Are you telling me you haven't learned anything you didn't previously understand, in the last 4 years?
Most importantly through, his ignorance and incorrect factual information did not inhibit him for advocating for revolution.
He sounded eerily similar to thoze advocating for it now, and they are at least correct regarding the popular vote margin.
I'm sure you are giving them the benefit of the doubt too, right?

How can you say this? We were right on a 20% prediction (biggest upset in recent history) and were right to appreciate God Emperor Trumps trolling here

Ohh give me a fricking break. To call Trumps platform "fluid" is an insult to water. He's flipped on virtually every position he's held in the last 10 years. Look, I'm hoping the guy does well, but lets not jerk ourselves claiming him to be a bastion of fixed conservative principle.

We will never know who won the popular vote as many states do not count all the votes once the election is decided. In this election, the popular vote means nothing!
I am so sick of hearing, "but Clinton won the popular vote." That is a moot point because what was the point of this election? The game was to get the most Electoral Votes, not to get the most votes. No one, I repeat, No one knows who would have won the popular vote if we did not have the system our wise founding fathers gave us. If winning the popular vote would have been the goal of both Clinton and Trump, then both Clinton and Trump would have played this election in a much different way.
Let me make this easy. In Basketball, the team who wins is the one with the most points. Each basket is worth either 2 or 3 points, with the 3 point baskets harder to make. Team A takes 20 shots, makes 10 but all 10 are 3 point shots, thus they have 30 points. Team B takes 20 shots, makes 14 but all 14 are 2 point shots, thus they have 28 points. Under the rules of the game, team A wins. Team B does not think this is fair because they made 4 more baskets than team A. What was the goal of the game? To make more baskets or to have more points? Lets change the rules and the winner is the team with the most baskets. No one can say who would have won as the rules have been changed. Yes, team B might win; however, team A might make more baskets as they would have no reason to take the harder 3 point shots and thus they would win.
The bottom line is, if you change the rules, who knows who would have won since the point was to win and Electoral votes and not the popular vote. Winning the popular vote in this election means nothing, nothing, nothing because that was not the goal of either Clinton or Trump. It is just like team B saying, I won because I had 14 baskets and team A only had 10 baskets.

It's not worth getting upset about though we've got a candidate who can clearly handle himself . Just enjoy the liberal out rage and know that we won

If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily

The MSM heads are not necessarily exploding because of Donald's tweets per se their heads are exploding because of media disintermediation. Donald is bypassing the MSM filter through social media and speaking directly to the people.
That is causing A LOT of consternation in the media and is a serious threat to their revenue stream.

Well Romney actually lost the popular vote so he as factually incorrect then too. BUT he was a 65 year old man when did not understand the purpose of the Electoral college. BUT more importantly, he was willing to advocate for revolution based on false information (Romney won popular vote) and a misunderstanding of the system we have in place.
And then in 2016 he announced he would run for President...
And Brought about the revolution!
