The pardon is being immediately repaid with a new propaganda film from Dinesh D'Souza in honor of dear leader.
Eliminate Texas and her lead is even bigger. That's a pointless argument. And I'm not trying to argue about who won the election, just that the poster I was responding to was going down the wrong road.
It's really not, Hillary won California by over 4 million votes, that one state is what swayed the nation's popular vote despite the overwhelming majority of states voting for Trump over Hillary. California was by far the largest majority won by any candidate in any state with New York coming in second with Hillary winning that state by nearly 2 million votes. Knowing that, why would you even bother making that intellectually dishonest counter argument? Hillary won big in just a few states and lost pretty much everywhere else. When people cite the popular vote, they are attempting to create a false narrative, that more of the country wanted Hillary than was actually the case. In reality most of the country rejected Hillary but a few states like California, NY, and Illinois skewed the popular vote count to hide that obvious fact. Winning California big might make our friends on the fringe left happy, but it really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things.
CA and NY have big populations. Those states have a lot of United States citizen voters. That doesn't make those votes somehow less significant when determining the winner of the popular vote. Big states don't skew the popular vote. 1 citizen is equal to 1 vote. It doesn't matter what state they are in. Your bizarre logic of trying to make the votes of citizens in some states not matter as much is silly. More U.S. citizens voted for Hillary. That's all there is to it.
Sure, but the national popular vote is irrelevant outside of conversations like these, I hope you realize that. As to this past election, 1 big state did in fact skew the popular vote which is what I was pointing out. If you look at the popular vote of 49 states, Trump won it but California went to Hillary by such a large margin as to change the result.....which is why the US uses an electoral college system instead of a national popular vote. They didn't want the interests of just a few large population centers to dictate the winner for the entire country....Democrats currently think they want that system because they are largely short sighted people only seeing how they would benefit in the short term.
Nope. I know Trump (supposedly) got fewer votes than Clinton. That's not what I meant. 43 million for Trump. That's a lot. That's my point. And I'm sure you know about that darned old electoral college.
Always fun to see dinesh d'souza's falsehoods exposed... read the entire thread where a German historian destroys his lies...
