Certainly is when the result isnt the one you wanted. At least we know the rules before the event.

Yeah , it's like a Championship club finishing 3rd and complaining when they lose in the play offs. It's not like they moved the goalposts.

The electoral college was expected to favour Hilary , 'the blue firewall' etc

Yet the remoaners were on the wrong side of the popular vote in the brexit poll, and they aren't happy about that either.

How many recounts are required before a count is no longer recounted?

So on that basis if she'd won, then standing for re-election would be a 'no no' because she's too old Crazy


Trump's older than her....on your judgement would he be a one term president?

The popular vote is irrelevant really. Everyone knew the rules when they were campaigning.

Had the two candidates known it was just the popular vote then they would have campaigned differently in different places. Clinton won by 4 million votes in california alone. If the election was settled on most votes the candidates would spend more time campaigning in the most popular states and less time in the crucial swing states.

There would also have been voters in states where the outcome was never in doubt who didnt bother to vote as it was pointless who may have voted in a situation where it was most votes. e.g trump supporters in california or clinton supporters in republican strongholds.

You can pot more balls in a snooker match and still lose the match.

The rules determine the tactical plan as Mighty White alludes to.

my main point is that this aint a revolution like some people are talking about............how can it be a revolution when your opponent gets 2% more than u.

worse system in our country - we voted on proportional representation and the idiots voted no... because they made it sound complicated.

600 seats in parliament.

50 percent voted Tory
40 percent labour
10 percent other twaats.

means 300 seats tory, 240 labour, 60 other mutates.

then they look at which constituencies voted the most tory. they become tory seats. then they look at the higher amount per proportion of the vote ?

simple - give me the job... it's basic arithmetic.

the Wisconsin recount is finished and the woman from the Green Party was correct in her beliefs that Hilary's vote was inaccurate. So I have to apologise to her and admit she was right, I'm also sure Hilary will be pleased with one single extra vote it has now given her. LaughLaugh

I think Trump would do two terms if he was elected.

I think if Clinton had been elected she should have tried to.

The thing is Clinton was defeated so I doubt she will get another chance.
If they went for a women again, probably be Michelle Obama, unless another rises to Democratic prominence.

Perhaps the zimmer frame comment was a bit naughtyBlush
