You make the same statement about Senate representation no doubt. A moronic argument indeed.

You can't have 3-5 cities controlling the presidential election.

Do you really want to use that argument? Because we can go down the New York and California trail as well if you want.

Learn how to lose gracefully. Seriously.

People will argue this forever since there is no official definition of a landslide, but consider this.

Hillary's entire pop vote lead was in California. California has, by far, the most ec votes in the usa. Even if you were to allow HRC to double cali's ec votes, she still loses to Trump by 22 ec votes.

Okay - maybe "landslide" is too strong. It was a competitive election - along the lines of Obama v. Romney, Nixon facing 2 candidates in 1968,JFK v. Nixon, or Truman facing 2 candidates in 1948.

2016 was a comfortable win in a competitive race - not a true "landslide" like Reagan v. Mondale in 1984, Nixon v. McGovern in 1972, LBJ v. Goldwater in 1964, or either of Ike's victories, frankly. None of those opponents cracked 3 digits.

Still cannot stand Trump. Wish I did not have to vote for him. But facts are facts. A neophyte with no political experience beat the Clinton machine handily. Yet rather than accepting defeat with humility and grace the Left continues to trot out arguments like this. You complained that Obama was not treated with respect in 2008 (though you can only cite an obscure reference to the Republicans in Congress saying they were going to stop him), and yet you have nothing to say about this? It is pretty pathetic actually. Trump is the President-elect. It is time to accept it. Practice what you preach.

Throwing out this state or that city that we don't like in an effort to make some hypothetical point is moronic, yes.

Trump isn't helping by even attempting to rub it in. Just another example of him being a divisive clown.
Trump is going to take Obama's pen and phone to all those Obama EO's . . . they are gone.

Not a matter of rubbing it in. It's more a matter of rubbing it out.

Nothing to say about what? You seem offended that losing the popular vote is even news... It would have been regardless of who benefitted. Clearly it is of *some* interest given that the front page is littered with threads discussing it.

Are you an obtuse, butt hurt loser or just ignorant of history?

Perhaps both.

2016 election was a landslide.

The 2016 melt was a fricking tectonic shift.
