I love charts and percentages and stuff like that. I look forward to balancing my checkbook.

Trumps victory was shallow in many ways.

Y’all gonna put a (D) in Stefaniks seat?

3. Thanks! And this proves that his shallow win is not the mandate that TFG claims it is.

As for the next Rep. for NY-21, nothing has been discussed that I'm aware of, but she did replace an incumbent moderate Democrat who retired and there were protests immediately following her election and in the following months she refused to publicize her schedule because she knew that protesters would show up. *fingers crossed*

7. Exactly. What does it take to get everyone to wake up to the fact that he lies?!

And what does it say about those who voted for him knowing that everything he says is a lie? And what effect does this have on a country who has a proven liar in the highest office in the land? Who will trust us?

Trump did not get 50.1% of the popular vote. The video confirmed he was below 50%. It's currently 49.9% and continues to drop as more votes are counted.
