    Well then put some evidence forth that the president's claims are accurate, The whole "well, we don't really know...." line is nothing more than defending the patent and willful stupidity of the president.

    Agreed. But I have to ask why the MSM make this a story in the first place?? Have we devolved into tabloid journalism to the point where the press has focus on who's political manhood is bigger??

    You don't have evidence that they didn't. They ALL came from 2 counties with heavy illegal immigrant populations.

    What? What are you even talking about? Is that where Trump's blat lie, his felonious assault on the truth, his display of his lack of integrity, is discussing? Some bizarre conspiracy theory about Detroit?

    NY City and LA county. 4 million more votes for Hillary than Trump. That's why the founders were so brilliant with the electoral college. A democrat may never win the presidency again!

    So those 4 million more, none of the others anywhere, were all by illegals and that is what Turmp was talking about, not speaking from his ass?

    True dat. The electoral college allows the votes of the majority of the states to count
    and not just New York and California.

    Thank God we don't live in a democracy.
    We can only hope. I would rather say a "collectivist" may never win the presidency
    again.

    One thing we can all be grateful for is that Bill Clinton's wife will never become president.

    Without a detailed investigation, one cannot prove illegals did NOT vote in the past election either.

    Trump is the one who said they voted illegally. He must have already checked himself, unless of course it is a lie? Wait a minute, it is a lie, because he said it was 3 to 5 million. So which is it lying Don? 3, 4, or 5?

    - - - Updated - - -

    If you can't prove it, then why did lying Don bring it up then?

    As a matter of fact we can and are calling him a liar. All non partisan agree on this, so buck up soldier its going to be worse as he goes.

    You have a so called president lying right out of the box, and that isn't a story? Do you people expect so little from this monster, that lying is not relevant for you?
    Why don't we stick to the subject of Trump's lies? Changing the narrative to his manhood is just escaping from the topic.

    How did he prove it?

    Where are the studies proving illegals didn't vote? If you are going to come in and defend this failure of an argument have more than your opinion to go with it.

    You have the internet? Is Trump the internet for you? I didn't noticethe internet saying 3to 5 million illegals voted, I noticed a quote from Trump on the internet saying that. So who or what said Trump lost the popular vote from 3 to 5 million illegals then?
    Something tells me you aren't going to answer my questions?

    Trump told the lie period. No false narative is going to change that
    Trump is a spoiled rich Nancy boy.

    Reading is fundamental.
    Logically, believing that millions of illegal votes swung the popular vote cannot be a lie unless the number of votes is known, and something false is given with that knowledge. He could be correct. even if he isn't, believing he is is not a lie.

    Your question doesn't make sense. Studies proving illegals didn't vote isn't the question here, even though you are attempting to pivot away from the original topic. Trump is the one who is in question, not some off topic study. Try and stay with us here. I know you are boxed in, but Trump is the topic, and he is on trial for lying, of which you cannot defend.
    We have Trump's own quote, and Trump has not proved any numbers. As it stands this very second, Trump remains a liar.

    No the subject is did illegals vote. People have already proven they have. Even 2.8 in 2012. So where is your evidence they didn't?

    This is the fallacy of your argument. You have nothing to support it.

    And you haven't proven Trump knows illegals didn't vote in those numbers so once again another lie is exposed.

    Believing he is not lying, does not mean he is not lying. But facts do prove he is either lying or he isn't. He has not produced any facts. And that is the bottom line.If you walk into a courtroom without facts that can defend you and you are accused of murder, without those facts, you will be charged with murder. It doesn't matter whether you "believe" you are innocent or not. You will be found guilty. And that's what matters.

    Christ almighty, this came up again at Spicer's just completed Presser. Trump "believes" there were 3 to 5 million illegal votes cast, based on "various studies and papers he has read". These bozos still don't get it, LOL. Lying their asses off because of Trump's obsession with his personal ratings and numbers. Naturally the reporters were aghast and asked when the official investigations by Congress will get underway to investigate this threat to the democratic process - answer, nothing at this time. From birther to crowd size to illegal voters to outright lies concerning his relationship with the intelligence community and on & on....

    To say this is disturbing is a vast understatement - the president is either insane or a pathological liar. Either outcome is dangerous......

    You really are embarrassing yourself. An article was already posted that 2.8 million illegals voted in 2012. Try less ranting and more reading.

    Show me a politician that doesn't. What he's doing is using a statement that will never really be proven or disproven to agitate his opponents. I don't know if that's his motivation, it could be his ego but it could just as likely be politically motivated. Judging by how he played the media and both party establishments throughout the campaign I'm leaning toward political

    "Trump repeats lie about popular vote" is what this thread is about, and beyond that, this gibberish of yours afterwards, makes absolutely no sense at all. Obviously you have made the decision to hijack this discussion with nonsense talk that no one understands.

    oh did you do the checking into all the votes cast? No?

    Then you are giving nothing but an opinion. There are currently investigations in a few states over this exact matter. There were plenty of illegal votes this cycle.
