That's not quite accurate. The tally of the popular vote has not bee completed. The states count the votes cast on election day or in "early voting" (in the few states that have early voting), but they did not tally the absentee ballots and mail-in ballots, which are not counted unless the election is close enough that the mail in and absentee ballots can change the outcome of the election in that state.

Absentee ballots tend to favor the Republican candidate by 2-1 or even 3-1 margin. So, we don't know what the total tally of votes cast is. If, however, the votes of absentee ballots were even close to the split that we normally see, Trump would far more than make up for the 150,000 or so advantage cited for Clinton.

Hillary would have been elected 55 to 45 and we would have wondered why 45% voted him and dismissed it as a protest.

Nonsense - the polls were showing Hillary well in the lead all the way up to election day. She was supposed to walk away with it. Like HuffPo said, 98% chance of victory. The most cautious assessments, like from Nate Silver's 538.com outfit, gave him only like a 36% chance of victory, even up to Election-Eve. The polls of early voters were supposedly showing that Clinton was running away with it.

They were wrong. They were wrong on Election Eve and they were wrong in August. Unless you have some reason to think that they were way off base on Election Eve, but two months early they had it well in hand, dead bang on? How likely do you think that is? That the media and pollsters were correct in August, but way off base in October and early November?

Yeah she would. Not in naive liberal-land. But back in the real world..
In a world of actual adults, even offensive opinions and slurs are not appropriately responded to with violence.

In lefty-la-la-land, of course, they want to afford themselves the right to slap people who say things they don't like, but deny the same right to others. That's the thing with leftist progressives. They claim to be oppressed, or acting on behalf of the oppressed, and then declare for themselves the privilege to break the law in furtherance of their noble cause.

Slapping won't hurt you. NRA members voted 100% Trump.

I do like my whores to be polite. Much easier to get on with them if we can deal with each other civilly.

As usual, you are just pulling shit out of your arse. The margin at the moment is about 840k - http://cookpolitical.com/story/10174 . And the absentee votes are largely in the democratic coastal states (most notably california) where it is predicted that those postal votes etc will favour Clinton 2 to 1. - http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc ... ow/507455/. She's going to shit it in on the popular vote. The predicted margin will be 2% - or something like 2.5 million votes.

You really live in a fucking bubble, don't you? Go down to you local pub and go up to a group of black people and say "niggers burn in hell". Yes, I'm sure you'll all sit down and have a nice discussion about the truths or falsehoods of such an assertion. :roll:

To be fair the main stream media have been telling the public that Trump is Hitler incarnate. The people who are rioting are gullible morons but when are we going to hold the MSM accountable for the lies that they have been peddling?

The media have done no such thing. They have from time to time pointed out some parallels between what Trump has announced he will do and how that resembles some of the things Hitler has done. For instance, when he announced that he would require all Muslims in the USA to register with a database - yes, that includes American born citizens who are Muslims - the media mentioned the similarity to Hitler requiring all Jews to register as Jews. That is totally reasonable.

Rioters are out of order. Unfortunately you will find them on both sides of any fence. Fortunately, there are not many of them.
DaveDodo007 wrote:when are we going to hold the MSM accountable for the lies that they have been peddling?
The irony is palpable. Trump tells one lie after another. He just can't help himself. Even with little things, like claiming a crowd of 15,000 people attending a rally of his when the venue cannot hold more than 10,000. The media just keep reporting those lies, and in the case of Breitbart and similar outlets, as if they were the truth.

I wonder how Dave reckons the media should be held accountable. Locked up? That's the fascist answer... :coffee:
