:rofl2: Yes he DOES.

But you say Hillbag doesn't have a mandate even though she had 3 million more votes .... which IS the leftwing standard for a mandate. :palm:

No - obviously, Hillary can't have a mandate, because she has no power.

You're diluting the meaning of "mandate" by saying Trump has one. You're basically saying that anyone who wins an election has a mandate.

That's redefining decades of understanding on what a "mandate" is. Trump does not have a mandate.

Sorry 'bout that.

That's a yawner.

BigDog, just stop. A mandate is a decisive win. Reagan had 2 mandates. They've been a little thin since then.

Just stop. A mandate is not just being in the oval office.
