Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Trump basically tells us he was lying when talking about draining the swamp.

Trump on his slogan to "drain the swamp": "Funny how that term caught on, isn’t it? I tell everyone: I hated it! Somebody said, ‘Drain the swamp.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s so hokey. That is so terrible.’ I said, ‘All right. I’ll try it.’ So like a month ago, I said, ‘Drain the swamp.’ The place went crazy. I said, ‘Whoa. Watch this.’ Then I said it again. Then I started saying it like I meant it, right? And then I said it, I started loving it."

"You see? It throws everyone off," Noah said. "Because politicians aren’t supposed to be honest with their lying." He added, "You know what Trump is like? He’s like a magician telling everyone how he did the trick. And still some people are like, ‘Wow, magic. It’s magic! Oooh.’"

Well, 2 million more seemed to want Clinton, but, hey, let's not get bogged down in nitpicking. Obviously Nostradamus knew it all from his cave... where we'll all end up shortly.;)

Unfortunately for them that's not how the system works. Which will be of little comfort when the whole mess comes crashing down.

Unfortunately for Clinton her popular vote margin evaporates if you take just 2 cities out of the total.They represented just 4% of people who voted.
Los Angeles county-Clinton + 1.2 million.
The 5 boroughs of NYC-Clinton + 1.6 million.
The republicans control both the House and Senate.They hold both houses of State legislatures + the governor in 25 states,the Democrats in 6.

That will make it harder to shift the blame you'd think. I'm grotesquely fascinated by the possibilities.

Is that a similar % that Bomber Beazley missed the title ?

Doesn't matter much - they both lost!

You talk rubbish. Only 80k votes in 3 states gave Mr Trump the college.

What has that got anything to do with anything?? In areas where they already had the numbers, they got more!! Woohoo!! They are also the places that Trump didn't even bother with because it was a lost cause. It just highlights the fact that they don't understand the basics of warfare. Patting themselves on the back because they managed to get all those extra people out there.. and used all those extra people there to get more out there.. wow. Ever heard the saying "won the battle but lost the war"?

*Mindboggling*

So could you please humour me and explain what "I don't like the company up keep" means?
