the US vote is about the electoral college. both candidates plan their schedule to maximize their electoral votes, not their popular vote. if a candidate, say clinton, caters to a demographic which is disadvantaged in the electoral college, thats her own fault.
trump won what the US election is all about - thats why he is president, end of story.

so you admit that trump is the winner? why did you call him the loser (of the election) then? you wrote

in a race that is about maximizing the electoral college and not about maximizing the popular vote, the results in the popular vote are irrelevant. if you understood that, you wouldnt have written the quote above.

conservatives said the same about obamacare, benghasi, gender toilets and stuff like that. they had to endure it for 8 years. maybe now the liberals will have to endure stuff that they find outrageous for a similar period of time. 110 days in, 1350 more to go. maybe 2800 if trump gets reelected.

He is the "loser" in the sense that he isn't who the voters wanted as president, and only via a undemocratic system that rejected the democratic victor was he inaugurated. The voters picked Clinton, yet the loser of the vote became president.

Also he's just a loser :ph34r:
