Trump Really is Draining the Swamp

The numbers don't back up your assertions, but you go right ahead and believe them.

Hell, Obama did better with Republicans in 2008 than Trump did with Democrats in 2016. Why continue lying to yourselves?

Everything I asserted was 100% true. Obama in fact did do much better with Republicans in 2008 agreed, but he ran against McCain.
even I couldn't vote for him so I stayed home. However the Obama 2008 election never turned 3 states of the other parties domain
like Trump did in 2016. Concede the point!!!!!!

Obama received a record nearly 70 million votes in 2008, something Trump never came close to (despite more people voting in 2016 compared to 2008.

As for why Trump won those states, read this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m-black/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.114b30bcd036

Trump won those states because of how bad of a candidate Hillary Clinton was, that the Democrats own voters couldn't stomach voting for her, so they stayed home, hence giving Trump a razor thin victory.

Kinda like myself & millions of conservative leaning folks stayed home because we could not stomach McCain in 2008. I agree!

not the same, because obama received nearly 10 million more votes than his opponent, while Trump received nearly 3 million less votes then his.

You know btw than that:
Let's go to California where Clinton got all the votes she needs for a plurality:
Clinton 8,753,798
Trump 4,483,810

So Clinton won the plurality one state California by 4,270,000 votes
While Trump won the plurality in the other 49 states by over 1,500,000 votes

The Democrats received over 4 million more votes in California than Trump.
In bizarroville California where people with driver liscenses become voter
eligible how many of the huge waves of illegals since 1980
who are sheltered in this odd sanctuary state voted & how many conservative
who realized their vote wouldn’t matter stay home

you keep up with this crap as if California doesn't matter. It's a state with American citizens who vote. You can't ignore a state because it doesn't suit your political agenda. But even if I go with your nonsense and ignore Cali, Trump still falls wayyyy short of Obama's popular vote victory in 2008. There is no comparison to be made at all. And you act like liberals who live in very Republican states don't stay home because they feel their votes won't matter. Works both ways man.
 
I don't get a boner, the way conservatives do, when the rich are given cart blanc to rob the treasury, when women are oppressed by religious fanatics and diplomacy is replaced by bullying and arrogant bluster.

I don't get how dumb so many of my countrymen are. There's no excuse for their persistent, deliberate ignorance and wealth worship. American conservativism is the entitlement to do the wrong things for the wrong reason no matter who it hurts.

How is that worse than stealing from those who have worked hard to achieve what they have? How is it that you pick and choose certain corporations to hate while letting the likes of FB and Google have a pass?

Oh are the American citizens the only ones voting in CA?
