In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

This is such a surreal moment. So weird.

Might I suggest taking this conversation over here: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101650

That seems to be your move. I am capable of fact checking.

 

Unemployment

2008: 6.5%

2016: 4.9%

 

Health Insurance

Premiums have dropped since ACA was passed

 

National Debt

Rose 55% while GWB was in office

Rose 57% while BHO was in office

Poverty Rates

2008: 13.5%

2016: 13.5%

 

But this is the difference between me and most Trump votes (present company included). While you depend on Facebook memes to make life decisions, I am capable of doing my own fact-checking like the educated adult I am.

the national debt rose nearly 100% under President Obama. Forget it, you are right, I am wrong.

I don't agree with Brett often, but in general, he does have a point. When the road to the white house goes through the electoral college, you are going to come up with your strategy to maximize electorates not necessarily the popular vote. We have no idea what would happen if the election was actually based on popular vote...well I kind of do and I hypothesize it would swing even greater to Hillary, but that is mainly because resources would be spend in large cities and a lot of the country would be forgotten.

 

That said, we are a republic and as far as I know that hasn't changed so the rules / laws are what they are. Heck, who knows how many people didn't vote in certain states (repub or dem) even in the current case because they knew their vote woulnd't matter.
