Conservatives, honest question; why is this such a common response whenever polling or the popular vote is brought up? It is possible to have discussions of a presidents popularity using more than simply a winning candidates electoral college vote, right? I just don't get the knee-jerk defensiveness that seems so common.

Equivalent of saying "scoreboard"?

Because as you have already been told it doesn't matter what #MUHPOLLS or #MUHPOPULARVOTE say. Trump won the only polling data that matters. It's like saying that because a team had more total yardage they actually won when the scoreboard shows they lost by 21.

Because the popular vote does NOT count, and neither does poll data. They are irrelevant and make good trivia questions, that is it.

Estimates show aboutĀ 58 percentĀ of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election. 33% approval is pretty solid when you look at relative turnout. You know darn well that 33% will be at the polls. So dems will need to get an additional 8% of the population to the polls to beat him. Good luck

But it's not, if i'm discussing rushing yardage with you, yelling scoreboard has no bearing on anything I'm saying, and it makes you seem uninterested in actually parsing useful data in order to come to reasonable conclusions.

No, it's like saying a team had a better rushing game than the other by pointing to rushing yardage, and you replying with SCOREBOARD! as if that is relevant. No one is discussing whether or not Trump won the electoral college except for the conservatives forcing the topic where it doesn't belong. Why? Are you that uncomfortable with the fact it was an objectively close election?

It is a moot point. Next election we can just give every vote from Cali and NY to the Dems. You can win the popular vote by 12 million. Your knee yerk reactions to how the POTUS is elected is predictable though.

They are irrelevant when it comes to deciding who wins the Presidency, they are relevant when discussing a presidents popularity among the population. Why is there such push back against this?

Your poll data is probably based on 80% Dems, polls are usually wrong, as has been proven time and time again

Ha, ha, keep believing that. More losing (for the Libturds) as far as I see it.

You and CB seem to want to discuss it. Why not discuss it with him? Your post below.
IDK maybe find and mirror and argue with yourself.
[b ]He didn't ignore the electoral college, just pointed out a fact that a reasonable person would grasp. Why does any mention of the wide-disparity in popular votes bother Trump fans so much? It happened, and while it obviously doesn't change the outcome of the election, it's definitely pertinent in regards to overall voter support for his administration.[/b]

The only time a popularity contest was won and made president was with Oblunder. He is still the worst president since Carter. So in essence, who cares how popular Trump is as long as he's doing what we the people wanted and the why of our votes. He's doing exactly like he said. Trouble is there are too many obstructionist in the Demons party and sadly even in the Swamp. Right now the Creatures from the Black Lagoon (RINOs) are/will be running scared. New blood is already being elected, Moore being the first one. Watch out he's a true Conservative and more are coming, believe it. So popularity aside, who cares how Trump speaks and how bad a egotist he is as long as he delivers on his promises...and he has.
Let's start a movement among us conservatives let's put out our US flags on November 8th. Let's rub it in good.

The whining and spin in this thread by those that lost last November 8 is truly priceless.

The only thing that concerns me about the previous election is the fact that one of the two major political parties in this country had to choose between a crook and an admitted socialist and they are happy about it.

And they cheated the socialist out of the nomination for the crook. It's mind boggling.
