Offtopic Trump supporter thread!!!

That doesn't make any sense.

These people commanded some 16-20 million votes each in their respective primaries this year.

Back when the party conventions chose candidates, you're talking about 2-3k delegates--at most--choosing each person. You really don't get more fringe than that.

Your argument simply doesn't hold up against math.

NY Times: Only 9 Percent Chose Trump, Clinton as Nominees

According to the Times, 60 million eligible Americans voted in the primaries, about 30 million in each, with about half of those 60 million voting for candidates not named Trump or Clinton.

At least in the convention system you had delegations that represented the mainstream of each party in their respective states attending the conventions and participating in the deal making that ultimately produced a nominee.

It does in that the Republican ticket was watered down and overstretched with a lot of candidates this time around. Trump only won about 20-30% of the vote, but divided by like 8 people, that was enough to get in him.

I guess some people still haven't developed a sense of humor yet.

Oh, I understood that it was intended to be humorous.

FACT CHECK !

Trump received 45% of the votes from people who voted in the Republican primary. Also there were 17 major candidates at the start of the campaign.

That compares closely to Barack Obama's primary campaign in 2008. Obama received 47% of the votes. And for those junkies who care, Hillary Clinton received 48% of the vote. So for those of you who complain about the electoral process being unfair, you likely believe that Clinton should have been Democrat nominee in 2008, as she received more popular votes.

As far as being watered down goes, in 2007 there were 17 Democrats who were considered to be candidates, though not all officially announced their candidacy. Officially it was 9 candidates.

I could so so so comment on this, but believe me, it's much too bigly for you to understand. Go to Wikileaks and you'll see how Hillary Clinton is doing bad bad things to this country.

Wikileaks dumps are too many words, breitbart and infowars much easier to read.

I'm imagining Trump going on an Internet forum asking for someone to photoshop his face juxtaposed with a pic of a lion, and getting many responses.

CNN counter says 13 more days. Can't wait for it to be over, I could maybe watch CNN again.

Just saw a Trump supporter panelist brag about her Harvard Law degree on CNN....................

 

[Ruptga]

Whoa now, let's not get too crazy.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Even Canadian news is riddled with US election news, it's actually quite ridiculous how long the election has been. Should be 1 month, MAYBE 2, tops. It's insane to drag it so long and so much money is wasted by everyone involved.

While all the news stations are covering this for over a year it makes you wonder what kind of dirty stuff has been going on, like the TPP, that nobody even realizes.

I usually don't watch CNN but it is fun to watch in winter though. Some places get 10cm of snow and you think you're watching the apocalypse happen or something.

 

[MongGrel]

Hillary has "supposedly" been anti TPP a very long time now, but it keeps being dredged up.

I'd hate to think what Trump has been lying about the whole election and what he would do in reality.
