Quote:Of course, some of the people that voted for him hate him too, so I'm sticking to my guns. And you're right, he did get less votes than his opponent.
He really did earn "Person of the Year".
Not that I said anything about them, but it just chaps your hide that the whole getting less votes thing means diddly squat, doesn't it?
Quote:You mean didn't vote for him. Not all of those people "hate" him.
Most people who voted for him just thought he was the lesser of two evils. What percentage of voters would have voted for Trump no matter who was running against him?
I read Clinton had a higher likability rating. Trump was only 22% in that category after Election Day. So although not everyone hates him, it is safe to say most people do.

So it means nothing that Trump lost the popular vote?
Quote:No, because both campaigns would have been run differently if total votes were what mattered.
You play to the rules. If total yards determined the game winner, the Jags would be 7-4-1 instead of 2-10.
Total votes do matter. This is only the fifth time the popular vote loser won the election, and it only happened in 2000 because of those stupid hanging chads.
If we're talking "popular votes" then why were Hillary and her supporters perfectly fine taking away delegates and super delegates Bernie EARNED during the primaries?
Typically, rules only apply to the left as they see fit to benefit themselves.
The founders saw that mob rule was not conducive to proper government. Trump won fair and square. Those who cannot accept being wrong and defeated will never accept he won and deserves what he won.

Wrong again. Every recount, Bush gained more votes. Just as the stupid recounts that are happening now with Trump.

So enlighten us on how they matter. What does it get you?

No, it chaps my hide that Donald duped ANYONE into voting for him.
I'm a firm believer in the electoral system, and Donald won it. It put him on the cover of Time, just like Hitler and Stalin, and he deserves that too.
Nearly all president elects are persons of the year..

It's really silly to hear that from anyone who would have preferred Hillary, the more damaging choice.

You forgot to add Clinton and Obama to that list. They were on it too.

Why was there a recount in the first place?
The pregnant and hanging chads.
Who was called the winner on Election Day?
Al Gore.

Bush was the winner on election day, and beyond.
Quote:Time has put the "M" horns on all sorts of portraits. They want to have a full face on the cover, and they can't put the magazine title across the forehead.
As for the chair and shadow, Donald posed for the portrait, so he can't say he didn't see it coming. The 1938 Hitler cover was a painting, not a photo, and the pose was completely different. They both have dumb haircuts on their covers, though.
Anyway, this article addresses your concerns. Apparently, Donald's biggest gripe about the cover was the "Divided States of America" subtitle. Amazingly, he still can't figure out that a little more than half the country hates him.
Yeah I'm not sure if they did it on purpose or not. but every Time cover is significantly different. These two, however, are pretty similar.
As for the M above the head, none of them are perfectly centered. It probably wouldn't have been noticed if it wasn't for the other similarities though.

... and Obama.
Quote:Bush was the winner on election day, and beyond.
I watched the news on election night and read all about it in The Columbus Dispatch. You aren't convincing me legitimate sources were wrong. They did say Al Gore won and Bush sued him for a recount.
Quote:Why was there a recount in the first place?

Al Gore.
Gore was the one that requested the recount, not Bush. Gore was never declared the winner. They projected EARLY that Gore would get the electoral votes, but that was even before the polls closed in the panhandle. Once the actual vote count came in, Bush won the election, Gore even conceded to him, but took it back when he was requested the recount.
Don't make history up.

Then they were bold face lying.

Do a little reading on the subject and learn the real facts.

Oops that's factually incorrect

Why your making it up!
Florida state law is why there was a recount. Not Al Gore
