The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[Jeff Lebowski]

Since we're talking about constitutional changes, why stop at the EC? Let's join the rest of the democratized world and go all parliamentary democracy. We can get a nominal king or queen for head of state and abolish the executive branch. Elections are easy. Whatever party wins the most seats sets the agenda, and the leader of the party becomes prime minister. Easy peasy.

I'd go for that. It's a nice step in the right direction.

Can we divert attention from AJ's trainwreck of an argument and back to HRC's trainwreck of a campaign for a second?

Flip Michigan and leave the rest of the map, and Trump is still president-elect. But to people who worked in that state and others, how Clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million votes and lost by 100,000 in states that could have made her president has everything to do with what happened in Michigan. Trump won the state despite getting 30,000 fewer votes than George W. Bush did when he lost it in 2004.

Yeah, the Clinton Campaign really screwed up in the rust belt... They screwed so bad I keep expecting to hear a news report that Robby Mook or John Podesta or one of the other key campaign staff members committed suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head and then dragged their dead body to the trash bin.

As long as the king or queen is from Texas, I'm for it.

I'll give you that, as long as the prime minister isn't Texan!

Speaking of Alex Jones, I saw this on his tweeter feed... I thought it was pretty good.

in 2012 without the California 55 electorates, Romney would have won and we never would have had Trump.

Shame on you California.

When it comes to income inequality, It wouldn't surprise me if California is the worst of the 50 states. So much for decades of democrat control.

I think Hawaii is actually the worst. It's not California's fault we have Trump. The blame ultimately lies with people who voted for Trump.

See table 1. You have it backwards. Hawaii = 2nd best (49/50). Kind of surprising.

New York the worst. California #7, Texas #8. Wyoming #3, probably due to Jackson area. Utah right in the middle.

Doesn't seem to be any red/blue correlation.

Trump (and family) meet with America's tech giants.

IMO the biggest problem for the poor isn't "income inequality" but segregation of schools, neighborhoods, churches, etc by income. I think red states like Utah and Wyoming are awesome in that regard.

When you're not just poor and uneducated but you don't know anybody who is NOT poor and uneducated then you are in trouble. That's what I learned from Hillbilly Elegy.

On Saturday he was an Army fan. That makes him my brother. Perhaps you are not a student of my posting history that we have only shared for like 1/3 of my life and I am middle aged, but loyalty is kind of a big thing to me.

BEAT NAVY!

Utah ranks at or near the top in upward mobility.

So, Kid Rock has his own line of Trump apparel just in time for Christmas.
