Trump 'win' is the worst popular vote performance since 1876

The poor impoverished Southern whites have been voting Republicans for decades, tell me, how has the GOP improved their lives?

Nah - you're completely delusional. Every post of yours on that topic is incredibly over-the-top wishful thinking.

Like I've been saying: this was the "Empire Strikes Back" election for you guys. This is as much power as you will have in any of our lifetimes, and it will not last long. You barely won, and the demographics are changing against you every single day.

And, you elected a buffoon as POTUS. America will not be quick to forgive.

But I eagerly await your advice column tomorrow.

You are the one that is delusional, look around the world and see what is happening in the UK and Europe ffs.

It's a lay up on the jobs front.

Obama set the table for Trump on jobs and the economy. Obamacare---jobs killer. Obama energy regulations---jobs killer. All Trump needs to do is undue much of what Obama has wrought on the economic front and then stand back and let it happen.

Politically, everything else being equal [no major missteps in foreign policy] jobs and economic numbers should improve under Trump.

And when that happens, democrats are going to be in for a tough sell trying to talk voters into going back to Obama era of regulations.

Gender and identity politics have mercifully run their course every where but in the Hyper Blue precincts. Voters in the Rust Belt are over it. Especially, the proverbial angry white males who are sick of being told they are source of oppression.

Democrats can come back, but it won't be by doing what they've been doing. It's no longer 2012. The country has changed.

Stupid people, it isn't regulations that kill oil and coal, it isn't regulations that are job killers, it is corporate greed, automation and an oil glut.

Remove California from the vote and Trump wins popular vote by 1.4 million. That makes Hillary nothing more than a regional candidate.

In addition one has to wonder how many of those California votes are illegal.

They should instigate national ID rules for national elections, it is just crazy to have different ones across the states. They should also ban postal voting, only votes on the day should count except for the military and ex-pats.

Yay! Darth has declared an end to "identity politics," and speaks for 10's of millions of Americans when he says it's over.

I love the "black outreach" line about Trump. Tell me - is that with his incredibly diverse cabinet picks?

More delusion, Darthy. You're really immersed in it. Trump got walloped outside of the white vote.

Yet Trump managed to gain nearly a third of the Latino vote, explain that!

The GOP isn't supposed to improve their lives. They're supposed to get out of the way. See, unlike the democrats, we believe man should be able to carve out his own destiny, not be babysat by the biggest fucking nannies the world has ever known.

Think like a true American, Rana, not like a Jesus hating Communist.

Most are not looking to government for life improvements. Most just want to be left alone to live life as they wish. And right or wrong they view the republicans as the ones who take that approach to government, especially when it comes to things they deem as important.
 
Oops, I see a similar sentiment was posted in response to Rana. That's what I get for not reading the whole thread before posting. Sorry about that.

Hmm. That sounds libertarian to me.

Yes pretty much, the rules are the same throughout the UK. There is no advance voting, except for postal voting which is allowed but all votes are counted on the day. There are more than a few people who want postal voting banned as it is subject to corruption.

It clearly demonstrates that Trump has no mandate, AND, it questions the legitimacy of his presidency ..particularly in light of Russian interference. Historians will talk about it.

More importantly, it fires up his opposition within and without the government. No reason for the opposition to respect nor trust his government.

This isn't just about now, it's about the future going forward
