...with the turmoil in these cities I could see a lot of urban votes moving his way. That plus a nudge in the black vote and the general lack of interest in Joe...and it could happen.

I know it’s not the big prize but if he could do it, imagine the melt from all of the blue states that passed laws to award their electoral votes to the popular vote winner.

HooLeeShit!

It would be even funnier if certain states wanted their popular vote to take their electoral votes

Those laws will somehow be suddenly nullified. They never happened.

Some of them have precautions built in where the say stuff like, only if it will decide the winner....

They are hedging their bits and don't want to Trump to get their electorials while losing their state.

Which is why it’s so important to go vote even if your state is solid red.

Other states are relying on your vote.

Why would places experiencing lots of turmoil under the Trump administration in cities drive the urban vote his way?

If it happened, Democrats still wouldn’t learn anything from it. They will just say it was because they had an old white man running.

I’m not sure it’s likely but the melt would be glorious.

Democrats would immediately file federal lawsuits to nullify the state compact the first time it didn't go their way.
Even though it is a compact between states that are run by democrats

He's going to win the popular vote. He's going to win the electoral vote and after it's over when the left goes bat shite crazy rioting in our major cities he's going to send in the military to kick arse and take names and wipeout these marxist/communist mother frickers once and for all.

Hard to imagine when California votes 61/39

Hillary's 3 million popular vote victory came from California alone.

As a mater of fact she won California by over 4.27 million votes.

Popular vote California Hillary 8,753,788 Trump 4,483,810

Adam Curry predicted that he would win the popular vote on his podcast the other day. I don't think that it'll be Reagan/Mondale, but I think that a lot of people(Dems) will be shocked by the outcome.

A few weeks ago, this push for mail in voting had me pretty worried that they could possibly steal a few key states. But the RNC left me feeling like Trump is going to crush it.

Because the Dem leaders in those cities aren't doing jack about it right now? They have until Nov 4th to get their shite together.

He offended to end it immediately and the Democrat mayors let the city burn for a lack of a better term. “Urban” people raise families, start business, and own homes like everyone else. They don’t want their hard work destroyed.

Because anyone paying attention knows that Dems have endorsed these protests and by default riots..... and refuse to do anything to stop them.

It’s really not hard.

And no, the “this is a Trumps America” is only bought by the stupid. You can’t start shite and then try to blame it on everyone else.

There is no national popular vote! We have a presidential election that consists of the results of the popular vote of 50 individual states. Each popular vote is completely independent of the other.
