I don't think those crying about the popular vote are smart enough to recognize that simple truth. If the election was about popular vote, Trump's strategy would have been different, and he most likely still would have won.
The media tried to brainwash the viewers. It did work to some extent. Hillary did win the popular vote. But ultimately, the best candidates won by concentrating on swing states intensely.

hmmmm....so you guys would have rather not known that the DNC ed over Bernie Sanders?
Having a weird feeling one of Trump/Putin will get taken out by deep state actors in both countries in next 4 years (coup/assassination/impeachment etc..)..this is just getting started..
They touch him and we will burn it all to the ing ground. this isn't the 1960s where they can sweep an assassination under the rug. It'll get drug out into the light and they'll be put down like dogs
"we will burn it all to the ing ground"
you less tiny punk, you won't do , other than Macho Man fakery on Internet
Look who's talking!
hypocrisy at it's finest!
The Republican party has come full circle this election
After years of criticising Obama for being soft on Russia, making excuses for a Russian puppet because he pretends to be on their team
After years of posing as the party of national security, slamming the NSA and CIA because they pointed to Putin being Chump's puppet-master
After years of slamming the Dems on the national debt, cheering the Orange Calf's tax giveaways and spending plans
After years of espousing small government and free markets, rooting for crony capitalism and government intervention
Just change the party symbol to hammer and sickle already
Trump trashes CIA, dismisses evidence that Russia helped him win presidency
Trump said this week, as he has said for months, that the intelligence community’s findings were politicized and that he doubts Russia was behind the hacks. Hearing Trump’s denial, retired general Michael Hayden, who ran the CIA for much of George W. Bush’s second term, said:
“To have the president-elect of the United States simply reject the fact-based narrative that the intelligence community puts together because it conflicts with his a priori assumptions. Wow. The data matters. He continues to reject the Russians did it… and claims that it was politicized intelligence.”

The Repugs are blaming the CIA/NSA for the LIES from dubya, head, feith, rummy, condi, etc to invade Iraq for BigOil?
Repugs really depend on your Repug assholes being ignorant, stupid, gullible heads.
Founding Fathers Say Russia Election Interference Means Electoral College Must Reject Trump

Harry Reid: ‘New Edgar Hoover’ FBI head Comey needs to resign and be investigated for hiding Russian hacks
Saturday morning, outgoing Senate Minority leader Harry Reid said FBI Director James Comey should resign immediately and face a full Justice Department investigation for sitting on information that showed the Russians were interfering with the 2016 presidential election.
the Nevada Democrat said the recent revelation by the CIA that they have had evidence for some time now that Russian hackers were trying to pave the way for a Trump presidency was something Comey was aware of — but kept from the American public.
Asked if he believed that Comey had the information and withheld it, Reid answered, “That is true,” while also referring him the “new J. Edgar Hoover.”
“This is not fake news.
Intelligence officials are hiding connections to the Russian government. There is no question,”
Reid said.
“Comey knew and deliberately kept this info a secret,”
Reid also called upon the U.S. Senate to launch an investigation into Comey’s actions before the election.
“I think he should be investigated by the Senate. I think he should be investigated by other agencies in the government, including the security agencies,” Reid said, before bluntly adding, “If ever there was a matter of national security, it is this.”

Senate Dem Leader: Intel Community Must Hand Over Info On Russian Hacking
The incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election, and said it was "imperative" that the intelligence community handed over relevant information. His statement comes after the Washington Post reported Friday that a secret CIA assessment found that Russian actors had sought to boost President-elect Donald Trump over his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
“Reports of the CIA’s conclusion that Russia actively sought to help elect Donald Trump are simultaneously stunning and not surprising, given Russia’s disdain for democracy and admiration for autocracy.
The silence from Wikileaks and others since election day has been deafening,"
Schumer said.
"That any country could be meddling in our elections should shake both political parties to their core.
Senate Democrats will join with our Republican colleagues
next year ?? WTF ???
to demand a congressional investigation and hearings to get to the bottom of this.
It’s imperative that our intelligence community turns over any relevant information so that Congress can conduct a full investigation.”

McConnell gave Russia the green light, refused to sign on to protecting election
With Russia identified as the agent behind DNC email break-in, the prime suspect in carrying out thefts of private emails from Democratic insiders, and actively trying to do more, President Obama put out a call for a bipartisan agreement to protect the election from Russian hacking.
In a secure room in the Capitol used for briefings involving classified information,
administration officials broadly laid out the evidence U.S. spy agencies had collected, showing Russia’s role in cyber-intrusions in at least two states and in hacking the emails of the Democratic organizations and individuals.
And they made a case for a united, bipartisan front in response to what one official described as “the threat posed by unprecedented meddling by a foreign power in our election process.”
Democrats were quick to sign on.
The Democratic leaders in the room unanimously agreed on the need to take the threat seriously.
But there were
at least two Republicans who wouldn’t agree. Chief among them, the Republican Majority Leader in the Senate.
According to several officials, McConnell raised doubts about the underlying intelligence
and made clear to the administration that
he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.
Why would a US Senator refuse to join in an agreement to secure an American election? Because McConnell had something to gain.
Mitch McConnell followed exactly the same line as Donald Trump, proclaiming the evidence insufficient and claiming that even talking about the involvement of a foreign power that had broken into the email server of an American political party and distributed select pieces of that email for political purposes was “partisan.”
What did McConnell get for toeing the Trump line?
After the election, Trump chose McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, as his nominee for transportation secretary.

Trump's national security briefings must be hilarious to listen in to. He's publicly stated that he doesn't believe the intelligence guys - what kind of decisions can he take if he doesn't believe the agencies reporting to him? The CIA must be praying that he gets bored and he hands this off to Ivanka while he goes around the country doing rallies and real estate deals.
"DNC ed over Bernie Sanders"
Don't need Russians to tell me that.
Bernie is not a Dem, no way DNC/Clinton machine would let him be the candidate.

unpopular? Hillary won the POPULAR vote by nearly 3M.![]()
Russians dont respect Obomba or ler. They seem to respect Trump thou
Put random face in GOP slot, random face in DNC spot and the vote will divide similar to how it did in this election. Give that face some unique qualities like being black or Hispanic, female or "rebel" and the vote can swing a little one way or the other. Put media on full bore bias one way or other and it can have small effects, negative or positive. Mostly, it's a party line thing which is why 3rd party folks really don't have much of a chance.

The entire point of Dems creating superdelegates was to rig the candidacy against any more McGovern or Carter outsiders.
He's not much different than other POTUSes except he reveals his thoughts publicly while others don't.
Trash is extremely ABnormal, but keep trying to normalize him.
We're going to be homies again

You're extremely abnormal. Trump is very common. You'd find more people like him than like Pence.
