Ah, TRT, you do have keyboard diarrhea. You know full well you were implying Trump has some sort of big mandate. Now, your revised "limited mandate" I can see somewhat. As per "The View," at those salaries, I might apply.

The "factual evidence" is that HRC won the popular vote. My point was not that she won the election, nor that a recount is needed, nor that the Russians cost HRC the election. My suggestion was only that your characterization of some sort of big mandate was inaccurate hyperbole. And it was. However, your revision is more accurate.

Your suggestion was a dodge of recent history and you did try to cast the election outcome in the light of aberration. The people had liberalism, and all that went with it. ObamaCare, the repeal of DADT, globalism, government assault on the integrity of our own law enforcement entities, a highly politicized DOJ, amateur hour foreign policy, a depleted military, a reported covert effort to hand over US sovereignty to the UN through the TPP, nonexistent border controls under the leadership of both sides, the ridiculous green agenda as overseen by the present edition of an EPA given to absurdities, government moratoriums on all forms of viable energy sources, (not that Obama did not do his formidable best to advance wind power), and the list goes on and on. The people rejected all of it and never once did Trump mince words. Now, you can call the liberal's 180 degree reversal of fortunes a suggestion if you want.

But then my intention was not to change your mind or influence your biases. Mine was to point out accurately what just transpired in the election. The nation chose DJT in sweeping fashion, California chose Hillary, 55 electoral votes. Along with New York with it's 29 electoral votes and Illinois' 20 adds up to nearly half of her electoral vote total. Out of the remaining 17 states she won, only three even break double figures, Virginia's 13 being the greatest, and the rest of the states are down under 10 votes each. Trump won nearly all the big prizes.

Like I said the Dems had Republicans DOA as recently as 2014 and libs' denials, no matter how intense, and rationalizations will not change history. This election was a reaction to policy and the desire to disembark the lunar schooner. I say it's a mandate as do others of notable repute.

Back in the old days of the nuclear generation they had a survival strategy known as 'duck and cover.' You'd like to think you are very good at it, but it doesn't work any better now than it did then. I didn't even mention the mandate deal until deep into our little series of discourses here. In this case the popular vote margin can be literally pinned down to only one state, California. Your argument though not your own, is moot, and clearly lies outside of constitutional mandate. I don't need for you to admit that, frankly if your intention is to remain willfully ignorant who am I to interfere?
