    If only the Russians would have hacked the RNC and released those secret emails stating how they did not want Trump to win. If only our political system was transparent like Obama and Hillary.

    According to the left, shooting 50's 3 pointers and blowing out your scrub opponent is justification for winning the championship.

    Sure why not? At this point your entire paradigm is built by premise that stands on the fact where only one side has all their private correspondences leaked.

    Those people 'running up the score' are American citizens and not three point shots. Their vote ought to matter regardless of when those votes were counted OR WHERE they were counted in a national election.

    Their vote did count for the popular vote. Who is saying their vote did not count or don't matter. However, when the founding fathers wrote the rules, they didn't want mob rule and made for the electoral college. It's been this way for 44 presidencies. What is different now?

    Little did the founding fathers know that the majority would eventually believe in some false persecution complex of themselves by the minority(EXACTLY the paradigm that happened pre-Nazi Germany. Jews(minority) were oppressing the German white majority).

    The founding Fathers were brilliant for their time but we can't fault them for not being gods and extrapolating EVERY possible scenario.

    BTW their vote DIDN'T count if the popular vote holds no weight.

    Trump/Hillary did not campaign on the popular vote (Trump wouldn't be in Nowhere, Wisconsin if it was based on popular vote). The American people do not vote on the popular vote. By that i mean lots of people stay home saying 'my vote won't matter cause my state is decided'.

    People keep saying 'Hillary won the popular vote', what they really mean is 'Hillary won the popular vote when the entire country and candidates acted based on the electoral vote' (who gives a **** about this info).

    I'm curious and would like to understand what your view.
    Explain please.

    False persecution?
    1. What false persecution are you talking about?
    2. What does that have to do with the electoral college?

    Do the math. Even if we played by your rules, Hillary would still more than likely would have won the popular vote. Mainly because there are far more liberal Texans(due to immigration trends and transplants) than conservative Californians. That's where the difference is if everyone knew every vote mattered.

    I'm referring to the persecution complex of the American white male. Many of them posses it. They hear 'African History Month', they become triggered. They hear "Black Lives Matter", they are triggered. They see interracial marriage and claim 'white genocide'. There are plenty of them out there. And pretty much 100% of them are Trump supporters.

    Who the hell knows what would of happened. I could argue that big cities are always blue, therefore Trump would have a much easier time converting Hillary voters as he could reach more at one time. Hillary would have to spend way more time trying to convert Republican voters who are well spread out across the whole country. I'm not saying Trump would of won the popular vote, just that claiming you know what would happen is stupid and that saying 'Hillary won the popular vote' is equally stupid.

    I can readily agree that there are triggered while people, and I will add that there are many triggered black people and hispanic people as well. I would very much disagree that most of them are Trump supporters.

    It's not stupid. It's an assumption based on some merit. If the popular vote mattered the biggest difference would be the millions of voters in Texas and California who's vote now matters. And this is simply an assumption based on trends but there are more liberal Texans than conservative Californians. My assumption is mainly based on immigration and transplants.

    Most triggered white people who are triggered because a minority expressed some level of persecution publicly are 100% Trump voters full stop. No ifs ands or buts about it.

    Can you agree that there are triggered groups in all racial groups, not just white.

    From history, I would say the concerns of racial minorities have more valid merit.

    No disrespect. That's not what I'm asking. Can you agree that there are triggered groups in all racial groups, not just white?

    Incorrect again. The candidates would have changed their messages. Trump concentrated on the Rust Belt and promised to bring back manufacturing jobs.

    For some odd reason, you really think candidates actually believe the **** they campaign on. Hillary has changed her position so many times. This is why people can't stand her. She is not genuine. Why is this concept so hard to understand.
