    Well, based on the method of voting in the US (first passed the post, by state) then he won by a Landslide.

    Seen as there's no competition for the popular vote, Hillary won nothing dumb arse.

    The electoral college vote is just a formality.
    simple question, why did the Soviets modify a air-raid shelter into a gas chamber? what was their intention?

    True. They are supposed to support the will of the people. Also to act as a safeguard against mass hysteria on the part of the public in case they elected somebody like Trump. Not likely though.

    The Republicans have been almost universally pusillanimous, when they do find their balls they'll need to do it in numbers or they'll just be bullied into silence.
    Take Ted Cruz (and many probably wish someone would), Trump said Cruz's wife was ugly and that his father was involved in the plot to kill President kennedy.
    As soon as Trump is elected there's Cruz looking for a job.

    Given that Trump is demonstrably capable of holding a grudge - see the dropping of Christie due to history with Trumps extended family - and the reported desire to back away from better relations with Cuba....
    One has to wonder if Trump's old man was one of the US investors who had property in Cuba nationalised by Castro.

    If he does go back to the freeze, it's a major step backwards.

    What the fucking stupid are you on about??

    The best thing about this election is all the upset confused bigoted ignorant briandead so called liberals that can't fathom how and why Trump won in a landslide.

    The poor dumb cunts are in complete denial looking for any way possible to escape reality.

    They're bunch of shameless twots.

    Electoral college is not entirely even-handed. It would be an interesting exercise to do the same calculation for all states.

    My favourite thing: America's new name: Trumpistan.

    I also find it fascinating that someone who chose the name "yokel" for themselves would be wanking on about liberals and such. You might think that someone called "yokel" might identify with a racist, misogynist, bigoted fuckwit with tiny hands.

    And you would be right, it seems.
