Ah. Well at any rate Trump claims to be leaving it so that's some silver lining.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Trump can't leave it since it was already signed and passed.

It's already a go.

It has been this way since forever though.

^ Democracy works best if an informed electorate votes for a leader who respects citizens' rights and the democratic process itself. FTFY

( Your original remark - which perhaps you are implying, quite falsely, is what I think - is uncannily similar to Trump's own stance about contesting the election if Clinton won.)

There were 3 instances during the 1800s where the winner of the election lost the popular vote. 1824 - Adams, 1876 - Hayes, and 1888 - Harrison. There were strong suspicions of voter fraud and corruption in each case.

Only happened twice since. 2000 - Bush, and now 2016 - Trump.

Pretty amazing if you think about it.

I hope those voters show up during the mid term elections but I highly doubt they will.

Since most people don't really show up that much for mid term and only really pay attention during presidential campaigns.
