Sleepy Joe
“I actually think that Hillary Clinton was a great candidate. She was very smart. She was very tough. She was ruthless and vicious. I would actually run against Biden,” said Trump.
When asked why, Trump responded “Sleepy Joe. He’s sleepy. She was not sleepy.”
Popular Vote
In the interview, Trump made a strong point about losing the popular vote.
He did not campaign to win the popular vote. He campaigned to win the electoral college.
He wrote off California and Illinois. He went to Maine four times to pick up one vote, and he got it.
He would have picked up a lot more votes in California if the popular vote actually mattered and he campaigned there.
Trump Makes Strong Case
Trump has a strong case about how he campaigned and why. He expressed his electoral college viewpoint well.
We do not know what would have happened because the converse is true as well. How many Democrats did not vote because it did not matter?
Regardless, we can say Hillary did not run a tough, smart campaign. Her campaign was based on winning votes, not states.
Congratulations, Hillary! You won the campaign you fought. It just didn’t matter.
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
Google caught trying to rig 2020 election and not a peep. Why?
Google tried to rig the 16 election, as did the press and the Us government. There is really no proof Russia did anything. Schmidt was in bed with HRC. Probably why he had to quit. The Democrats tried to rig the outcome and have to run a coverup.
Geographically Trump won California. The founding fathers wanted the winner to be the most widespread not necessarily the one with the most votes. Of course they probably never foresaw a system where the winner loses by so much in the popular vote because they probably never foresaw so much population concentration. America was founded on manifest destiny which meant DISPERSING of people.

Hillary won about 20 large metropolitan areas. Trump won everywhere else. The electoral college is partly in place to prevent a handful of densely populated areas from deciding the president. Without it, states like Wyoming and Montana never would have joined the US.
Can a Dead White Male rally the party faithful? You know, women, perverts, and dindus. Buttgigger has more broad party appeal. First Wife is the same as first woman president to a Dimocrat.
I bet every candidate puts on their very best for the AIPAC Conference.
Someday Trump should discuss the yawning chasm between candidate Trump and President Trump.
Was thinking a few days ago that if he starts an armed conflict with Iran, someday he’ll give a Condoleezza Rice-style interview where he blames the tunnel vision of being in office for veering so far off course.
The yawning chasm is between our Hero President Trump and Democratic/RINO obstructionists.
Perhaps not a Socialist, but a Neo-Capitalist like Liz Warren.
Will El presidente Maduro errrr Trump gov’t survive the year?Deficits don’t matter……until they do!Deficits are rising at hypersonic speed,one has to ask will there be anything left of his govt in a year without massive fed monetization?
If dollar debt default matches the deficit then money supply balances.
Deficits DON’T matter. The United States literally went bankrupt in 1971. Hyperinflation of the monetary supply isn’t an internal event, it’s an external event when foreign nations simply won’t accept the currency as having worth.
When the rest of the world is done extracting anything useful they can get out of the United States, they’ll simply stop accepting US currency, and that’s the end of the currency.
The banks will seize all assets they can get their hands on, there will be massive unemployment, and there will be mass chaos and turmoil.
I ask you to do this knowing you won’t. Graph the national debt in terms of gold, silver, or really any commodity from at least 1900 to today. See if you can see a pattern..
Your government betrayed you nearly 50 years ago. Enough people have been trying to tell you about it, but whatever.
The ‘Sleepy Joe’ moniker baits Biden into radical tirades just perfect for negative TV ads.
