    There you go again showing you don't know how we elect a President. There is no national election no national vote. You've been schooled in this repeatedly why do you keep pretending we vote nationally.

    You voted in a Florida election, you didn't vote in the election I voted in. So me a copy of a national ballot.

    You REALLY think we vote nationally? WOW that says a lot about your understanding or rather misunderstanding of our government and our nation.

    2016 was a national election. Elections were held all over the nation to election our national representatives.

    And lower tax revenue as is historically shown, why would you want to do that other than jealousy and envy?

    And lower tax revenue as is historically shown, why would you want to do that other than jealousy and envy?

    Which is miniscule in the amount of tax revenue, why would you want to do that other than jealousy and envy?

    While millions who had it had to forego it and the rest of us saw our cost skyrocket.

    It was Democrats who spent hundreds of billions and failed because it doesn't work. Those "shovel ready" jobs. It's Republicans who want to put everyone back to work in the PRIVATE SECTOR creating wealth and value and income.

    They were cut temporarily which is what the cuts were supposed to be unless you and the Democrats are going to tell us how we are going to cut outflows to match the cut in inflows.

    Encouraging people to stay on unemployment rather than go out and take jobs making government spending soar and the deficits soar. It is Republicans who are putting people back to work in good paying jobs.

    And about killed small buiness and only made the banks grow bigger.

    Why? The students owe the money pay it. They went to school to get higher paying jobs so take some of that higher pay and pay for the education instead of making us that did not pay for it.

    It was Democrats that stood with crooked unions and tried to force people into them and even if they didn't want to join make them pay money to them.

    It was Democrats that passed laws that totally messed up flextime rules that was so important to working parents or those taking care of elderly parent.

    It was Republicans who cut them for EVERYONE and the Democrats belittled those at the bottom about them and now want to take them back. Unbelievable.

    You're repeating yourself now.
    Well DUH the Obama Stimulus was the biggest economic failure in modern history why on earth would you want to repeat it?

    I
    Repetition. It is Republicans putting everyone back to work.

    I
    People should be responsible for the their debts. Why not? I pay off my debts why shouldn't they why should I eat their debt?

    It was Democrats who created an unconstitutional agency that tried to operate without oversight.

    So now instead of your shotgun approach to just try and overwhelm people, try to focus a little and actually discuss something.

    Really show me a copy of a national ballot. You didn't vote in the election that was held in my state and I didn't vote in yours. They were two entirely separate elections and are not reflective of a national vote.

    The fact remains that Trump got more votes in 30 of those elections and Clinton in 21. So guess who won.

    Yeah I did. You voted in an election for president of the United States, where Clinton and donald were the primary candidates, and so did I. And Clinton got about 3 million more votes than donald.

    donald was selected because of an anachronistic system we have that utterly fails in its purpose.

    But don't take my word for it. Take your president's word for it:

    "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. The phony electoral college made a laughing stock of our nation. The loser one! This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy! Our nation is totally divided! The world is laughing at us. Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before
    We can't let this happen. Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country."

    You voted for electors in YOUR state. You didn't vote in my state for my state electors and I didn't vote in your state for your state electors.

    If we all voted in the same national election then why didn't that decide it that night and Clinton declared the winner?

    Did your ballot say The United States of America at the top or State of Florida, "County"?

    GEEEZ don't you know how it works?

    He won by how you win and it worked just as designed and as it is supposed to work.

    He doesn't tell me what to think.
