There are some really dumb people out there.
Talking about the overall popular vote is just stupid when it comes to senate races. Especially when you have a democrat running against a democrat in california and over 6 million people vote in that race.

It is now safe to say Nevada is a deep blue shade. All statewide GOP candidates were defeated save in the incumbent Secretary of State.
The Dems now control both houses in Carson City, the Supreme Court and the Governor's mansion, who is beholden to the unions. Nevada's days as business friendly are numbered. So Texas or Wyoming, those are looking like more friendly jurisdictions to set up shop.
The AG is anti-2d Amendment and pro-Tort law, being part of one of the most lucrative PI practices in the state."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

We elected a sociopathic mob boss that save for hundreds of millions he inherited from his father would instead of in the White House, probably be in prison somewhere if he'd been born into a normal family.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View PostPeople ask Trump about how he can lower the political temperature (in light of recent killings) how he can be a moral leader and how he can heal the divide in this country and he launches into a speech about how well the economy is doing.
The dude never fails to disappoint in his role as a purely materialistic, self-aggrandizing fool.

technically the presidential popular vote isn't a thing under our system either. I chuckle now when I think of the question in my 10th grade history class back in the 80s about what if the president got elected without winning the popular vote. It had happened like just a couple of times in the country's history to that point, but not for at least 100 years. The teacher said that yes it was possible but couldn't imagine that it wouldn't be changed if it happened again. And while everyone who knew the Constitution knew it could happen, the concept at the time seemed really strange.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI have this all over twitter today.

They're kind of the same right?

John Quincy Adams?
Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and plurality of the electoral college. JQA won in the House of Representatives. He served a single term before Jackson was elected for real."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"
