As an "Independent Conservative" I MUST vote for the most conservative party in the midst. That happens to be The Republican Party. What's so difficult for you to figure out? If there was a more conservative party, that, had a chance of winning, I'd vote for them. Basically, we only have a two party system. I would never vote for a liberal cause/person. I'm of the opinion that all true believers (Christians) ought to cleave to the most conservative causes/leadership. Liberal causes/leadership is for those who don't stand for godly ideals.

One would think liberals would stand up for citizens who have fallen through the cracks, financially, etc. The Democratic party has become corrupted over the years. The Democratic party was different (In my own opinion) forty to fifty years ago. It would almost appear as if JFK were alive today, he would have leaned more to the right. The same goes for RFK. My own Dad grew up in the "Great Generation" and was a Democrat his entire life. Having served in the Marine Corp in WW2, he extremely patriotic and conservative, although, always voted Democrat. If he were alive today, I speculate he would have been a Conservative Republican. In the 1950s he took a guy by the seat of the pants and nape of the neck and literally threw him out of our house for spewing communist propaganda. My Sister has always told people: "My Dad was like John Wayne"
Disgusting at best.

I'm of the opinion that any real Christian would have not voted. You voted for a smut peddler that owns casinos and strip clubs, that's an adulterer, on his third or fourth wife. There's nothing Christian about lending your support to that. Donald Trump living openly and unrepentant in this filth and makes money from it would not have been permitted to be in the Church if Paul was still on the earth. But he's good to run the country? Give me a break.
I think I'll respect your comment: "Give me a break" and ignore you from now on. How's that for a BREAK?

You said it was your opinion that "real" Christians should support a strip club and casino owner. Please do ignore me. Sorry I offended your religion. I'll be more careful about criticizing Republicanianity.
With Putin?
You mean people in the Republican party. Which is different.
:think: So if she won the popular vote by three million plus would it be a bigger or smaller trouncing? I'm trying to get a sense of how Trump math works...and what it will mean to the Common Core.
And concentrate on the unpopular vote?
lain: What's the weather like in your mind?More seriously, there's literally no objective support for that...so I'm looking for a Trump tweet in support of it any ol day now.
At gerrymandering?
A triumph of land over hands.

more accurately the republican party has a mandate for change with Trump being the much needed final piece to push forward on the conservative agenda.

pot head Californian voters gave Hillary the poplar vote. Republicans simply don't have an answer to very liberal and populous state, even Texas doesn't have the same level of Republican support as liberals have in California, assuming illegals didn't vote.
I have watched the full election night coverage from every network possible. Twice. I can't get enough of it, it was the most exciting night of my life !!!
If there were good evidence of cheating or over-counting in favor of Democrats in a state that Republicans won, why do you suppose Republicans and the Trump campaign sued to stop the recount? Shouldn't we go ahead with a recount if it has the potential to uncover fraud? For that matter, what makes you so sure the discrepancy was due to pro-Clinton cheating?
Almost as many Californians voted for Trump as Texans, going by the absolute headcount. It's just that California has a lot more people who aren't deplorable, too.
Bottom line, you can't claim a mandate while losing the popular vote, especially with a lackluster electoral college advantage. Trump's only mandate is to try not to break anything too badly, but I suspect he's going to fail at that.
With Putin?
There's a recent poll out, suggesting that Republican approval of Putin has "skyrocketed" recently, up to 36%. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...arity-republicans_us_58518a3ce4b092f08686bd6e
In other words, Vladamir Putin is now three times more popular with Republicans than the Republican-lead Congress. http://www.gallup.com/poll/186581/c...e=Politics&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles
Can you explain this? How was Trump the final piece?
The popular vote is irrelevant for deciding the election but it can be relevant to the question about who has a mandate. When the winning candidate won with less votes than his opponent it seems hard for that person to claim he has a mandate.

Trump is the final piece in the sense that rebulicans have majorities in both state and federal legislative bodies and now will no longer have to fear a presidential veto or out of control executive actions that curtail the conservative agenda at all levels. All of this counts as a Republican mandate since a mere 8 years ago democrats were in full control of everything.
