Stop Obsessing Over the Meaningless Popular Vote
Just for fun, let’s look at the popular vote in detail. Here is the key.*** NO CANDIDATE WON THE POPULAR VOTE!!!” To win the popular vote you have to get over 50%, that is what a majority is. What Hillary Clinton won was a PLURALITY. She got 48.2% of the vote. Donald Trump got 46.5 % of the vote. Not a big difference. Now here is where it gets interesting. Bill Clinton in 1992 only got 42.9% of the popular vote… Which means, Donald Trump won more of the popular vote than Bill Clinton, and no one on the Left said a word about Bill Clinton not being a legitimate President. Bill Clinton won a plurality, just like many presidents before him. It happens all the time. There is nothing unusual about this election. Hillary won a plurality, nothing more, but lost the election. That’s the way it is.Intellectual Conservative « !!!

Your Say
Stuff that makes whiny, pissed diaper, crybabies scratch their pointy little retarded heads and go, "Hunh?"
Most of these losers are college debt bearers, eh?
Every one of them should sue the shit out of their college for fraud.
Say what?
None of them signed a contract with their school of choice stating said school will provide them employment in the field of their chosen profession upon successfully completing said course?
Why not?
I mean, EMPLOYMENT is what it's all for, right?
I did.
At a Vo-Tech.
At the beginning of 11th grade in 1970.
I'm working at that profession still, 44 years later, and I incurred NO DEBT from it.
My dad's taxes paid for ALL of it.
How is it possible for so many millions of people to become so retarded at the same time like this?
It's almost like it was planned this way, isn't it?

You're one up on me, Ghost.
I had forty years in my profession before the Chinese stole the technology and my last position, running Call Centers for BOA, was shipped to India.

Ghost, on what standing does that batch of snowflakes have to sue anyone for fraud in the educational system? They are getting precisely what they want and are cheerfully paying for in course offerings. They're being lovingly suffocated in snugly safety where never a discouraging word is heard all day.
Warm puppies and soft crying towels are available; five will get you ten, there is a secret pony for those special occasions.
They would be laughed out of court.

I was implying something veedub.
Why would anyone take 4 years worth of courses at huge expense with no guarantee for employment at the end?
When I signed up for the 2 year course at the vo-tech way back in 1970 there was a guarantee that ALL students that complete the course would be placed in employment. All the courses were structured such that there was no way a student could go all the way to the end and not be employable.
Today, it seems, that is not the case with the colleges. The proof is in all the liberal arts and social construct courses and extreme over emphasis on journalism types.
The colleges don't guarantee employment, the students don't demand it, so it doesn't get done.
It takes a special kind of idiot to take something like that on.
My implication was that the students should sue the colleges for fraud because there is no meaningful purpose for them to exist. I'm not talking about the STEM stuff.
Silly me, I thought you spent the first 15-20 years of your life preparing for the rest of your life. I am so out of the (current) loop,
