#1 ...On the other hand, had Malificent pulled out a squeaker of an EC victory with Trump getting a clear plurality in the electoral vote, I don't think she would have been inclined to let him win instead...

#2 The people were counting on us?

It could mean there was a lot of "rigging" too Madame.

#3 228, compared to Trump who got 279

What happened to the other 31 electoral votes (or is it 28? 535, I thought, 538 I read recently).

#4 The Dem media is still in denial over Michigan and Arizona and won't add their numbers to the total (even with 100% of the polls reporting in those states) - a number over 300 looks too much like a landslide in Trump's favor...that is why they report the lower number. Just stating the obvious I guess.

#5 There were too many reports of machines switching votes to Hillary (not one to Trump) to believe the most people voted for Hildabeast.

Trump and Bannion KNEW this was going to happen therefore campaigned in a manner that would flood the system with as many legitimate votes as possible. This shows the Trump team was resilient.

The rest was taken cared of by the brilliant electoral college concept established by the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Little did they realize they were establishing a process that would defeat vote rigging in isolated areas of the country.

#6 A popular vote victory and electoral loss means you ran up the score in places that you didn't need. That's a sign of brainwashed masses and bad campaign strategy (perhaps believing nonsense polls).

#7 Now RJ, in your system (winner take all) the losers (both parties) always claim they had the popular vote. In proportional representation the losers claim other things.

#8 "We lost 14-2, but we stole the most bases"

#9 Just means that the Dems stuffed the wrong ballot boxes. They'll fix it for next time.

#10 I wonder if the 'popular vote' overage corresponds to the Dem fraud and deader vote count.
