I heard that quoted on the radio on Friday, but I also just found this:

Millions may have voted for him, but more voted for Hillary.


Yes true but you delight in leaving out the obvious. The electoral college rules. It will change in the future maybe but, the presidency was fairly won within the current rules. Inconvenient I know.

Saw this at yesterday protest in New York

That's him. Were the figures and sources he put up wrong.

Well there is another info graph doing the rounds telling the opposite story so who knows which is right. Probably neither to be honest, I suspect that the stats have been manipulated to tell a story by both sides.

If I cared enough I would go to the sources and verify it for myself.

Is it, i have not seen any facts to back that up. I am open to seeing credible sources though .

Why don't you GOOGLE it? Is it that hard? Talk about lazy.

And then you post memes and link to shady blogs to back up your arguments on here

Strange when I am asked a question I am demanded to answer it, so next time can I just say Google it, that ok with you is it.

At least Trump managed to get thousands of fat women out walking and exercising, something Obama could not do in 8 years.

You talk about US presidential approval ratings as if they are some kind of super scoop from a mysterious source, rather than the ordinary, everyday news that anyone has access to, that it actually is.

'Credible sources'

 

[alfredmizen]

I'm not sure if that statement is ignorant, racist,sexist, irrelevant or all of them.

How on earth is that statement sexist or racist ? I am seriously interested in how you've come to the conclusion it could be either .

 

[alfredmizen]

She's 53 and one of the most powerful women in the world. She probably keeps fit too.

She saw 53.and has no real power at all.

If the are collated by the same people who ran the pre-election polls they are worthless numbers.

And what is wrong in brining jobs back to your country. What's is wrong with buying goods manufactured in your own country,

Nothing whatsoever. But to do so you have to deal with what caused those issues in the first place.

The rust belt isn't a symptom of the last 8 years. It has its roots on the reaganomics or the 1980s

The globalisation is about buying things for less. If he creates jobs in the US it will be because people can afford to invest in manufacturing in the US. That also means people will buy it because it's competitive to imports. Either because imports go up in price due to tariffs, or are blocked, or because us staff earn low wages or us incomes get higher (or a mix of all 4)

To do that will be a hooj (to quote the Donald) task. And I don't think he has the unity behind him to achieve that.

The national polls were right. Clinton did get 49% of the votes.

It's odd that Americans have elected a President who's entire life has revolved around making money for himself at the expense of others and is now tasked with the job of making money for others at the expense of himself. Major career shift for Donald, at least The Pope is usually a Catholic !

Fine, you cared enough to reply/post though.

The polls said she was going to win easily, they were very wrong in that instance.

Polls are snapshots in time. The last 48 hours national polls in us were spot on

Or are you now providing alternative facts?

This is a man who has gone bust 3 times.

Someone who went under running casinos (where the odds are always in favour of the house).

I don't believe you wish to spend a slow hour being taught basic GCSE level Sociology. You could enroll on Open University, perhaps?

The fact is the vast majority of these "experts" who live and work in the US political media got it wrong. Thus proving living in the US means nothing when making a comment on the political landscape of the US.
