People saw a fighter. A scrapper. A positive message. He went and rallied working class folks that people thought Jeb and Rubio and the rest had written off. Immigration was and is a huge issue that the rest of the field didn't want to advocate, so Trump differentiated himself there as well.

Many of us just thought he was less shady than the alternative.

I don't like the idea of having my state's electoral votes decided by the majority vote nationwide, for the sheer fact that vote harvesting is legal in some states and not in others, voter ID laws are different from state to state, voter registration is different from state to state, etc...

I didn't. That wasn't the main point. I know it's debatable how the race would have ended without Perot. The point was Clinton won with less than a majority of the votes.

No, I already addressed it. I note you only lecture people you deem pro-Trump.... might check back around post 29. So long as the content is "Orange Man Bad" you don't seem to mind that it doesn't relate to your OP at all. That said, I don't have any more to say about the economists who...

Ross Perot siphoned off enough right-of-center votes to crush George H. Bush. Clinton won, though with less than half of all votes cast.

The electoral college also protects against states that... well.. might be a little lax on following Federal Election Law with respect to who gets to vote.

Well said. You nailed it. The more you read the Mueller report, the more you see that he just stuffs irrelevant factoids into the report to give the appearance that collusion took place, then comes to the conclusion that it didn't. Mueller was not paid to get to the bottom of anything. He...

And that's the point of the Mueller Report. Smear Trump. It's out now that the FBI folks were skeptical of Christopher Steele's claims before they filed the first, second and third FISA warrant extensions. They failed to disclose to the court any negative information about Steele and...

2. We just get 2 Senators per state. If you're talking about House members, then more than they deserve because of illegal immigration.

Context is everything. Again, campaigns meet with foreigners. This is just more guilt by insinuation. Irrelevant.

The electoral college prevents large states from running roughshod over smaller states, and was one of the only reasons some of the 13 colonies pitched in with the initial United States experiment.

Maine and Nebraska don't follow the "winner takes all" rule. They split the popular vote. Retail is an interesting study. Local municipals killed hometown retail. When a Costco comes in and offers to hire 200 workers, the city grants them tax favored treatment like abatements. The local...

More “guilt by insinuation”. If nothing else, the Russia Conspiracy Theorists are persistent. The only Russians these folks ignore are the ones the Clintons colluded with.

That's absurd. Even our tiny company has dealt with Deutsche Bank. A borrower never knows the source of the funds funding the loans. Your assertion betrays a clear lack of understanding of banking.

Really? Schiff famously claimed that he had substantial evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to effect the election. Apparently he failed to give that substantial evidence to Mueller. It's funny to see people still clinging to this narrative despite the absolute absence of any...

What's the specific complaint here? His letter summarized Mueller's findings fairly succinctly. Not sure how he smeared himself. It's not like he said something contrary to what Mueller said. Because lawyers have to comb through the report in order to make the proper determinations as to...

Car companies are so regulated that the barriers to entry for new car companies are too high. Government did that, not the free markets, lol. What you keep calling the "free market" is really a distortion because of government favoritism via regulation. So? Large companies can buy smaller...

It certainly didn't turn out the way that Schiff, the NYT, the Washington Post, Vannity Fair, CNN, MSNBC, and the rest said it would, lol.

I've never heard that theory... ever.
