to be rid of California.
This comes a bit late, and some have probably seen this analysis before, but I still find it interesting.
quote:Post Election Analysis. Hillary is the President of California!
But here are the facts:
Trump won the popular vote in 31 states to her 19 and DC. 62% to her 38%.
Trump led in the total popular vote for all states except California.
Hillary won California 5,860,714 to Trump's 3,151,821. 61.6% to 33.1%, exclusive of the other candidates.Thus California gave Hillary the popular vote for all states as claimed by the Democrats and their media stooges.
But deduct her California vote from her national vote leaving her with 54,978,783, and deduct Trump's California vote from his national total, leaving him with 57,113.976, he wins in a landslide in the other 49 states, 51.3% to her 48.7%.
So, in effect, Hillary was elected president of California and Trump was elected president of the rest of the country, by a substantial margin.
This exemplifies the wisdom of the Electoral College, to prevent the votes of any one populace state from overriding the votes of the others.
Trump's Campaign Manager, Kellyanne Conway, whose expertise is polling, saw this early on and devised her strategy of "6 pathways to the White House". This meant ignoring California with its huge Democrat majority and going after the states that would give him the necessary electoral votes to win, FL, NC, MI, PA, OH, and WI.
At its lowest point since the War of Northern Aggression ! Could this mean the end of the Democrat Party?
When the afternoon of January 20, 2017 arrives, the Republican Party will have:
1) The Presidency.
2) A majority of the House of Representatives.
3) A majority of the Senate.
4) Almost two-thirds of all the governors.
5) Total control of the statehouses in almost two-thirds of all the states.
6) And in the near future, Republicans will be able to add a majority of the Supreme Court.
The above has never happened before in American history.
Think about this and let it sink in for a moment.
And it's all because of one reason:Barack Obama forcing his extreme far-left agenda on an unwilling country by executive orders, left wing judges, and obsequious bureaucrats.
With the demand that we do away with the Electoral College and take the popular vote being pushed by the media, etc, all Americans need to know that the Electoral College is working exactly as our Founding Fathers intended.

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

There may be a couple there, but they are shouted down by the ivory tower butt plungers.

No excuses!

Last I checked California got less federal money back than it paid in. So if it gets cut off do they get to stop paying too?
The federal government shouldn't even have enough control of the money to be able to exert control over a state by manipulating it. But they do. I find it interesting how many people here believe big daddy government should spank anyone they do not agree with, yet complain when it's done for reasons they do not agree with.

The numbers folks like to use to claim 'Blue states pay more taxes than they receive back from the feds' are nonsense. They include limited items such as transportation funding, military base expenditures, education monies, Medicare and Medicaid.
They leave out one big number: Welfare and other forms of public assistance.
Does it never cause anyone to question how you can have a state like California contain so many useless individuals, vast swaths of cities full of illegals in their barrios, and still claim to send more money to the feds than they get back? Easy. It's BS.
I propose ejecting the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, Berkley, Los Angeles, and San Diego from the state and move them 1,000 miles west into the ocean where they can become the state of Demononia.
Now is your chance, Republican Party.
No excuses!
I'll bet even money they screw up. Almost as corrupt as the demonrats already.
Look what they went for first- less ethics. Proves they are s bags too.
STARVE every sanctuary city. NO funds for law breakers on day one.
Bet the repukes don't do it.
