So a vote in Wyoming is "worth" nearly four times a New York vote when translated into the Electoral College.

God, I remember when Obama was elected. He spoke so much praise for his wife and so much. They made such a lovely family. During Trump's speech this morning - he barely made reference to his wife. There was some sort of a quick thank you or some such added in along with others but the mentioning of his wife was very brief. Shows to me that he has contempt for his wife.

I am sure the Al Qaeda and the ISIS's of the world would love nothing more, especially as it would take out there biggest enemy. Or tearing up a deal that is working and trying sanctions again. There won't be the same broad support, as it the US would rightly be blame for the mess that would cause.

Either directly (over nuclear ambition) or indirectly (the US is allied with the Saudis and Turkey is a NATO member - both of whom are threatened by Iran's drive to become the dominant power in the region).

Do you think Trump has embarassed himself saying 'you can grab pussy whenever you want'.? Do you think men have embarrassed themselves on here saying 'let's grab loads of pussy', and 'the pussening'. If not, you're a hypocrite.

The agreement is working as per the stated aim. You have no way of knowing any kind of uprising would happen in a scenarios where the US tore up the deal. Especially as sanctions would be unlikely to have the same kind of coalition. The Chinese wouldn't join in all likelihood in such a situation for example.

Reminds me of Farage in the UK after the general election when his party had 10% of the popular vote but only got one MP, he went on a tirade about the first past the post system and how the UK should adopt proportional representation instead. Completely undermining the whole point of constitutional monarchy in his own proud "kingdom".
Oh, has anyone else noticed the strangeness of Clinton not contesting the result? Gore did in 2000 and he had a very similar and strong case.
Am I seriously the only one who smells a rat here?

Clinton knows for a fact that if this result was reversed the other way and Trump had lost with more of the popular vote, he would be mounting his legal challenge with the Gore defence at the very centre of it.
