3. Yup.

[yardwork]

23. I immediately thought the same thing.

Hi there! How are you?

[DK504]

2. Damn! He is one dumb SOB.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. That's not it here. He's pushing alt-facts for his base to believe. . . nt

[eleny]

4. His affinity for fake news is showing - again

[Volstagg]

5. I think he just says whatever he wants to be true

and has never had anyone question him before.

[still_one]

6. and 20% of the populace believe President Obama isn't an American. Both are LIES

and the media does very little to correct that

[Turbineguy]

7. Sure, dude,

whatever you say.

[ProfessorPlum]

8. dangerously delusional

[BumRushDaShow]

9. He's been trapped in a 5 month long purgatory

and will apparently forever live in it.

11. I don't see why it shouldn't be considered true that Trump won the popular vote.

It is no less accurate than many other lies that the GOP has successfully persuaded the American people to believe.

[elmac]

12. what a whack job

to bad his voters are even more Whacked-out

[Mr.Bill]

13. So this week the republicans

are saying the polls are accurate? It's hard to keep track of what they believe from week to week or even day to day. I gotta get a scorecard.

[left-of-center2012]

14. Trump has said ...

Trump has said ...
If the votes in New York and California weren't counted,
he'd have won the popular vote.

What kind of bragging is that?

[kimbutgar]

27. My family went to a reservoir yesterday in California, this one was started under JFK

They had a video with him and Governor Edmund Brown ( Jerry Brown's father) who worked with the federal government in co partnership dedicating the groundbreaking.

Here is the text of John F Kennedy's speech. I miss the days of smart government and not political pandering bs ideology.

[riversedge]

28. Thank is a great excerpt by JFK. Thanks for posting.

[H2O Man]

17. Right.

About as much as he'd have beaten Joe Louis.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

18. Still?

In which Universe?

[Different Drummer]

19. His obsession with the popular vote is annoying.

Can't the asshat just get over it already?!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. The one where he has a 53% disapproval rating?

[sharedvalues]

21. Be a bit careful, better headline "Hillary won popular vote, President lies about it again"

Be careful repeating his words - that's what he wants you to do. Human brains are tough - if we hear the same words over and over again we start to believe them.

George Lakoff has some good writing on this.

[smirkymonkey]

22. But, um, you didn't.

So there's that little thing. Moron.

[YOHABLO]

24. This type of obsession is part of his narcissistic personality disorder.

[nikibatts]

25. No. He will never beat Hillary in the popular vote, never. What most people here and elsewhere

do not realize is that in those red states where Hillary lost by those small margins it was nothing but rank sexism. Stop trying to make it more complicated than it is. Nothing was wrong with Hillary's message though it could have had more economic intensity but we have to recognize that there is a unreasonable thread of sexism that pervades our culture and in some places it is more like a broad band.
Sexism among evangelical, right wing, male and female bigots is a factor in why Hillary could not win in those close states. There were third party voters and Bernie supporters who either stayed home or just would not vote for Hillary and they can't even give you a good reason why except to say "she can't be trusted" "was a security risk" or that she was too close to Wall Street...all irrational reasons to keep from just saying I don't like HER for just being HER and not HE. I know because I know lots of those people and about 1/4 of my family feels that way. They would rather vote for a con artist and they did.

[Doodley]

26. He's a troll. He just says or tweets whatever will get people talking about him the most.

[raccoon]

29. He's STILL talking about that... WTF. nt

[HughBeaumont]

30. Wow, I can't wait until this election is over.

That's probably going to be the time when our major cities wind up nuked, leaving nothing but racist wingnut mutants forming a new Dumberican Republic.

[Initech]

31. Donald, ever hear the phrase "beating a dead horse?"

You can only beat the same dead horse for so long before people get sick of it.

[LAS14]

32. The scariest thing is that millions believe him. nt

[Mr. Ected]

33. Almost half a year after the (stolen) election, and he's still harping on vote totals?

Lends so much credence to the fact that he KNOWS he colluded with Russia to steal the election, and is desperately trying to convince Americans he won it fair and square. It's a mental deficiency that all of us recognize but his supporters do not.
