Trump Administration

[spuwho]

The use of Twitter to keep track of the who and not whos for the Trump Administration is reaching a feverish pitch.

Goldman Sachs COO is being considered for WH Budget Office
Sarah Palin is being considered for Veterans Affairs
Preet Bharara turned down any role with Trump, he is a top prosecutor in Manhattan district
Steve Mnuchin will be Treasury secretary

[spuwho]

Elaine Chao will be Transporation Secretary

Man, that swamp drainin' is going swimmingly.

I am sure all the voters who voted for him because they wanted an "outsider" who wasn't part of the "establishment" will certainly be up in arms over this, as it proves Trump was a huckster charlatan all along.  Oh, wait. No, no they won't.

Trump supporters won't be up in arms.  Every single one of the Trump supporters I know will blindly think all his picks are great.  I bet he could break every law in our country and they would think he is wonderful.  Look at his record and the things the right wingers abhor.  He is a draft evader, didn't pay taxes for decades, has filed for bankruptcy numerous times, has a reputation of bullying and stiffing suppliers, and is a multi-time adulterer.  He could do anything and the religious right supported him, women professionals supported him, the military supports him, and every redneck in the USA supports him.  It's truly amazing.  This says more about the American voter (and the many who didn't bother to vote), than it does about Trump.  Get ready America!  We are going to become one big Mississippi.

Hillary had Hollywood, the music industry, fashion industry, daytime & late night talk shows, basically every news/newspaper outlet, blogs, paid social media brigades, faux protests full of provocateurs, etc & still lost. That tells us most everyday people don't give two shits of the opinions of these people. Or are we supposed to care what Jay Z or some Hollywood snob thinks about politics (as if their opinion is more valid than anyone else's)? It makes me think of this Dave Chappelle piece: https://youtu.be/H7b5hJ0G_9c

I always said they would get better results had any of these people or organizations not dialed it up to 11 & kept their mouths shut, but we know that'll never happen.

Hillary's also winning the popular vote by 2.3 million votes at the moment. So you might want to revisit your thesis.

^Oh, look. Its the "large liberal cities pushed her ahead in the popular vote, lulz" argument. That doesn't win elections, sport & its one of the reason the electoral college exists.

And since the popular means dick, Trump won 3084 out of 3141 counties (including Duval). Let that sink in. Or don't.

K. Are you aware there's people in these counties, and that the actual county itself doesn't vote, because its, like a piece of land with water & trees & stuff? And that he carried way WAY more of these counties in an electoral college system hence why he won?

Exactly.  Why you think a geographical entity should count for more than, you know, actual voters, is beyond me.

Do people on this forum really not understand the purpose of the electoral college?

And why you think the people in a couple of big cities in New York and California should decide who governs for all of flyover country is beyond me...

Then I guess democracy is beyond you.
