    At any rate, you completely butchered whatever point you were trying to make.

    Qualifying Gern-bern!! Congrats!

    are you going to respond to the facts i posted above with the results by each county in CA? do facts even matter?
    See above... Was already determined I butchered the point. I've been penalized 1 hour posting privileges see you in 60.
    So how many of your 'facts' are known to be false by you, and just waiting to be proven as such? Just because Trump does that, doesn't make it any less sleazy of a debate tactic.

    Appropriately, Oxford Dictionaries has named "post-truth" the Word of the Year: "Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief".

    It wasn't false, bad combo of phone-screen dna and possible gmo poisoning.
    Last night at the flyers game the only adult beverages that were offered in the suite were bud light and labatts. As for food it was popcorn pretzels and "chicken" fingers. I had a few gmo laced labatts along with a Franken finger. I took mega doses of turmeric, extra hot cayenne pills and pounded 32 ounces of water with 3 whole squeezed lemons. I'll limit the posting here until I'm fully detoxed.
    I could have searched the arena for non gmo dogfish head or brooklyn but did not want to leave the cosy confines.

    Electoral College Revolt? Dem Electors Seek to Reject Trump, Dismantle System
    TLDR summary:

    "While it is looking like the electoral college may not be able to save us from Trump, the coming disruption might be enough to provoke a real conversation which may lead to important reforms that could keep the popular vote from being ignored once again."

    She lost 85% of the counties in this country but won the so-called "popular vote" by more than 2.5 million. The Electoral College didn't malfunction in 2016. The Clinton campaign did.

    if it were reversed, Trump supporters would be crying a thousand times louder. Trump would be the loudest. He would have busted Twitter by now.

    So you are essentially saying that Hillary supporters are acting like trump supporters?

    Not all but many are. However she herself thus far, at least publicly, has not acted like Trump. Therein lies the difference. He would be publicly and dramatically melting down.

    Probably so, although it's kind of a mute point. "What difference does it make at this point"-HRC. At least she is being consistent.

    I think Trump definitely. I don't think most of his supporters would though. I think they'd be annoyed with him, just like they were annoyed that he wouldn't promise to accept the results before the election or support the GOP if he lost.

    no, I think losers are acting like losers instead of like adults. But I think that Trump supporters would be making a bigger stink because of all his "rigged" nonsense leading up to the election. Not because of who they are or who people perceive them to be, only because of the whole rigged thing and who Trump is.

    I have no issue with people protesting, that is their right. But people complaining about popular vs electoral after the fact is weak. I teach my daughters that you don't bitch about the rules of the game only if you lost. I can't imagine ONE Clinton supporter would be saying "trump is the real president" if it were reversed.

    I think you're pretty much spot on. Always glad to hear that people are teaching their children positive morals and ethics!
