    Why are you now taking out the key sentence that begins that paragraph?

    That's why we have the EC so three or four liberal infested states aren't speaking for the entire nation. It's funny, we keep going over this but the Libby's just can't grasp that their are actual "People" living in the middle of the country they honest believe their the only ones in the whole wide world.

    I just find it interesting that the last two Democrats in the WH received BOTH the highest number of popular votes AND the vote of the Electors - but the last two Republican's could only get the required number of electors.

    Why do Republicans have to rely on a rigged system to make it to the WH these days?

    So you are another person who believes that some Americans are less worthy of having their voices heard just because of where they live ... what, are they 2/3 of
    a citizen in your eyes? Now where have we heard that before?

    There is the jiff of it, Liberals don't recognize "Country" all they see is "ME" and others like "ME" no one else exist, and the federal Government makes money for them and their social programs :roflol:

    Hey - the last two Democrats in the WH received BOTH the highest number of popular votes AND the most Electoral Votes ... seems to me that this is more inclusive than the last two Republicans wins when they could only swing the required number of Electors ... so I'm going to point out that your post BS.

    Because what is actually being quoted is more definitive. The part you are referencing is just the author's commentary.

    Republicans are very smart. My whole family is Republican and we have 3 members who went to college and received an associates degree. Not that it matters to you guys because you always think you're better than everyone else which is why you guys fail to steal many Republican votes. Nobody wants to support a party that makes them feel stupid or deplorable. Keep playing the "poorly educated" card and see where it gets you in 2020.

    To be clear Hillary won the popular vote do to the many Latino's in this country voting to stop the great wall. They don't necessarily want Hillary as president and some of them have admitted to not trusting her. Trump won most of the white voters in our country and claimed more than 80% of the counties in our country. Trump won the EC.

    Edit: Based on the Trump/Pence signs I would guess 90% of all farmers in Iowa are Republican. You don't need to go to college to be a farmer and they supply this country with a lot of food. So Republicans feeding America does more then a bunch of Democrats who go to college and do nothing with their degrees.

    Exactomundo. If there's one thing the current crop of libruls is good at, it's projection. They're myopic to their own faults but attribute them regularly to their opponents.

    Did you contact the author and confirm that they feel those sentences are more definitive?

    Yes, and we've seen that quite a bit during this election cycle. Liberals talked a lot about the right wing becoming violent and not accepting the election results. Look at what happened - left-wing riots and active attempts to sabotage the election results.

    I believe you have that backwards Sir ;) Clearly Liberals believe if they can infect 51% of a large states population they should be able to cancel out six smaller states! Get used to it, the libby's want to congregate that's fine, you have your share of the electoral, but unless you win the mood of the nation it doesn't speak for the for the nation! And if you think it's going to change anytime soon then you are as mistaken as you were about a Clinton shoo-in.

    Best advice, time to start a grass root movement, so start gathering up those primpy, soft handed brethren, put a shovel in their hand and send them out to heart land to plant tatters, pave roads, shovel stalls in temperatures below zero and above a hundred.

    But it's rather pathetic that Trump couldn't put together a coalition of Americans to get more popular votes that a terrible candidate like Clinton ... both of the last two
    Democrats who won the WH could. Both of the last two Republicans in the WH could not. Sad and pathetic.

    But for California Trump won the popular vote.
    If the popular vote mattered Trump would have run a few ads in NY, CA and IL and run up the popular vote to a landslide.

    Let's see, the author posts that the results may apply to other cultures, and then they produce a quote that states that they expect similar results in other cultures. It paints a pretty good picture that the results they found inside Israel would apply outside of Israel, as well, which is the exact opposite of what you were arguing.

    I'll ask again, is there anything inside that article that would support the idea that these results only apply to Israeli's? Do their brains work differently than that of other humans?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh well, I'll guess he'll just have to settle with being President.

    Dude - I worked for 28 years solid - so you take you holier-than-thou attitude and use it as a rectal thermometer.

    And I think that Republicans have forgotten how fast the country turns on them when they are in the driver's seat ... Bush, 28% approval rating. Great recession of 2007.
    Have fun, dude.

    It's unfortunate how Clinton's mortgage bubble blew up on Bush's watch, after years of Republicans predicting it. I think liberals should get the blame for stupid liberal policies, like lowering the lending standards for millions of unqualified borrowers and throwing them all into the market at the same exact time, don't you?

    Bill Clinton's drive to increase homeownership went way too far
    Add President Clinton to the long list of people who deserve a share of the blame for the housing bubble and bust. A recently re-exposed document shows that his administration went to ridiculous lengths to increase the national homeownership rate.
    http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/hotproperty/archives/2008/02/clintons_drive.html

    Minorities' Home Ownership Booms Under Clinton but Still Lags Whites'
    It's one of the hidden success stories of the Clinton era. In the great housing boom of the 1990s, black and Latino homeownership has surged to the highest level ever recorded. The number of African Americans owning their own home is now increasing nearly three times as fast as the number of whites; the number of Latino homeowners is growing nearly five times as fast as that of whites.
    http://articles.latimes.com/1999/may/31/news/mn-42807

    HOMEOWNERSHIP AND ITS BENEFITS - 1995
    At the request of President Clinton, the U.S. Department of Housing
    and Urban Development (HUD) is working with dozens of national
    leaders in government and the housing industry to implement the
    National Homeownership Strategy, an unprecedented public-private
    partnership to increase homeownership to a record-high level over the
    next 6 years.

    Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
    In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

    The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.


    http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-mortgage-lending.html

    Bill Clinton, Home Wrecker
    "I want to target new (housing) markets, underserved populations, tear down the barriers to discrimination wherever they are found," Clinton said. "We have to do a better job of reaching the underserved; of eradicating discriminatory practices that prevent minorities from finding, financing or buying the home of their choice.

    "We can widen the circle of homeownership beyond anything we have ever seen," he added.

    Indeed, Clinton's policies for the first time threw millions of previously unqualified buyers into the mortgage mix, fueling an unprecedented housing bubble.

    Yup - President* - it will read in the history books. One who couldn't put together a strong popular vote and the Electoral vote like the last two Democrats in the WH.

    Pathetic dude. Bush had seven years clear up the mistakes of Clinton. You're as pathetic as the Obama supporters who blame Bush. Pathetic and sad, dude.

    Not likely. Just like lists of Superbowl Champions. Nobody really remembers the score. Just who won. For the most part, nobody even remembers who lost.
