It’s always the maths that gets the GOPers but the Dept of Rationalizations is getting an uptick in business.
Breitbart News blared that Trump won a “7.5 Million Popular Vote Landslide In
Heartland.Reichland ” The “Reichland,” by Breitbart’s definition, was the tally of “3,084 of the country’s 3,141 counties or county equivalents” that voted in larger numbers for Trump, thereby excluding most of America’s most populous areas.
I hear he ddd really well in most urban areas of Russia also!
If you don’t count California and New York…the USA becomes like 6th or 7th in GDP.
If I lived in California–which I did for 15 years–I’d be inclined to say “Hillary won overwhelmingly if you cut off the other 49 states-- which we hereby do.”
I wonder how many of their staff and writers voluntarily live in the “Heartland.”
The stupid. It must really hurt to call yourself a “conservative”.
I’ve seen the same sentiment here many times over the last few weeks. It just never ceases to amaze me how much and how often the far left regurgitate right wing talking points.
Good question 
I hear Kelly Ann has a Dachau somewhere in the Scenic Flint Hills of Kansas.
Not sure why they would even have a need to respond. It doesn’t matter. He won the electoral votes which is the yardstick by which we measure who won the presidential election
Not winning the popular vote must really bother them, I’m guessing
Clinton won if you nix the Old Confederacy! Which action would be more justified? From a strictly patriotic standpoint?
Only 1-in-8 Americans live in California. Why would they count?
Actually, LA COUNTY’S 10+ Million PEOPLE is more than 10 STATES and DC combined!
Maine
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Montana
Delaware
South Dakota
Alaska
North Dakota
District of Columbia
Vermont
Wyoming…
… combined have only 9.8 million.
Trump got 85% of counties? So what? We know weighing LA County (with literally more than 112,500 times the population) the same as the 89 people in Kalawao County, Hawaii is laughable.
Cows don’t count more than people!
Maybe conservatives would gladly let CA leave the US then…we could form a nation with one of the top 10 economies all on our own, and not have to deal with the comping Trumpocalypse. Of course, conservatives gladly take all our tax money while disparaging CA; they have yet to figure out that the big Trump tax cuts are going to leave more money in CA and less to be spread to the red states, cutting their services even more.
Indeed. If you take out the group of states that actually wanted out the Union, you end up with 388 electoral votes in “the real United States.” Hillary won those by 219 to 169 (the only Conferedate state she won was Virginia). And taking out the Confederate states would lift her popular vote margin in the “real United States” by 3.4 million – to a total of over 6.2 million.
Then, the deporables won’t mind one bit if the West Coast just says: “Wank off, red taker states, suckers at the public trough” and leaves the great central pit to it’s own devices.
Viva la Republica de la Pacifica!
Yeah, and Clinton would have campaigned differently, too, were it “based on the popular vote” - thus running up her margins even more. Do you not understand that? Comprende?
One prairie dog, one vote!
They are really annoyed at this development aren’t they? Spinning like a millisecond pulsar.
I do not understand this logic. If you exclude places that went against you than of course it helps. You do not get to pick and chose. The bg states Trump won he barely did. If you drop Texas or Indiana than it would knock Trump further down.
You cannot just randomly exclude states and pretend that they do not matter.
With liposuction … Donnie only weighs 165 ! —
I do not think idea of California secession is smart or in any way viable. I think it would be bad for the country as a whole and for CA specifically (even though CA might fare relatively well after fair secession compared to the rest of the country).
But whenever I hear this talk about Trump winning the popular vote if only CA voters were not included, my first reaction is to request a promise from people with that position that they will be lobbying hard their elected state and federal representatives to approve the secession once it comes.
