I'm looking at Bob's link and I see that Hillary's margin of victory in California is about 3.5 million votes. You take California out of the mix and instead of winning the popular vote by 1.75 million, she lost by 1.75 million.

So she ran up the score in the popular vote with all those Latte sipping elitists out in California but lost in the electoral college to the working stiffs in the rust belt that she and Bill gave the shaft to with NAFTA.

I call that poetic justice.

What if Trump won because hundreds of thousands were thrown off the voter rolls for BS reasons?

Quote:
The Election was Stolen – Here’s How…

Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.

The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
“The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters,” 8/24/2016.

Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922

Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824

Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393

It's possible, but hard to prove since the margins aren't that small and several states would have had to be flipped. Not like 2000 when it was just one state that needed to be flipped and only a 547 vote margin. I personally think it was due to a huge enthusiasm gap. Trump voters were amped. Hillary's were holding their noses. Both Bernie and Trump were packing in crowds of 10,000 20,000, and even more into their rallies. They were rock stars. Hillary was drawing a few hundred. And when Bernie pivoted after the election and started stumping for her, his crowds dwindled down to a few hundred.

By the way, Gore won Florida. That election was stolen. And it wasn't by hanging chads, or the butterfly ballot or voter suppression.

It happened in Seminole County where the supervisor of elections allowed Republican operatives to go right into the elections office and tamper with absentee ballots.

There are 5000 or so counties in the U.S.

Hillary won 300.

Land doesn't vote zero, people do.

I think you'd better get back under the porch little feller.

You're just not up to running with the Big Dawgs.

Says the loser.

What the left needs to do is put Keith Ellison in as head of the DNC.

That will work out just peachy.

I'm a Bernie Bro.

I lost my election back in July.

I consider Trump's win a victory for me.

As for the DNC fuck them. I want the Democratic Establishment destroyed.

And Trump is going to destroy the Republican establishment.

The us Bernie Bros are going to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.
