    Elected with a majority vote twice, something Rump will never do!

    Nope it can't, he can only run one more time. He already failed to get a majority the first time. Obama got the popular vote twice!

    Trump was elected by a majority of electoral votes. I can you haven't heard, that's the majority that is used to pick the President.

    The popular vote doesn't elect the President. If that was the case, Hillary would be President and with all your whining like a pussy, we know that she didn't win.

    same reason that Japan has the Yasukuni shrine even though they lost. To remember your history and honor your dead for their sacrifice. America has a long tradition of honoring those who were conquered to make the country stronger. We still pretend Native Americans are due something for being subjugated in the past for example.

    I never said differently, but the fact is Obama won both the popular and electoral vote twice... Something Rump will never accomplish.

    When Trump wins again, he'll have to do it with a majority of the type of vote that picks a President. Since popular votes don't pick the winner, claiming they mean something is irrelevant. No President in the past nor in the future has to win a majority of the popular vote to win the Presidency. See how that works, NL?

    It matters, just not for who gets to be president. It always results in a weak president. Anyway... he will never achieve what Obama did... no Republican has since Ronald Reagan.

    Those are memorials to the soldiers who fell in that war, not memorials to the confederate cause. But I can understand why this might send a tingle down your leg, you're scared of the confederate threat, right? News flash idiot, it's gone. I also understand that you paranoid bastards LOVE to erase history when it doesn't agree with your version, or your beliefs. Kinda like the taliban doing this:

    And you don't think the Germans and the Japanese have memorials to THEIR war dead?

    The racist ignorant South will never rise again, but we still have a serious threat from uneducated ignorance.

    I'm certainly not against participation trophies. I'd much rather see hrc get one than what she really wanted.

    Uh, to remember their sacrifice? Or maybe you think we should forget those that needlessly lost their lives in Vietnam for no reason?
    Do you also believe we should forget those that died in Korea since that was a draw?
