    3 million illegals and dead relatives should not count as voters.

    And the DNC changed their rules. Up for a constitutional amendment?

    No, that's not my mantra. The country is in better shape due to Trump winning. The international scene certainly has a tremendously better outlook than under obama, Bush 43, or Clinton - and infinitely better than Hilary would have produced. The domestic scene is still uncertain, that is a much harder problem to handle, but it is in better shape than "Hilary the sell-out to Russia" would have produced.

    And under obama where was all your "The President is supposed to govern for everyone, not pander to a base increasingly out of step with the rest of the country"? It was all "we won", "elections have consequences", and denigrating everyone who opposed the obama disaster.

    You lost. Elections have consequences. You can dish it out all day but you can't take it foe one second, can you? Typical sore loser prog.

    The Democrats did pack the courts, they have played dirty, they have moved left and they are losing big time.

    In other words "**** you, we won" Again. Surrpise surprise.

    A "tremendously better outlook" ? Tariffs on everything and a full-blown trade war with both our enemies AND our friends? I have to go now, my washing machine just went up and I've had to take on another job to pay for the new one, And the domestic scene "uncertain"? is that the new word for utter disaster nowadays. Trump is a god-cursed train wreck and the Republicans are all conductors, busily stamping our tickets as we plunge over the cliff. Sorry, this is my stop and everyone else's if we're smart in 2018.

    Like I said, enjoy your time in the sun. The next Republican President will see us all old and grey, or hopefully dead..

    You are definitely the master projector. The symmetry is almost poetic.

    Obviously so, we have so far survived the Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama nightmares, and as long as we can keep the printing presses creating money we will survive, or at least until the cost of living does not require a wheelbarrow to carry our money to the store.

    Our 'Federal' government was not intended to be a majority rule form of government, hence the Electoral College, and equal representation of the States, both large and small, by 2 Senators each.

    Nope.

    If that were true she would have also won the EC, which she didn't.

    What this reveals is that she was only more popular in parts of the nation with large democratic populations.

    This is one of the main reasons we have the electoral college, so that a few parts of the nation do not elect our presidents.

    zimbabwe-2009-100-trillion-dollars-obverse.jpg

    Was pegged 1:1 with US dollar originally and TWICE had to readjusted before being scrapped and using the US dollar.

    It actually went to quadrillions before they readjusted and then did exactly the same thing again.

    No, that was YOUR mantra - who said "I won" and "elections have consequences"? Your boy obama, and you.

    You can dish it out but can't take it. How's the other end of the stick feel? Maybe you will learn the lesson and the next time your boy is in power you wont be so condescending.

    Definitely a tremendously better outlook. Trump is playing the long game, tariffs are just a single step in the process.

    You haters stood up for obama and his total failure in all things international, and now you whine because Trump is making progress.

    I would have thought that Freedom to Complain is a fundamental right.

    Not to your mates lol. As is obvious to anyone who's not deliberately trying to spin it the OP wasn't suggesting restricting speech but using shut down to mean end the argument with a winning one.

    This was obvious to every single person who read this thread including you and you are being pedantic only for the point of being pedantic as you well know.

    Oh right, "the long game" I see, Trump is playing this incredibly involved game of 11 dimensional chess which even Mr Spock couldn't understand uhuh rrriighhttt sure "The Lord moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to define.". The problem there is that Trump isn't fracking God. A cheap ass con man who made his money by keeping lawyers to dispute his debts on staff instead of paying them by the hour most likely IS just doing something idiotic when it LOOKS like he's doing something idiotic.

    Maybe you"ll learn your lesson too, though by now most people hope that noone from your side will ever be in power again.

    Bull pucky WHENEVER a Trumpista says that somebody should be "shut down" most of us remember your boy saying "punch that guy right in the face" and most of us don't hear, "Please make a reasoned and logical argument to that fine fellow and let us see if sweet reason may yet win the day" but "punch that guy right in the face". Funny, ain't it?

    Can you link us to any punches that were actually due to this comment?

    Trump supporters understand irony, Democrats do not.

    It's beyond you don't worry about it.

    The only thing that argument supports is the fact that rural polities have greater physical areas than do urban ones. The few parts of a nation don't elect anyone, the people living there do that. The EC was a compromise with Southern planters to prevent demagogues from coming to power. Whatever of the plethora of lying slanders about her you may believe about Hillary I have yet to hear her called a demagogue, while I have heard Trump called little else, so the EC doesn't function very well.

    I will tolerate the idea that the Electoral College means I ( and 3 million others) can be legally disenfranchised. I'll be damned if I'm going to agree that means I don't exist.

    You are correct, it was 30 million illegal votes for Donnie Dirt Bag.
    Thank you.
