Electoral College gives every state a voice

“This action will help ensure every vote is treated equally and places NY at the forefront of the battle for fairer elections and strengthen our democracy”, Cuomo said.

As the dust settles, it would appear that Trump will walk away with 306 electoral votes compared to Clinton’s 232. Others have interpreted it as a “white nationalist” rejection of the multicultural vision of the country espoused by Barack Obama. Wallace’s campaign showed where those messages would resonate; Trump showed they were still valid 50 years later – especially when combined with Nixon’s call for “law and order”, the cornerstone of his 1968 campaign.

As it stands right now, Trump received about the same number of votes nationwide as Mitt Romney did in 2012.

You could wait for the doctoral dissertations for proof, or you could look no further than the numbers being tallied in the Spokane County elections office.

Meanwhile, 43% gave Clinton an A or B.

That’s not something any president is going to be inclined to do, since they all would like to believe that a win by any margin, even a negative one, constitutes a “mandate” for them to follow up on everything they proposed doing during the campaign, whether those individual proposals were popular or not. Recent controversial appointments to Trump’s staff – including CEO of the right-wing tabloid site Breitbart Stephen Bannon and conspiracy theorist proponent and president of the Center for Security Policy Frank Gaffney – have also sparked alarm from organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Trump voters have high degree of confidence in – and high expectations for – the president-elect.

In the wake of his surprise presidential victory, Donald Trump’s favorability ratings have spiked upward. Democrat Al Gore capitulated ignominiously, and congressional Democrats proceeded to enact Bush’s tax cuts for the rich and rubber-stamp his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

– White voters, who make up 69% of the total, voted 58% for Trump and 37% for Clinton. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president and his election marked the rise of a new anti-slavery party based in the rapidly industrializing north.

So if I’m with a progressive I can say honestly, “I voted for Hillary”. Republican and Democratic party insiders like them. Since November 2008, about 60 percent of Republicans have said that they want their party to become more conservative.

Democrats are not looking to kiss and make up after the bruising election. Given our country’s ugly history with slavery, the system is inherently flawed to continue silencing minorities, most of whom live in cities and states that are typically blue.

But in 2008, in the race between Barack Obama and John McCain, it nearly did. When voters are asked to summarize their feelings about Trump’s victory in a word, the unexpected nature of the result is reflected. Here is hoping that will be the case with Donald Trump, the 45th President of the Untied States. For Clinton voters, “shocked” is the most frequent response, followed by “disappointed” and “disgusted”. According to Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight, “states whose voters have a disproportionate amount of influence may be in no mood to give it up”. They give abysmal grades to the press and pollsters, whose pre-election surveys were widely criticized.

Despite every indication to the contrary or every lead, members of this same lazy, evil, uber-liberal and majority wing of the US media stuck to their guns of telling their viewers and readers that Donald Trump was on his way to a loss, or that he had a near-impossible path to the US Presidency.

Trump has captured 25 states, while Clinton has won 16 states.

Voters pessimistic on how Trump will impact race relations. Among Clinton voters, 84% expect race relations to worsen under Trump. Since the election, his popularity has improved quite a bit. We need a long-term, non-partisan strategy to study this issue more fully, experiment with new methods, and we need to do this in partnership with government officials from both parties, researchers, advocates, and all Americans – whites and people of color, religious and secular, young and old, rich and poor.
