She tried to warn the American people. But NO! 62 milions voters REFUSED to listen.

Trump is looking at prison. This puts Mike Pence is an odd position. He pardons Trump, it is Gerald Ford all over again. And we know how well that worked out for Ford.

She is too great a patriot to be enjoying watching the country fall apart but if anyone deserves the right to say “I told you so!” It is her. Of course if she did she would be ripped to shreds by the media and we would have another round of “why can’t she just get over losing!” News reports.

then there were those who didn't think she was progressive enough. One thing for sure is that you never get it all in a candidate. I vote the party's issues. Some folks really blew it in 2016. Let's hope they have got the message for the Midterms.

304 people who didn't read the Constitution and didn't understand what the EC was for. It was intended to assure that a layer of protection existed to prevent someone getting in just because they fooled enough people.

Those "electors" had a moral obligation to ignore politics and vote for the person who actually got the most votes. Instead, they went politics, blamed it on their districts or states, and ignored the consequences.

Shame on every one of them

coaching the true believers in what to think, what to say and most importantly, who to believe. Now with overwhelming evidence that their man is not who they thought he was, they are still being told by tRump, Fox and some Congress critters to stand by their man. Don’t break ranks.

But a tsunami of evidence that they’ve been duped is coming. These things will leak out from time to time and sometimes a gigantic wave (like yesterday) will happen. Bit by bit their illusions will get knocked down and the naked truth will stand alone. I am pretty sure there will be a core group who will never relent, never give up their delusions. However, the ones with functioning brain cells that have not been hopelessly brainwashed will come to understand the truth. And when THEY turn on tRump, it won’t be pretty.

I don't know if they were faked or not, but they offered like $5-10 per hour, timestamping tickets, with a bonus if they brought a sign.

And you notice, all his rallies are in real minor towns. You don't see him doing campaign rallies in Seattle or Los Angeles or Miami.

1-800-Hire-a-Crowd


[link:https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/07/crowd-hiring-politics-campaign-2016/399002/|

These days, if a candidate or protest organizer is short on numbers, he or she can simply pick up the phone and call a company like Crowds on Demand, a Los Angeles-based company that provides rental crowds for campaign rallies and protests. The company was founded in late 2012 by Adam Swart, a UCLA grad who majored in political science. It is among a very small number of U.S. companies that offers rental crowd services in the U.S. (including Crowds for Rent and the Trump-hired Extra Mile Casting), and perhaps the only one that does so openly
