Rural and union whites voted for him. That's what put the electoral votes over, but gave the popular vote to Clinton. This election was a freak accident, and Trump knows it: have you watched him lately? He walks around like he's in the sights of a rifle. He is sacred - to - death.

I think you meant "scared." ;) And he should be. Don't you remember the immediate sobering effect the Presidency had on Obama?

From David French at NRO:

My more pressing concern is the absurd notion that Hillary is more legitimate because she won a game that neither candidate was playing. Both sides campaigned, strategized, and spent money to win not a popular-vote plurality but 270 electoral votes. If Hillary had reached 270 and without winning the popular vote, not a single left-wing protester would be demanding that electors switch their votes to Trump.

...Here’s a fact: We don’t know who would have won the 2016 (or 2000) presidential races if the president was elected by popular vote because the race would have been run completely differently.

I don't understand what NRO's continuing problem is, but the article title is "Hillary’s Popular-Vote Win Is (Mostly) Meaningless."

Belt in and fly over?

Travelers who don't have a chance to travel to the fly over states are missing the opportunity to meet some fine people. And heartland food alone is worth the visit.

I can't say that I've had smoked pickled carp or mule deer but antelope is mighty fine.
 
The United States is dead... welcome to Republican America.

Pickled carp is a staple in NE bars in winter. In a jar right next to the pickled eggs and small red hots.

Goes well with red beer.

Well, Republican America (the R.A. as opposed to the U.S.A.) is not the same as an "American Republic", jussyin.
 
Remember when people said the GOP was doomed after Democrats took the white house, senate, and house?

Who said the Democrats were doomed? The article simply says that if they keep doing what they're doing, they're going to keep getting their asses kicked, not that they have to forever.

I would point out, though, that it's not just about the House, Senate, and White House. It's also about the fact the Democrats have lost so badly at the state and local levels that it's literally unprecedented in history. No party has ever been as vanquished as the Democrats are come January 2017.

Wouldn't you like to figure out why and see if you can reverse that trend? Or are you content with the way things are? Fine with me either way, mind you.

I was stationed in Nebraska. It was a long time ago. I remember the red hots and the pickled eggs. But the hamburgers, Jesus! My mouth is watering thinking about it.
 
If Trump surrounds himself with more Alt-Right people like Bannon the GOP will likely do some losing.

Pence and Bannon have a great shot at being a great team....one the historians will marvel over.

Lets hold off on the assumptions I think is the best argument here.

Don't you agree, Coldjoint?

Shrub has been doing this for a while.................. about the dying white male thingy.

He has no idea of how the GOP base will be made up by 2060.

He's cashing in all his chips in hope of Hispanics being under the democrat circus tent forever.

More and more Hispanics are seeing right through the lip service of the democrats.
