      Which is why no one is the least concerned whenever it is mentioned that more people voted for Hillary.

          Who's concerned? One merely wonders why it keeps being brought up as if it means anything.

            What it means is included in the statement. Not that hard to figure out.

                I am well aware of what the statement means, as I have a grasp of basic English. How about you address the non-obvious portion of my question?

                    Because we aren't stupid and understand that presidents get elected by getting the most electoral votes.


                    Why don't you go to a sports forum and whine that the baseball team that got the most hits should win over the one who got less hits but more runs?

                      Which is wholly irrelevant since the World Series is won through who wins four games first. In a way, that’s you. Running up the voter tally, in California, isn’t how the president is elected.

                        For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

                        But the "so-called victor" won all four by only a single run -- with one game even going into extra innings, whereas the other team won their three games all by 4 runs or more -- with one game being a 10-1 blowout.

                        • This isn't a trial, it's an investigation. That's what the Democrats keep telling us, right? So why is Schiff starting each hearing by stating a conclusion as if he were a prosecutor giving his closing argument to a jury?

                          What a farce.

                            Which is still not a crime - if it were an abuse of power which it isn't. The President, not Congress, sets foreign policy - as long as he doesn't re-appropriate the funds it's a non-issue - he's within his power as President.

                              Only because Google meddled.
