    Some people don't want to see the politician they don't like more popular than the one they do like. So they end up trying to come with reasons why it can't be true that he really is way more popular.

    Separation anxiety for both sides. The paranoia among conservatives need a replacement that makes them feel bullied and persecuted. Liberals have no power for the next two years, so that's a no go.

    Conservatives need a scapegoat for their consistent failed policies, what are they going to do, for the next 2 years, who will they blame?

    There's a significant difference between an election and a poll as well as an election for candidates as opposed to legislation.

    So which is it, polls are inaccurate or polls are the "will of the people"? You seem to flip flop depending on what the issue is. Obama favorability is 60%, well you can't believe the polls. 59% oppose Obamacare, well the people have spoken.

    Look, a poll. 43% of Republicans think Obama is a Muslim.

    What are you six years old? You said the popular vote means nothing which is stupid. Politics isn't a math problem.

    You don't know what I support. Unlike you, I don't pretend not to support a candidate to give myself plausible deniability when it doesn't work out. You like to go on and on about how both sides do it so you can pretend to be above the fray but really you're the worst kind of politico. Someone that's always chirping but never actually supports a candidate so you can trash whoever loses. Boo hoo indeed.

    I can't wait for your next 50 posts blaming liberals for Donald Trump and going on and on about how "both sides" do it no matter who actually did it. Jesus.

    It seems the fact that the President of the United States is a white supremacist sympathizer and an ignorant, capricious, pathological lying buffoon has escaped your attention. Why is that?


    This is the conversation we're having.


    Ooooooh, Clinton lost the election!!! Derpy boo hoo!

    Uh... yeah and the President now is Trump.

    But Clinton lossssssssst, ahaha

    Uh... yeah, so Trump is President and Ricky Perry is going to run Energy.

    But liberals lost, boooh ooooo

    Uh...

    By someone, you mean like your lawyer who's suing the driver that took away your legs?

    I'd think it's our duty to care for injuried vets from those engagements and that cost should be amortized into the total price tag.

    Part of Obama's record debt comes from lost revenue during the recession and forced government spending during that time to plug up the loss in GDP due to layoffs and bankruptcies. Fears of death spirals were real, so the lack of perspective here means the economy is in stable enough shape to complain out of frustration rather than out of desperation.

    I totally agree the debt should be reduced, but it hasn't been the apocalyptic disaster gold bugs and seed fiends were raising hell about five years ago.

    If Trump fixes that, he'd have to be taken seriously by all Americans.
