Every vote already counts the same.

Are you the guy who also came up with the solution to energy issues?

Just so we have this straight - the above bolded parts will all be charges filed against Trump?

..and to complete the thought...the GOP nominates disasters, the nation votes against them, but the electoral college puts the losers into office. It's a perversion of democracy. Democracy worked, but human design failed, twice.

Getting rid of the electoral college would let democracy do its magic and would prevent the trumps and bush2s.

In other words, my candidate lost and now I want to change the rules.

Your diatribe neglected to mention that the electoral college also gave us Obama. Just as bad, if not worse, POTUS as Trump and GWB.

What less informed people like agip don't understand is that there is a strategy to winning the Presidency.

The Trump campaign knew that it was impossible to win certain states - CA, for example. Why would he spend time campaigning in those states when it didn't matter if he lost by 1 million votes or 4 million votes. The outcome on the electoral college would be the same - 0 electoral votes.

Someone with a competent campaign like Trump would certainly have changed strategies if the rules were different. I have my doubts that HRC would have changed tactics. She seemed like she was campaigning for the popular vote. Perhaps, someone should have clued her in on how it really worked.

Agip, Flagpole, FH, etc. want to change the rules after the game is over. It is akin to changing the number of points a field goal or free throw is worth in basketball after the game is played in order to fit your narrative.

For president, every vote does NOT count the same. A vote in a purple state swings the outcome more than a vote in a deep blue or deep red state. The electoral college is an inherently unfair system. You can Google the it and see the math. I'm right about this.

And yes, I'm the energy guy. Other nations are starting to kick our butts in free energy. India and China are starting to build huge solar plants. Once these are in place they pay for themselves in a few years. After that, they basically get their power for free. If the United States doesn't get in on this we will be at a huge economic disadvantage.

Because you can't. Going on three years of looking like a fool, pal. With no end in sight.

Think back to how bad@ss you probably thought you were when you were saying "Trump has ZERO chance." LOL!!

FOX morning show says if the MSM reports the news “the way he wants” he would get off their back. Great standard. FOX = lapdog not watchdog.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Brother, you have steel hands. The proverbial short position you have against Trump is truly incredible. Even ardent Trump critics are prepared for him serving out a full term. The metaphorical margin call you're getting in the meantime arrives daily in the form of loonies, crazies, and sometimes people with good dissenting points. Good luck, but remember, America can stay irrational longer than you can stay mentally sane.

The only clown involved here is Mueller. He's the one going down.

I looked it up. All votes are equal.

What is this “free energy” you speak of?

This thread is entertaining as usual. Between flagpole's the clown is done and epic flagpole's clownpolian retorts there is something for everyone.

Any sightings of DiscoGary/Black Rifles Matter lately? Seems he's off forming a militia or something, but I laugh at him the most. Miss the daily rants and whines.

I think DiscoGary may have been one of those right wing domestic terrorists that was arrested recently and now cannot access Letsrun.

American troops sent to the border are forced to watch out for right-wing militias run amok

LOL . . . Trump's forces and right-wing militias will end up shooting each other. The warning to watch for the right-wing militias psychos comes from the Pentagon and Home Land Security.

You obviously didn't look it up.

Energy from the sun is free. Nobody has to pay for sunshine. Solar power keeps getting cheaper and cheaper.

If Hillary had stepped foot in MI, WI, OH and PA and said anything resembling "I too care about the middle class working folks" rather than depend 100% on identity politics, you wouldn't be saying a thing about the popular vote.

It. Doesn't. Matter.

At all. Ever.

Never.

Like Mueller. Never.

Clownpole though? yeah, that's forever.

Great topic Rigged - care to explain to us how Trump did not 100% exploit identity politics?

Nope, not me. I like to post under my registered handle but I am proud that others here are repeating my mantra:

Mueller never

Clownpole forever

Andrew Gillum- candidate for FL governor is as far left as it gets- a maximum socialist.

One of his campaign aides called FL a "cracker" state.

DeSantis has been trailing in the polls until this week.

If you are asking about the "caravan" that's a non issue. Most are not likely to reach the US. Nearly half of them have already decided to apply for asylum in Mexico.

As for the immigration policy in general, this is what we need. But it died in the House five years ago.

If everything else Trump said didn’t do it, this caravan bs certainly confirmed his fear mongering. There is absolutely nothing new about this migrant stuff, every day hundreds try to cross the border - nothing has changed and no immigrant is coming to take over the US. You have to be completely stupid to believe it, but I can see why any racist or hardliner will just go along since it serves their wishes.

I said clearly what I meant...Mueller's report will show that Trump did these things. The House WILL take that report and WILL impeach him, and I have long said that Trump will face conviction by the Senate but will likely resign before they do it (though no guarantee on that from me...it would not surprise me if he makes the Senate convict him).

As far as legal charges go, we will have to see if Mueller or someone else wants to indict him. I do not think Mueller will indict him while he is President, but it is very possible Trump will be indicted after he is out of office.
