    A very brave man once said this.

    He said if a candidate runs for President and gets more votes but still loses, there should be a revolution.

    Do you believe this logic is fair and just?

    Should the American people demand the Popular Vote decides the election, as this brave man once said?

    Should we have a revolution, if this principle is not respected?

    Trump got 290+ votes so nothing to worry about.

    Trump lost the Popular vote.

    by his logic, we should have a revolution.

    and no, he did not win 290 votes in the Electoral College.

    that comes on December 19th.

    Popular vote can be easily rigged, the electoral college not so much. Here's how - say the Democrats get half a million illegals to vote for Hillary in California but all they get is California's 55 electoral votes even though they got an extra half million illegal votes.

    It's a beautiful system when you think about it.

    I hate the winner take all model. I believe every state should be proportional or by district. 1 vote for each of the 435 congressional districts plus DC, and 2 votes to the winner of the state popular vote.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The popular vote is mostly meaningless though. What matters is that Trump will get 290+ of the votes that count.

    or maybe he won't.

    he easily could have lost Wisconsin, and it will flip.

    he could have also lost Michigan.

    Care to explain how half a million illegals could "easily" vote? And, no, despite what tinfoil conspiracy sites have fed you, that's not something that the New Motor Voter Act did.

    Wouldn't it be easier for you guys to move to Canada?
    But hey, remember when you guys were trying to put Trump on the spot about supporting whoever the republican candidate was and then....remember when you guys loved it when he was asked if he would accept the results of the election?
    Wow, talk about jackass backfire......Ill never see anything epic failed like this again in my lifetime. I just feel sad that I couldn't get to see the looks on your faces at 11pm on Nov 8th.
    Gotta give moore credit, he was the only lefty that saw this coming and was honest about the reality.
    Partys over.

    I was wondering which leftists would bail on PF rather than face us and admit they were completely wrong, I was also wondering which leftists would stay and completely lose it right here in front of us for our entertainment. I think we have a winner. Not who I expected but it was my top 5.

    Well, it looks like Trump won because the Left didn't show up to vote. Wouldn't it be easier to just show up and vote than to fight a violent revolution because you don't like that you lose when you don't bother to vote?

    We have elections every 24 months, try putting the glue snifter away for an hour and just voting next time.

    This is getting tedious. Clinton lost the election based on the laws of the land. Get the (*)(*)(*)(*) over it and grow up.

    No, because we use the electoral college for a good reason. If you do not know what it is, you should look it up.

    It seems that way. They never discuss the electoral college then as soon as it effects them it is a problem. Sad.

    Trump said that if a candidate wins but has less votes, the system is a sham and we should revolt!!!

    I didn't see one of them complain prior to the election night. In fact they were gloating that Hillary would win florida easily. So apparently they were fully supportive of the electoral vote because they were gloating that without florida the election was over before the rest of the states voted. They liked the electoral right up until Florida fell. I loved the look on the faces at Hillary headquarters......you could actually watch their minds try and calculate what was happening. Soooooo entertaining.
