twitchy's harvard-harris poll on Trump analysis

as far as Clinton winning Texas, yes. Texas does have the second highest electoral college numbers with California at the top of the list. So Texas is a key state.

funny how the Democrats love the rules, until the rules bite them in the ass. then they want the rules changed. lol

rigged? not exactly how i'd put it but that's Rolling Stone for you.

the electoral college does exactly what it was intended to do. Keep a handful of large cities from controlling the Presidential election.

this map shows who the Nation really wanted for President.

Prior to last year's election, one of my Facebook friends, a very solid Trump supporter, posted either a meme or her opinion stating that the popular vote should be the deciding factor in electing the POTUS. My assumption is that she thought Trump might win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote. After Trump won she made a post stating how people must accept Trump because he won the electoral vote and, as I stated, that is the law.

Funny how people's perspective changes based on the outcome. I would venture to say that had Trump won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the electoral vote, there would be many Republicans crying "foul" and reminding everyone that Trump won the popular vote.

The maps tend to be misleading. But I hope all of you get a chance to visit all of them county fairs in the next few months. Twitler won’t be there, but I hear they got some right exciting bonfires planned for this year’s lynchings.

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stor...-counties.html

according to this article, there are actually 3113 counties in the US.

they list -

Trump 2,262
Clinton 487

how is the number 3113 obtained?


"The AP considers parishes in Louisiana as counties in election tallies. Washington, D.C., and Alaska have a single statewide reporting unit. Virginia’s count includes 95 counties and 38 independent cities."

so 2,262 + 487 = 3113 as reporting counties for election purposes.

487 / 3113 = 15.6% so round it to 16% which means Trump won 84% of all reporting counties.


what's misleading about that??

idiot.
