56. A few questions for you.

Dec 2016

1. How is that Bill Clinton gets impeached and his approval ratings go up?

2. If Bill could do that, then why couldn't Hillary turn the email issue around on Republicans?

3. How can President Obama win without the PUMAss voters, but Hillary couldn't win without the BoBs?

4. How did President Obama win MI, PA, and WI being an African-American and the tea toddlers calling him a Muslim, but Hillary could not?

5. I've said it before and I'll say it again, popular vote doesn't matter. That's the equivalent of someone arguing that their team should world champions because they have more fans despite the fact they lost the required points needed to win. Why should I care about the popular vote when we all knew the rules going in.
