Does Trump really have a mandate? Far less than other guys.

[JoeB131]

If Kamala had won with these same numbers I have no doubt all the Democrats on here would be calling it a mandate. To be fair and bipartisan I have no doubt the Republicans here would be saying it wasn’t the only time most think there is an election mandate is when their side wins.

I would say if she won by these numbers, it would be pretty pathetic.

The fact that we couldn't get over our racism and misogyny to elect a decent woman over a convicted felon says a lot about where we are at as a country, none of it good.

Come up with some new material these excuses are lame and boring as are you have nice Thanksgiving and goodbye.

 

[westwall]

Except it wasn't 15 million... the number of total voters were about 5 million less. Maybe less than that.

Some went to Trump. Some stayed home. Some couldn't vote because of onerous voter suppression.

None of this means Trump has a mandate because he got lucky in a disorganized opponent.

Try lying elsewhere.

"Decent". You make me laugh. She has her position because she fellated the most powerful man in California politics.

Reagan - Won 58.8% of the vote and 49 States- Still lost the senate in his midterm, and was mired in the Iran Contra Scandal.

Reagan was not mired in any Iran Contra scandal. The media was not telling the truth about what happened. So let me tell the truth.
1. Reagan never planned it to happen.
2. Reagan was not aware of the connection.
3. A stupid Democrat passed the Boland Amendment. It stopped the US Government from helping the Contras.
4. The Contras were actually funded by not Reagan, but by Saudi Arabia. Did the media mention that? Because if you read the book by the authors of Reagan, the man and his presidency, they dug into it and learned it was the Saudis funds going to the Contras. This is why Reagan never was so much as impeached.

He wants to discuss mandates. I am not at all interested in this. Trump won as democrats say, FAIR AND SQUARE.

Hillary ran 8 years ago when the number of eligible voters was 15 million less...

There was a 2% drop in voter participation this time.

No person in history has had more people vote for them then Donald Trump

Mandate

Wow, you are proving my point about misogyny, aren't you.

So Trump fucks porn stars, and that's okay.
But Harris had a relationship 30 years ago, and that's horrible.

That's not true, either.

Biden got more votes in 2020.

 

[struth]

Yeah but trump got more votes then xiden ever did.

My wife and I dine out at least once a week. Prices are up a bit, but they nowhere neared "double".



Seems like you suck at shopping. The Mrs. and I can buy groceries for the week for less than $100 - 150.



Food prices went up because of higher demand for farm labor and international demand.

As for WWIII, how was Putin invading Ukraine Biden's fault, exactly? Was it FDR's fault Hitler invaded Poland?



Exactly my point. With a 3 vote margins in both houses, Trump has no margin for error, and he can't bully them into every crazy thing he wants to do.

Gaetz getting shot down was a good early sign.

I see you're totally ignoring QPJ's escalating the conflict weeks before being put out to pasture.

Not at all. You claimed she was decent. She is a whore. Nothing more. That's how she got where she is, by sleeping with her boss.

Her actions when she got power are a study in authoritarianism and incompetence.

No misogyny, just the simple facts that she is stupid, and evil.

 

[westwall]

Provably false. Those were imaginary, as THIS election just proved.

 

[JoeB131]

Yeah but trump got more votes then xiden ever did.

The only way you get to that number is if you add up all three of his runs... But we are talking about the same people voting three times. (Six if you count primaries).

 

[JoeB131]

Provably false. Those were imaginary, as THIS election just proved.

Not really, guy.

A total of 158 million voted in 2020.

A total of 155 million voted in 2024.

Harris got 6 million less votes than Biden did, Trump got 2.5 million more than last time. I probably need to run the numbers on third party types.

No we aren’t talking about the same people, because more people voted each year for trump.

“Mandate” doesn’t mean what the petulant sore loser OP seems to think it means.

Yep, trump got more votes

Only after days and days and days of "finding" more ballots.

 

[JoeB131]

Okay, Harris got 74,447,661 compared to Biden's 81,283,501. Or 6,805,804 less.

Trump got 76,976,231 compared to 74,223,975 that he got in 2020.

Third party Pissers got 2.5 Million compared to 2.9 million in 2020
