Mandate
Posted by keithosaunders on December 20, 2016
Donald Trump won the popular vote by nearly 3,000,000 votes. A lot of people have been saying, writing, and tweeting that he has no mandate, but I don’t believe his lack of popular support will effect him one bit.
Trump’s mandate is the fact that he doesn’t care whether or not he has a mandate. Why should he stop doing what has worked for him? Think of it – he’s bullet-proof. He can ridicule handicapped people, have an ex-porn star wife, show admiration for a Russian dictator, admit to grabbing women’s pussies, and refuse to release his tax records. Nothing can harm this guy!
Fasten your seat belts, folks, we can expect turbulence.

Hillary ran a very bad campaign. She even took time off cause she took things for granted.
Yea, they love her in Calif. and NY. That’s her popular vote lead but the rest of the country didn’t care for her.

Agreed, she Ralph Kramdened the shit out of that campaign. If you throw out California & NY then you have an even split across the country. Still not what one would think of as a mandate, but as I said, it won’t matter.
