Quote from the article …

While these uncounted votes may grow Clinton’s popular lead, they absolutely will not change the course of the election. That math is settled; Trump holds an insurmountable lead in swing states, which turned his popular defeat into a sizable electoral victory. All the votes in liberal-leaning New York and California will not change that.

None of what you said quoted changes the fact the most people did not vote for Trump and more people voted for Hillary than Trump.

If there is one silver lining to Trump’s win, it’s that we don’t have to deal with another 4 to 8 years of ferris posting about Hillary Clinton.

Just need to remind you Dems what a horrid choice y’all made. Blame the Russians all you want, you can truly thank Hillary for Trump.

Anyone who assigns blame for Trump to a single factor, regardless of the factor chosen, isn’t paying attention or is trolling. She won the popular vote by a large margin and lost the three critical electoral vote states by a margin of approx. 100,000 raw votes. The blame, in no particular order, lies with

  • People who voted for Trump (simplified into four groups below)
    – Racists, sexists, and xenophobes
    – Good people who believed a metric ton of lies covering a ton of different subjects
    – People who hated Hillary so badly that they pretended Trump wasn’t worse
    – People who blindly voted “R”

The above remarks are disrespectful to any forum members that have voted for Donald Trump. These “4 groups” are also opinion kaka with no basis in fact or legal print. I wouldn’t normally respond to you but this was just not cool.

blow it out your ear. Frink was absolutely right. Also, I have no respect for those that voted for Trump. Anyone that couldn’t stomach voting for Hillary should have voted third party/independent/write-in.
