    "Gingrich: Trump backing away from 'drain the swamp"

    "President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington of corruption, but now that he’s preparing to move into the White House, Newt Gingrich said the Manhattan real estate mogul is looking to distance himself from that message."

    "Trump’s Cabinet and other high-level appointments seem to have deviated somewhat from his “drain the swamp” message. After attacking Democrat Hillary Clinton regularly throughout the campaign for being too close to Wall Street banks, Trump has put three former Goldman Sachs executives in prominent White House positions

    "His transition team was packed with lobbyists for the pharmaceutical, chemical, fossil fuel and tobacco industries. Under pressure, Trump’s team instituted a rigid lobbying ban that prompted some to leave, but the group orchestrating the president-elect’s transition still relies heavily on GOP insiders."

    How long do you think it will take conservatives to realize that they've been played? Then again, talk radio has dozens of demogogues who have been around for decades getting rich preying upon the conservatives naivety

    You think the Obama voters who supported Trump are conservative?

    There were enough to win her the election. There were numerous conservatives who voted for Trump because he was not Hillary Clinton. So no, they weren't fooled because they knew who Trump was

    But not that many "numerous conservatives," if there were we wouldn't be hearing the echo of some kind of supposed movement Trump is leading in the right wing media

    Take out the Northern Provence of Mexico....California and....LMAO. And you act like California is a mandate for the entire nation in spite of the fact that the majority of the STATES went to Trump? Now California represents the entire nation? Why? Because it has more illegal's per capita than any other state in the Union? There are over 3.4 million illegal immigrants in the state of California alone. What was that popular vote count again? You do comprehend the fact that when a census is taken (the stats used to award electoral votes in the Electoral College)....they count heads not registered voters? I say in the near future California might have as many as 70 EC votes.

    Never said "whole day,;" but now that you asked, Fox in the morning getting ready for work, talk radio as part of the dial switch on my drive during lunch, and occasionally when I get time on line the WSJ or Washington Examiner. For laughs, I often check out Drudge, InfoWars, or one of the many similar websites, always worth the entertainment, and it helps me understand where the conservative posters on sites as this are coming from

    Now do you think you'll address the topic?

    The concept you can't understand is that the people in California are Americans, their vote counts just as much as any other Americas's vote does, even the guy in Salina, Kansas, and it cracks me up, every time I see this lame attempt to explain the popular vote the areas and numbers change

    And those votes were fairly represented by the electoral college. What is the problem?

    No....3.4 million people in California are not citizens of the United States they are criminally inside the border of the US...yet they are being counted in the US CENSUS and used in calculating awarded Federal Tax Payer monies as well as growing the districts inside California were they are being counted in the Census for the EC. Its a CON GAME...no wonder they want to hire lawyers (at the US TAXPAYER EXPENSE (its always other peoples money that liberals want to spend) for illegals, they are counting heads with the California politicians being rewarded in using that money to purchase their next term in office by providing more FREE SHIT that is being paid for by the other 49 states.

    I suppose that you have never heard of the one vote one citizen? Or the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution? The entire state of California should be cut off from any form of Federal Aid..until they get their house in order and comply with the rule of law.

    As I said, evil is as evil does.

    No, not all votes count as much as others
    Here's the formula: Take the number of voters in a state. Divide the number of EC votes from a state by the number of voters in the state. You now have the value of a vote from that state.

    Democrats need to move to Montana. Spread yourselves out a little bit. You gotta take it from streets... to the fields. Get Soros to buy up some little town for you guys. He can put in a Whole Foods and a Starbucks at the very least. Make yourselves a little slice of paradise where your votes will have greater impact.

    They've basically admitted at this point that the whole campaign was a con.

    And Corey L. smoothed it over w/ his "Trump's supporters know not to take him literally" thing. Makes all of those who got conned feel special, "in the know," so they ignore what happened.

    A good psychologist could make a career out of this election.
