2016 Presidential-Election Is Merely A Formality

[Mr. Shaman]

October 26, 2016 - "A growing number of prominent Republican women are worried that as members of their male-dominated party step up to defend Donald Trump against accusations of sexual assault, they are causing irreparable damage to the GOP’s deteriorating relationship with female voters.

“For next-generation professional women, the party is going to have to do something very, very drastic to change the course of where this candidate has taken us,” said Katie Packer, a deputy campaign manager for Mitt Romney in 2012. “I think the leaders in our party are going to have to aggressively reject this. Come November 9, they better be prepared to make very strong statements condemning all of Trump’s behavior.”

Gingrich once had a fascination of his own with Bill Clinton’s sex life, as he was a driving force behind the movement to impeach Clinton following a consensual sexual relationship he had with a young intern. Clinton became the second president in American history to be impeached by the House, but he was acquitted by the Senate. Voters, meanwhile, punished the Republicans for what they saw as an overreach: The GOP lost five House seats in the 1998 midterm elections, which led to Gingrich’s resignation as speaker.

Trump and his supporters deemed Gingrich’s interview a victory, with the campaign’s director of social media tweeting that Kelly is “not very smart” and telling his followers: “Watch what happens to her after this election is over.”

“Congratulations, Newt, on last night. That was an amazing interview,” Trump said at a ribbon-cutting at his new hotel in Washington on Wednesday. “We don’t play games, Newt, right?”

October 27, 2016 - "Donald J. Trump has polarized men and women, with the sexes parting ways to such a degree that Election Day could produce the biggest gender gap in decades.

And now that division is being amplified by a gender war in the Republican Party itself. Men and women are taking sides over accusations of Mr. Trump’s mistreatment of women, with the latest flash point a blistering exchange between Newt Gingrich and Megyn Kelly of Fox News.

Increasing numbers of Republican women have turned on their party’s male leaders for defending Mr. Trump against accusations that he groped or forcibly kissed more than 10 women. Many are complaining publicly that for years they stood up for the party against Democrats who accused it of pursuing a “war on women.” They are unable to do so any longer, they say, and they see hypocrisy in Republican men rallying behind Mr. Trump after the same leaders for years accused Bill Clinton of predatory behavior.

“These are spineless men,” said Brittany Pounders, a Republican activist and political blogger from Houston."

Naw, it's like beating an ass with numb hindquarters. They still don't even

understand why we have the electoral college:

He won more EVs and more states but it gets even better when you take a closer look.

Although the EV has nothing to do with county numbers, it shows that he is what most of America wanted regardless of the popular vote, the EC was created from to prevent dense population concentrations from determining who would lead the country as a whole. Out of about 3100 counties, she only won about 500, he won about 2600.

The idiots that constantly bring up "Hillary got more popular votes" don't understand that concept. I've tried to explain it to those morons using an education analogy and those claiming to be smarter than the rest of us because they're Liberals don't grasp it.

We don't have one overall election, we have 51 separate elections where the results from those 51 elections are added together to get a winner. It's like a student taking 5 college classes. The individual grades in Class A have nothing to do with the overall grade for Classes B - E just Class A. And so on for Class B compared to Classes A and C - E. The only time anything related to the individual classes have to do with each other is calculating GPA, or in the case of the election, determining the electoral college winner.

Well said, thanks.

Well said, thanks.

I've tried to explain it many times that way to those constantly brining up the overall vote total. They don't get it or they don't want to get it. Maybe they just need something to whine about because mommy coddled them when they did as a child.
