You mean the guy that got three million fewer votes than Clinton?

You are aware that the Trump is in the White House and not Killery? And that the US has a democratic system to elect the President in place, and that it's called " the college" vote? Of course, that's not democratic to the watermelons because their candidate lost!"

The electoral college today is nothing like what the founders envisioned. The vision was that college members would be learned individuals who would vote their conscience without outside influence and would choose a worthy and ethical individual to assure that unqualified conmen could not attain the office of the presidency. It had nothing to do with big states vs. little states. Rules and laws have since been applied to the college that it's purpose has been so bastardized it gave us the conman presently in office.

And as has been explained to you before, states don't vote.

So the College system has been just fine until Killery failed in her attempt to gain the WH? Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, and I'm certain you wouldn't complain about it had your candidate or party won in 2016.

If you believe Americans were happy with the electoral college system prior to 2016, you really are ignorant of US politics.

And again you're lack of knowledge of US political systems is letting you down. Since 1988, only one Republican president has won the election by both the popular vote and the electoral college.

Really - the ignorance is stunning. Even Dunning and Kruger would be dumbfounded.

Crimes? They're crimes only to the left who have never accepted defeat in 2016.

Appealing to a foreign country to help your election chances is not only illegal in the US, it's illegal in Australia, New Zealand, France, Canada and pretty much every western democratic nation.

Also, winning an election doesn't give you complete immunity until the next election. That's like getting a job, and being able to do whatever the fuck you want without consequences until your next performance review. Real life doesn't work that way. It's even more ironic that you are spouting this crap as though it is a legitimate argument when you live in a country that hasn't had a single Prime Minister serve out a full term for over a decade.

What a load of bullshit! Says who the Trump was appealing to a foreign government to enhance his election chances, the leftist Dem apologists? And doesn't this prove that the " deplorable" Dems are conceding the 2020 election already? 2016 it was Russian collusion. 2020 it will be Ukrainian collusion.

This article says it all!

“The leftist Dem apologists”? No. A half dozen of so career government employees and documentation from your Trump. And we haven’t even gotten to the good shit yet!

I read half of that article. It assumes the entirety of the American public has been hanging on every bit of Trump’s abuses since he came into office. Actually, they are not assuming that, they know better but they wanted to write you a story they knew you’d want to read. And you did. And you dutifully bobbed your head up and down in agreement and said, “Un-huh, that’s right.”
I would venture to guess no small portion of the American public tunes into CNN for an hour or so each evening, so for them, this in not so much of a rerun.

It would be really nice if you would post quotes instead of just a link. You know, like most polite people do.

Are you saying Sondland is partisan against Trump but gave him a million dollars??? You're not being clear here.

I'm saying he is clearly partisan in Trump's favor. The most damaging testimony came from the guy that was the least "deep state", though definitely swampish.

Would you believe the US Government Accountability Office?

The independent agency, which reports to Congress, said Office of Management and Budget (OMB) violated the Impoundment Control Act in delaying the security assistance for "policy reasons," rather than technical budgetary needs.

"Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law," wrote the agency's general counsel in the report.

You mean you're in after all of sudden caring about polls.

Polls by themselves don't mean anything, but comparisons within polls that are conducted the same way every time, and between multiple election years of the same poll at the same time, can tell you about how different the candidates are from where they were before.

In 2016 at this time, Bernie was about 25 points behind Hillary in the primary. Candidate Bernie from 2016 has become movement Bernie and potential frontrunner Bernie in just 4 years. Imagine what president Bernie could accomplish with that kind of momentum

2016 race also wasn't a clown car.

The newest Emerson College poll shows Bernie within MOE of Biden.

Everybody else far behind. Interestingly Yang is at 8%, but that could be sampling artifact. Still, a poll is a poll. Or at least it would be if DNC were not screwing Yang over yet again by not including Emerson in their exclusive list of approved polls even though 538 grades them as A-. Klobuchar is protected, as is the 1%-wonder Steyer. But Yang will probably not be in the NH debate even though he brings something to the race all these cookie cutter senators like Klobuchar do not.
