    If you don't think 13+ million votes for a Socialist, in the USA is a big deal, I don't even...

    You keep making this point like it means something. It was a 20+ point victory by an incumbent who was liked, respected and had held that seat since January of 2005. Not the same race as yesterday's open contest.

    So you gave me a good reason to stop reading your post.

    You act like polls are the voice of god.

    If you read the paragraph at the bottom of the poll (and I always do) they always (if they are good) will tell you how they collected the data, from whom, and what they expect their degree of accuracy is.

    The polls in the final two weeks of the 2016 election were very clear to people who had
    the ability to read the fine print.

    They did not declare Clinton a winner, they declared the election to close to call.

    And to that end, they were right: Clinton did win by the numbers of people who voted.

    So you can understand why I would care even less about a smaller poll that I am sure had
    the information that smart people read which would have explained that they did not promise
    anyone anything no matter how hard people after who were not as smart insisted they did.

    If Trump is such a failure why does the Republican party keep winning? Trump is the head of the party after all.

    You guys just don't get it. Lose another election and maybe you will understand. I'm tired of trying to explain things to you guys.

    Where is the Republican party winning?

    They are scraping by in strong Republican districts.

    Surely you are smart enough to know in strong Republican districts Republicans have
    more people voting then Democrats?

    More people voted for Clinton than for Trump.

    He's in because the electoral college favors Republicans.

    The special elections are because he picked people from Republican districts.

    Do you think he'd pick someone in a district that was close?


    HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

    There's a reason no one listens when you try to explain something to them.

    Trump never campaigned for anything other than the EC because the EC was all that mattered for winning. California and illegals do not decide who our president is. If you understood how the election process worked you would see Trump won in a landslide.

    If it was all about total number of votes then only the big cities would matter in an election and Trump would campaign for most votes and not the EC. It's not that hard to understand.

    Big cities do not get to decide our president. The entire country does and America voted for Trump.

    Then you missed the point I was getting at. HB Surfer stated that the polls were predicting an Ossoff victory. Your response was "nope". Well, come on - there they were. The polls WERE predicting an Ossoff victory. Your statement was demonstrably false.

    Also, if you really think I believe that polls are some kind of Divine Revelations, you couldn't be more wrong. You're new here, so you've missed the posts where I've said that the only real poll that matters happens on election day. I've also said that I find polling is driven more by the biases and schemas of the Legacy Media rather than the truth so I find them suspect. You've also missed the hilarity of posters Gorn Captain, Andrew Jackson, and LibChik (among many others) who posted endlessly about how the polls were predicting a Hilla Landslide - and GC was starting threads on this five times a day. Turns out they were wrong. Especially regarding the Electoral College predictions that they read verbatim from their beloved Legacy Media overlords. You want to see people who took the polls as Gospel? Look at many of our left-of-center posters instead.

    Also, I think you missed the sarcasm in my post when describing polls; not that I blame you there. I thought my describing how the polls explained how Hilla and Ossoff won the election were a clear sign I was being snarky regarding the polls. I need to start using the [/sarcasm] tags a bit more, I'm afraid.

    No they did not. They called it for Hilla. Unless you're saying that everyone in the Legacy Media has no idea how the election works, that none of them understand that it's the EC and not the popular vote that elects presidents - okay, I could get behind that statement, actually. But regarding the popular vote, the press followed the lead of the NYT. That worked out well for them. I'd hardly call an 85% chance that Hilla would win "too close to call", myself. Maybe it's just me.

    Well, that's why I quoted Stat. He's a board liberal; I've rarely if ever seen him like a conservative poster but often give likes to liberals here, so I figured you would accept his word for it. He's yet another one who made numerous posts describing the Hilla Landslide. But again, the point was that the polls were saying Ossoff would win. They were Ossoff.

    Is that why I get so many responses from people that read and listen to what I have to say just like your doing right now?

    I'm going to bed. You come off a a troll and I don't feel like wasting my time trying to explain anything to you. Your head is just too thick.

    I am starting to think you are nothing more than a troll and you don't possibly believe the garbage you posted. You got busted on your ridiculous lie about the polls with pure proof and now this little gem.

    If you want people to take you seriously here, you can't just be a total lock stepper disregarding proof in your face and then trying to dismiss other posters like Matthewthf when they are giving you reasonable responses.

    She only won the poupler vote becouse of two states; New York and California. So cast those two states out, and your left with Trump winning both Popular and EC votes. So did she win the populer vote yes she did, but in her case, it isn't black and white.
