Fair enough.

Back to the old twisting words thing again. It's just opposing opinions man. I say up, you say down. Let's move on.

Agreed.

The night before the election the news had Pennsylvania solidly in Hillary Clinton's column, which didn't pan out for her. Then went on how Trump had an uphill battle to win all the flip states while at the same time keeping all the Romney/Paul states. You can play Monday night quarterback with the intentions of Floridian Libertarians, but it was the Rust Belt that rallied behind Trump gave him the presidency.

Agreed. Mostly.

Your math is wrong here though. She'd need much more than just 46% of those votes to win:

I'm feeble.

You say "up, because!" I say "down, because of ****ing gravity you moron."

That being said, if you can back up your point I will admit to twisting your words. But until then...

What "point" are we talking about here?

That Johnson's votes are responsible for Hillary losing Florida. That thing we've been discussing this whole time.

I assume that a majority of his votes would have gone to Clinton.

You assume that a majority of his votes would have gone to Trump.

There is no point.

I'm still gonna kill people

It's not just majority. It would have to be a landslide in Clinton's favor.

Err, no. My "assumption" is based on things like the reality of voter ideologies. Yours is based on the canon that everyone who votes for third party is doing it out of protest (as opposed to siding with their beliefs) and the liberal echo chamber that you live in. If they would have swung to Hillary if there were only two options, those that voted Johnson would have voted for Stein BECAUSE. OF. HOW. MUCH. CLOSER. JOHNSON'S. VIEWS. ARE. TO. TRUMP'S. THAN. THEY. ARE. TO. HILLARY'S.

Oh ja, I want to gloat too: this is what you get for not voting for Bernie, Chula.
