yoink 321 #376 December 4, 2016 rushmc The post of a crybaby who just ate sour grapes Let's play a game. Imagine for a second that Trump had received 100 million popular votes and Hillary had only received about 30 million. But despite that Hillary had won the presidential election... I want you to tell me honestly that you would stand behind the correctness of that vote and wouldn't be pointing out the discrepancies or ridiculousness of the system in which that can happen. Because I don't believe it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brenthutch 444 #377 December 4, 2016 The reason the popular vote argument doesn't work, is because that was not the rules of the game going in. It would be analogous to a team that won yards passing, yards rushing, time of possession, first downs, turnovers, and penalties, yet had less points on the board than the other team at the end of the game, yet still claiming victory. Trump could have spent time campaigning in CA, MA and NY and easily picked up an additional million or three votes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #381 December 4, 2016 You're right. Trump won the election. No question. But he doesn't have the right to claim he has a popular mandate. He won, but he didn't do so because most of the country agrees with him. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
