You Went Full Paranoid....

...Never go full paranoid.

Right now the Democrat Party is looking about casting blame for the electoral defeat of the goddess-empress Hillary! It;'s getting ugly.

So off the top of my head, Hillary! lost because of James Comey, or Russian hacking, or media bias (you can laugh yourself to death on that last one), sexism, ageism...did I miss anything?

Oh, and Fake News. That's my favorite.

All of these excuses add up to one thing: the Democrat party is is deep denial.

Or they're just nuts.

Look after 2012 we on the right looked at the disaster before and thought, 'Ok, let's figure out what we did wrong and never do it again.' There were no excuses. After 2008 we in the conservative movement looked around at the smoldering ruble that was our ideology and said, 'Ok, how do we fix and rebuild this?' We needed new ideas and leadership.

So why did Hillary! lose? She was an awful candidate and is an awful person. She was bereft of ideas, except for one big idea: herself. The Democrat Party is an organization of bi-coastal elites concerned with boutique issues that no one else cares about. They and Hillary! are seen as representative of a cocooned global elite, great for Wall Street, San Francisco and New York, but bad for Main Street.

Right now the Democrat Party is basically arguing that America sucks. Lemme tell you something, there guy. It's not America that sucks, it's YOU that sucks.

Dream of Californication

Via Richard Fernandez at the Belmot club California (uber ales) has certified its vote total:

California certifies its results: Clinton 8,753,788 (61.7%), Trump 4,483,810 (31.6%), Others 943,997 (6.7%). Largest Dem margin since 1936.

Hillary!'s margin in the popular vote (a meaningless tally) comes entirely from one state.

Americans are the products of the worst school system in the developed world so most of us aren't getting this. The national popular vote is meaningless. Now before one starts crying about democracy, its working fine here. Hillary! romped in CA and the state's 55 EVs are being democratically allocated to Hillary!, aren't they.

I think of California more as a part of Mexico now, but whatever.

This is why we have the electoral college. Back in 1789 the Founding Fathers worried that a few big states, back then NY and VA, would dominate national politics. They needed to protect the smaller states for the encroaching tentacles of the big ones, hence the electoral college.

Sorry folks, a couple of blue metro areas don't get to dictate to the rest of the country.

There are some blue states that are passing laws delegated their EV's to the popular vote winner. That will last just as long as it takes for Republican to win the popular vote + the electoral college including, say Maryland's electoral votes. It will be freaking hilarious, in the same way that Harriet Reid killed the filibuster of presidential appointments.....
