Trump said the same thing about Hillary pretty much pre-2016. Its not a good idea to take his words by themselves without context.


then take his actions, or rather the lack thereof: not doing anything about the man who concealed a plea agreement to spare that kiddy fiddling 'terrific guy' who is so 'fun to be with' is a fact - no matter how hard you're trying to dodge that...

I'm seriously so sick of hearing about Trump already; he's a fringe candidate who stands no chance at getting the nomination. He's this year's Ron Paul (gets tons of attention on the internet but loses by a landslide).

Clinton would win in an electoral landslide. I know people like to have fun discussing fringe candidates but anyone who would attempt to argue otherwise is clearly clueless regarding national and state politics. Clinton would receive at least 347 EVs, and could theoretically push into the 370s-380s if she was fortunate enough to have 6-8 months of campaigning against Trump as the Republican standard-bearer.

The amusing thing is that Trump's electoral viability is little different than most of the other Republicans running. Bush, Walker, Rubio, and Kasich are all capable of forcing a tight election and even winning in certain environments but most of the other primary candidates would fare as poorly as Trump would.

:unsure:

putting funds towards each gender makes sense

but population is for infrastructure, etc

does someone on a visa or being a citizen matter?

There is, for example, an open debate about whether Congressional districts should be drawn based on resident population, or based on population eligible to vote.
Currently, representatives from districts with a high share of noncitizens are elected by a smaller number of eligible voters, which means that these voters in these districts have a higher voting power or "representation ratio".
Similarly, it plays a role for the allocation of extra funding in education or healthcare; or when it comes to local authorities providing services in Spanish or Chinese and such.

To function as well as it possibly can, the state needs to know which people with which kinds of needs and weaknesses or strengths live in which corners of the country.
