. Obama never tried to alter it in the last 8 years. Link to post Share on other sites
Jingthing 70,858 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am not contesting the legitimacy of the electoral college or the legality of the trump win. Mentioning Hillary Clinton's popular vote win simply gives power to the reality that even though trump completely controls the government, a majority segment of the people don't support most of his agenda (at least as stated in the campaign). So no mandate. Remember, he's the MOST UNPOPULAR president elect in U.S. history and it's likely to go downhill from that before very long at all. Link to post Share on other sites
jaidam 9,641 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Looks like the liberals will only understand their folly in 4 or 8 years when their candidate of choice finally wins an election, and all hell breaks lose because elections will be meaningless/redundant by then. Everybody knows the nu system of those who throw the biggest hissy-fit can choose the president is somewhat limited in its merits(compared to the old system of democratic elections choosing the President).

Get Real 8,560 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am all for democracy and that the acceptance for that one side wins must be there for a country to maintain their form of state. In this case there is another thing to worry about, and that is the capability of Trump as a president. On the other hand there has been many of that kind in the history of USA. However, this might be the beer that shouldn´t have been drunken. Link to post Share on other sites
Redline 4,751 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Trump didn't really win. He won in the same rigged system he was crying about when he thought he was going to lose. There will always be a group that's not happy, but Trump was crying all the way through his campaign. Hilarious. He will spend more time of his presidency getting upset about what people are saying about him than leading the country. A billionaire actor is going to change the system?

Jingthing 70,858 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 He did legally win. Much to American's eternal embarrassment. We did this. Own it, accept it, and now work on fighting against the horribleness we have wrought. Link to post Share on other sites

So you Trump suckers don't have a problem with a man saying to a 10 year old girl 'I am going to date you when you are 10 years old'? or saying that his star status entitles him to sexually assault woman? or plead to terminally ill people to 'vote for me before you die'? Well, you are easily pleased and easily reeled in. Old white men, what hope? Link to post Share on other sites

Tony125 1,647 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 1 hour ago, ehs818 said: The majority of the electorate did not vote for Trump. In fact almost 75% of eligible voters did not vote for Trump. Of those that did vote, about 1,800,000 more votes for Clinton have been counted so far, with more mail in ballots and provisional ballots still being counted. He did not receive a 'mandate' from the voters. In fact, he did not even have a plurality, much less a majority. He is only the 'winner' due to the form of voting that exists in the USA. The Electoral College meets on December 19 to cast their ballots. Still time for an upset as some US states require the Electoral College members to vote for their states winner, while some certainly do not. While it's possible that an upset may still occur to benefit Clinton, it's highly unlikely. You think the Democrats are 'sore losers'? If that turnabout were to occur, you'd see real violence from Trump supporters if enough of the Electoral College voters were to alter their votes based on the information that the poplular vote went to Clinton and not to Trump. If allowed to vote freely the results could be reversed. California has a population of 38 million people , aproximately 38 percent Hispanic (plus loads of illegal immigrants) Trump won more states than lying Hillary and the electorial college is based on how many states are won to determine the winner. We are not going to award the victory to Hillary because one state California has more population than any other state in the country ,even Texas has only 28 million people. If a candidate barely won ALL the other states California could force a win by popular vote since they have the most population. Thats not going to happen The losers should sit back shut up and see how things run for 6 months to a year if the country is doing badly then immpeach him . Oh by the way up untill California votes were counted Trump was leading the popular votes as well as electorial. 4 other US Presidents lost the popular vote but won by electorial college counts including George Bush.
