There won't be any stimulus because there will not be any increase in govt spending, except to enrich MIC's investors.

It's actually a killer strategy if you think about it. When in opposition, don't let your opponent pass laws that help the public and blame them for not performing. When in power, pass those exact same laws and claim credit. The GOP could slowly but surely marginalise the Dems at the Presidential level. The only problem is that they can't help but cut taxes, roll back regulations and "spread democracy" for their donors - and that comes back to bite them in the ass.

After Gingrich played hardball with Clinton to create a budget surplus, Bush increased Federal spending (subsidy programs, Medicare part D, military spending). But the 2 tax cuts and 2 wars eventually caught up with him. Now they've held the line against Obama's spending plans and reduced the deficit, in comes Trump with an infrastructure program. Let's see how the rest of it pans out.

I wasn't taking about a "revived base," though. All I said was that Trump and his supporters revitalized the party. Before we even got to the general election, he had already delivered record turnout in the Republican primary and broke the all-time record for most GOP primary votes. In the general election, he turned several solid blue states red for the first time in decades and delivered the most comprehensive Republican victory since the 1920s.

The narrative all election was that the GOP was on the brink of total collapse, they were going to lose at least the Senate if not all of Congress, they were never going to win the general again short of totally changing their platform, etc. Now, thanks largely to Trump and his movement, the GOP is in a stronger position than it's ever been in our lifetimes. How many people voted is completely irrelevant to my point that Trump turned around the GOP's fortunes.

Except I'd say that he didn't revive the GOP as much as he reshaped the GOP. The GOP principles of free trade, free markets, fiscal restraint, Judeo-Christian family values, interventionist foreign policy, etc all got thrown under the Trump train. He got his vote out despite going against GOP orthodoxy. Now you have a GOP house, Senate and VP that have different policies than their leader. Yes the team won as a whole, but their entire platform is an afterthought to what Trump has promised. Should be fun seeing how it plays out.

Clintons popular vote lead surpasses two million.
Source: NYT


With new votes tallied from New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland and California, Mrs. Clinton’s popular vote lead reached 2,017,563 overnight.

Mrs. Clinton’s lead now exceeds the winning percentages of seven presidents, five of whom also won the Electoral College. And it has given rise to a push from liberal activists to demand audits in three states won narrowly by Mr. Trump: Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

mainly it is pointing toward a structural disadvantage Democrats have with the Electoral College: Their voters are too concentrated in the bright blue states of the West Coast and Northeast. Democrats have now won the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections, but lost two of them (Al Gore in 2000, and Mrs. Clinton now) in the Electoral College.

Hillary Clinton has widened her lead in the popular vote to 1.5 percentage points, a spread not seen for a losing candidate since 1876.

Whatever the claim, there is no denying that Putin/Russia, along with Wikileaks, tried to manipulate the US election....this sets a bad precedent for everyone....

No, that's the electoral vote. CNN has the same thing at the top of their page. What I'm referring to is the "Popular Vote" tab that only shows the popular vote. They're projecting that Trump will take the lead once the rest of the votes are counted.

Nice word salad, but it has nothing to do with my post.

The Electoral College exists to make sure that the consumer class in large urban centers on the coasts can't simply outvote the people who grow their food, manufacture and transport their goods, and produce their electricity. It works just fine as intended and doesn't need to change.

I'm pretty sure that the Founders had no idea that California even existed, let alone that it was going to be a liberal haven of "takers" (even though Cali is the largest producer in the country). "The West Coast" back in those days was like the area around Lake Michigan.

The EC is shitty and has been ever since the radio became a widely used device. Now, you can argue that people are reasonably informed about their candidates and can make a legitimate decision on their next president. Yes, the Dems picked a shitty candidate and didn't deserve to win. But the College needs to go, if only to start streamlining the election process and let us more toward things like voting online or throughout the year rather than dealing with the flurry at the end or the voter-suppression laws.

The EC exists because we are a union of STATES. It was the great compromise (just like the house/senate) so that less populated stated didn't end up getting completely ruled by the urban states. The US would have never existed without it.
