I’m embarrassed by the actions of many liberals today. However, don’t kid yourself into thinking it wouldn’t be just as bad if the election would have went in Hillary’s favor.
This isn’t helping bridge the divide. I hope most people realize that the violent protesters and verbal abusers, much like the outspoken republicans that took heat in the media, are in the minority. People need to be more reasonable when considering that their fellow citizens used their voice through voting, and the country as a whole selected Trump. Democrats owe it to them to allow democracy to takes it course. Same for republicans if Hillary took office.
If you’re a foreign government that “donated” millions to the Clinton foundation can you ask for a refund now that she didn’t get elected? Or does that cross the line and show you weren’t just donating out of the goodness of your heart?
For me, his victory is interesting in that I think he’s awful and will lead us down the wrong path, but holy shit I really enjoy watching all the SJW dickwads make giant asses of themselves. I’m torn
Considering how most Republican leaders did nothing to help Trump, the media bias etc, if you equalize everything, he would have won the popular vote by more than 10 million.
If Trump wins a state by more than the number of absentee ballots there is no point in counting them except the fact that an overwhelming majority of them are Military Trump votes and may sway the popular vote.
So how many states bother to count absentee ballots?
I would argue that in this election when republican leaders came out against Trump it probably HELPED him more. I wouldn’t throw out random numbers on speculation. He won and that’s that.
It’s not random numbers. I would want to see statistics but considering how many new/flipped voters there were, and then still only having 59million people vote tells me that there is a large number of traditional republicans who stayed home but the new first time voters made up for it.
We are talking about an opposition that had the president campaign for them, as well as people like Cuomo and Brown. In my book considering all that he was up against, it was a complete upset and landslide. It’s like saying that a one legged man who wins a marathon is just a slight victory
I don’t think that Trump would pardon him. If Julian Assange continues to do his job correctly then anything Trump does could be under just as much scrutiny. There is a no win scenario for Trump but who knows.
Look at the detailed election maps on any site. The thing to note is all the counties in the midwest / PA that overwhelmingly went for Obama in past years
flipped to Trump this time around.
That’s my point, considering how many traditional voters there were for past nominees, the ones that were told this time by their own party that Trump was a disaster, it is amazing that he was able to overcome that with flips and new voters. Otherwise the math wouldnt add up
^ This x1000. For the first time I’ve ever seen the mainstream media wasn’t just biased, but they actually came right out and said it was their job to make sure a major party candidate wasn’t elected.
The U.S. media is essentially 100 percent united, vehemently, against Trump, and preventing him from being elected president.
If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him? Because if you believe all of those things, you have to throw out the textbook American journalism has been using for the better part of the past half-century, if not longer, and approach it in a way you’ve never approached anything in your career. If you view a Trump presidency as something that’s potentially dangerous, then your reporting is going to reflect that. You would move closer than you’ve ever been to being oppositional.
We’ve seen unfair coverage before, but the media would at least claim ignorance and say there was no bias. This year they actually tried to justify their bias. The fact that Trump won despite this, even if it was close, to me kind of does feel like a landslide.
Considering the media has spent the last 16 years fighting the ‘opposite party’, it’s no wonder that people discount everything they say. Liberals complain about Fox News as if CNN isn’t do the same shit. They all stopped being unbiased a looooooong time ago.
The sad part of that reaction video is people recognize they’re in shock because they were lied to about Trumps chances, yet they probably won’t recognize that they were also lied to about other things Trump related.
