    If Clinton had won, it would be because of election fraud. Trump won because the voters turned out in enough numbers to overcome the fraud.

    If the electoral college rebels and hands the it to Clinton, people will be incensed. Very few on either side believe the system is fair and honest, almost all believe it is corrupt, such an action by the electoral college will be seen as the final straw of corruption.

    The "progressives" are the violent ones. Who staged violent events at Trump rallies in order to smear Trump? Who kills cops? Who riots and burns down their own community? "progressives".

    True, the electors are free agents. But if Georgia is any example to go by, each candidate submits his/her list of electors to the Georgia secretary of State. Tuesday's voting was a vote for which slate of electors would be chosen. Trump won Georgia, so it is his slate of electors who will vote on 19 Dec.

    Back in 1996 I was an elector for Ross Perot here in Georgia. If Ross had won Georgia, I would have been one of the electors who would have cast his electoral vote for Ross. He lost, so Dole's slate of electors cast Georgia's electoral votes. True, there is no law here in Georgia which makes it mandatory for an elector to cast his vote for the candidate he was chosen to be an elector for.

    But it is my understanding, some states do have that law, whether or not they do is entirely up to that state. So not all electors are free agents. But you can bet that only a avid and well trusted supporter would be chosen by a candidate to be one of his elector slate.

    Trump won Georgia, the will of the people of Georgia is for the electors to cast their electoral votes for Trump regardless of whom won the popular vote nationwide. The same goes for other states, it is the will of the people of Michigan that they cast their electoral votes for Trump, the will of the people of New York that they cast their electoral votes for Clinton.

    This general election is actually 50 smaller state elections and not one national event. I think each elector ought to follow the will of the people of the state in which they were chosen as an elector. Electors are not chosen nationwide, they are chosen state by state and their loyalty lies with the state they were chosen.

    <Rule 2>

    Although it would have worked out better. About 90% of the countries went for Trump. With two small sections (area wise) going for Clinton. Unfortunately those two sections have the largest populations. So, the state's electors went to Clinton. If the electorates, were no given out winner take all, then Trump would have had far more delegates.

    Gosh man we debate some crazy things and I disagree with the right here quite vehemently on many things such as police shooting discussions.. But this .. This can't even be entertained for a moment by anyone of sound mind. It's shocking in its sheer... Depravity

    Pretty much the whole world is having a meltdown. Try reading some news from outside your bubble. Of course Putin and his cronies where having champaign but that's not something you should think about.

    On another note... The drain the swamp really lasted long?

    Koch lobbyists, Verizon lobbyists and so on and on.
    24 hours... That's how long his promises lasted.... You fools.

    There is only one problem here, and that is the vast amount of Democrat voter fraud in the different states that hasn't been contested by the Republicans since they won the electoral college. Frankly I think they should contest it, especially in states where the machines are owned by George Soros, that way they would insure that it doesn't happen in the next election...

    As an example the Democrats brought exit polling to court with the excuse that it was intimidating the voters even though they had already voted and weren't required to answer. It was thrown out by the judge of course, since the real reason the Democrats didn't want them was because they knew the amount of votes cast in certain precincts would be more than the amount of voters.

    In one important state, there were machines that automatically switched the votes cast for Trump to Clinton and people had to be told to check the machine before they pulled the lever. This was minor though compared to something else. One computer expert figured out how someone could rigg the main computer that tallies all the votes. When they examined the machine they found it it had been set up that way.

    So yes. Your opinion is noted. We don't give a tiny shiny rats hiny about what Europe thinks about our election process of our President. Go cry to the avalanche of Muslims assimilating your beautiful history so a few global leftist elites could get a few votes.

    I am highly suspicious of that claim. Does that factor in all the fake ballots and ballots cast by illegal aliens? I bet it does.

    I know... Post-truth America and all that.

    We will continue to live up to the humanism that is western tradition and I am sure that these people will integrate as they have begun to.
    The few that don't do not stop us from helping the vast majority... We don't live in fear like Trump-voters in his post-truth society.

    Yes of course your right. The right is trying to be magnanimous about this win but what do they get? Pulled out of their vehicles, beaten, robbed and even a mans dog was almost beaten to death, riots, assaults, and buildings burned.

    Maybe someone should tell SOROS who I suspect is sponsoring all this mischief that his old, senile, ugly , elitist ass that if this BS continues? We will force the FBI to investigate and seize ALL his holdings here for being a terrorist

    It's adding up.. MSM ( who he controls ) total meltdown and stoking unrest and violence, then activist groups ( who he funds ) spear heading riots.. And now a petition. Dirty old man we are on to you!

    In 2012 the lie was "Al Qaeda was being decimated and was on the run."

    The other big lie was actually a Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lie about the Islamist Al Qaeda terrorist attack in Benghazi “Some Have Sought To Justify This Vicious Behavior As A Response To Inflammatory Material Posted On The Internet.” and Obama said, I wish I was first to say that, but ran with the lie for two weeks to cover up his other lie that "Al Qaeda was being decimated and was on the run."

    I'm willing to wager right now that every electoral college elector does vote with the popular vote and that Trump will be inaugurated on Jan 20.

    Clinton was ready to launch a war, so thank Trump and his followers for saving Europe from their own stupidity. Now go and learn to live with Russia. :nana:

    As if our resident Orthodox/Russian propagandist has any bearing or weight.

    Go convince some fools... God know you'll find enough of them in this post-truth world.

    Never gonna happen.

    The electors have been following the way the votes were awarded on election night for a couple of hundred years now.

    It's going to take MUCH more than a stupid change.org petition signed by a bunch of sniveling crybaby losers to change that.

    By the way, I'm pretty sure that there is a process in place to change the way the President is selected legislatively. If that's really the goal, perhaps energy would be better spent in pursuing that instead of blocking traffic, burning and breaking (*)(*)(*)(*), and generally just throwing a hissy fit because you don't like the outcome of the election.

    Yes...If he murders someone or something comes out that would disqualify him...but it would have to be earth-shaking IMO. Electors that refuse to vote for nothing other than their personal opinion will most likely lose their political careers.

    That is why Democrats are for Gun Control and George Sorros wants to be able to easily round up any and all Disarmed people that object to his Rule.

    Man, with all of those blue imperfections on that map, the democrats look like the Pox. A Pox on America who like Nero would fiddle as the nation burns. Why do they hate America and what she stands for? Why do they think they can overtly thumb their nose at the law of the land, the rule of law, and be entitled to do that? Why is it when they lose an election they will just not accept it? They are becoming far to contentious and impossible to work with in a nation that either works together or falls together? Why will they go against the way we have always worked just so they can get their way? What in the hell is wrong with these people? They would sow discord over harmony. They will choose hate over humility. They would violently react against an election they did not win. They really should stop acting like they want a totalitarian state that reflects only their beliefs. Their way or the highway. Again, what is wrong with these people? How un-American can you get? Oh, I forgot, they hate America. Or at least the parts of it where their hated enemy lives. They have turned into such a destructive force to a democratic republic. We saw it revealed by wilkileaks and now even Hillary supporters have jumped into the dark side. What the hell is wrong with these people? Would you invite one to dinner for fine food and enjoyable conversation? I just cannot ever imagine them as being enjoyable company. Ha, ha, ha.

    Trump went to three rallies every single day, and each rally had more than 20 thousand people cheering him ...and yet none of the medias were reporting it. Hillary only went to meetings if there were millionaires who could finance her campaign. This shows who would have benefited from a Clinton presidency, and who would have benefited from a Trump presidency.
