So what 47% of non voting registered voters' part in this?
Oh HRC has it made, guess I'll skip it and sit on the couch with a beer and watch the returns.

Who knew that gutting the Voting Rights Act would result in less polling stations with long lines and even longer waiting times? As the Whiner in Chief predicted, this election was rigged. Rigged in his favor, of course.

Anyone who cared to think about it for more than* 5 seconds.
Edited so as not to offend those with short attention spans.

I think all the fascination and rumination over the popular votes misses two things. First, of course, is that it doesn't count. Second is that if it were a popular vote, both campaigns would have been run quite differently with different results (that we will never know).

You're right on both counts.
There is no way to determine how the popular vote would have gone without the electoral college. Both campaigns would have employed radically different strategies.
I didn't fully realize the difference between being in a swing state and a safe state until I moved from Florida to Alabama.
Every election year Central Florida was like a political carnival.
But this year in Alabama it seemed like there wasn't even an election going on.

Reason to be careful what you wish for. Democrats normally have 230 or so built in.

I want the President to be chosen by the people Zero.
You got a problem with that?

Get over it. Hillary lost because the women, blacks, Hispanic's and millennial's opted not to vote and stay home instead. As for rigging.........never mind.
