I am afraid so. Most polls had Hillary going to dominate the swing states. Apparently they forgot to poll the people that lived there.

What they forgot to ask is if they were really gonna go out in vote or stay home and drink cheap vodka. Trump is the least popular president on his first day we have ever seen. We saw the largest protest to have ever happened in the US during his inaguration and the days that followed .That wasn't a product of media shuffling numbers. He hasn't gained an approval rating of over 50% even by fox polls.

The protests are from those on the Left. They are not indicative of the rest of the country.

The size is not indicative of the rest of the country. Factor out CA and NY and you're not left with much. I am done with this conversation, as it is going no where.

The popular vote is irrelevant because winning by popular vote was not the rules of the "game." It's like a baseball team losing then complaining that they had more hits than the winning team. If the president was elected by popular vote than the voting would have been different. Maybe Trump still would have won, maybe Hillary would have won. The point is we do not know. For example, if it was "win by popular vote," do you think Trump would have skipped areas like densely populated California? Of course not. Do you think Hillary would have spent more time in Texas. Sure. So, you see, we really don't know what the result would have been had the rules been "win by popular vote." In this way, the popular vote was and remains irrelevant.

This is not about the rules.

Why do you think third parties run for President? They are not going to win, and they know it, but they do it for a very good reason, and any smart politician from a major party will pay attention to voters that support third parties.

I'll let you figure it out for yourself, but remember Clinton got 65,844,610 votes and only the most brain dead of politicians would ignore that. Those voters don't just magically disappear because Trump got elected.

The BBC has been criticised for being biased. I watch it and listen to it because there are few adverts, but I take what it says with a pinch of salt. You only need to do an internet search on ‘bbc bias issues’ to see what I mean.

I find LBC to be more balanced, if you can stand the adverts.

Thanks for that advise, it seems they all are biased in one way or another, I just try to read between the lines.

Why would you rather throw out entire states to justify an unpopular win? Likewise throw out Texas and Florida and trump wouldn't be left with much, even less popular than trump already is. Tell you what, losing California would be bad for the entire country, they are the tenth biggest economy in the world.

The math does not work the way he thinks, at any rate. You can't accurately measure differences within a population by arbitrarily removing portions of that population. That would be skewing the data to make it show what you want.

You are upset that the Pro-Life march did not get as much press attention as you think it should?

It doesn't seem unusual that a few thousand people marching for pro-life would be ignored for the largest organized march ever in the history of the US.
