    Remember the "hopefully fix the stupid shit" bumper sticker? What a great campaign slogan.

    yeah...if cattle, corn and hogs or tumbleweed had a vote...you'd totally dominate!!! I grew up in western Iowa...the whole county had 3000 people..that should be as powerful as Las Vegas, right?

    Maybe. But just like in multiple states that house illegals, you don't need an ID to vote. So corn won over the illegals this time.

    True. And Trump did not even campaign in those heavily populated blue areas, nor did anyone tell the supporters to vote anyway, in spite of being in the local minority.
    This is the logical thing to do since the election is not a popular thing, if it were the push would be far different and the vote total would no doubt reflect the need if it were not the EC focus.

    So, you're taking my quote out of context. I was only talking about the wall. I highly doubt an entire wall will be built and guess what? I am right. Fencing is going to be installed instead (in some places).


    Lot's of things that candidates say during the campaign trail hardly get enacted at 100%. Wise people know this and that is why most people vote for the party that aligns with the policies you/they believe in.

    I wondered how long the insult free part of this thread would last.....it's like Mel Gibson as the rooster in Chicken Run telling the hens not to panic!

    I didn't mean to take the quote out of context, I guess I misunderstood.

    So you take his other campaign promises at face value? You think it was only the wall talk that was rhetoric?

    Oddly enough, I think the wall is probably the thing he most likely follows through on.

    Why do you post trivial comments like this? I know as a school teacher that you know the election is set up to have the States that Comprise the United States, elect the President State, by State.
    I also know you know that if you do not like this method you need to change it by Constitutional amendment. So why attempt to marginalize the result of a valid election with trivial comments?

    I think both candidates will pander to their base a bit. That happens with them all, from the beginning of the USA.

    I think he will come through on other things that are apart of his 100 day contract or whatever. Do I think it's going to be exactly how he said? No, but it'll be close and the majority of his stance on things I agree with, except abortion and the environment, where I side more left.

    And the fiscal conservative in me hopes it happens. If it doesn't translate to more companies moving here/staying here which would equate to more jobs and tax revenue then I will eat crow.

    for your amusement and reflection....why do you like to talk about people with their heads up their ass? Choices....that's marginalizing don't you think? I look at the map of Oregon and most of the red counties have more timber and wetlands than people...I think my point was that you can't color a map and make a gross generalization about the population....fly over the Midwest and see how much empty space out there is red....your contention is trivial Marz....but it's ok..

    I accept the results of the election...and love the freedom of speech that I have my friend....why attempt to scathe an elected president at all? When I say thanks Obama...I mean it

    Those 3000 plus Counties Rasheed referenced are part of the many States. Elections are won mostly by wining States and then the people in the states. Oregon and Alaska have 2 electorial votes each as do California and New York. Additional electoral votes are awarded each state based on population. But I am sure you can see, cattle, corn and hogs or tumbleweed don't need to vote.
    Just win over the few people that own them and Viola! A winner.

    I won't mention head up ass again until tomorrow, when I an sure I will be prompted again.

    Marazul would require a rather large federal farm subsidy before ever doing something like that.
