Hillary Clinton's margin of victory approaches 2.4 million

Donald Trump is the president-elect and yet the popular vote lead for failed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton continued to grow Wednesday. The former secretary of state led by 2.37 million votes over Trump, according to a Cook Political Report analysis.

Clinton has registered 64,902,584 votes to Trump's 62,536,347. That's good for a 1.8 percentage point lead, a slight uptick from earlier this week when Clinton led by 1.7 percentage points. Clinton's popular vote lead is unlikely to move much from where it currently stands.

Of course, the election is not decided by popular vote but rather the Electoral College. Trump scored important victories in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania to earn 306 electoral votes, well over the 270 needed to clinch the presidency.

The recount efforts are likely all for naught, however.

Stein's recount is essentially based on the theory that there were irregularities with voting machines. While Clinton's campaign has said it would assist in the effort in order to "to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides," it also said it had seen no evidence of discrepancies. Clinton allies have even said the recount isn't worth the effort.

We will just have to wait and see not only what develops, but how it develops. It would take something stunning for it to result in a reversal.

Bae, dude... take a Xanax and try to calm down. You're going to have to come to grips that Trump is POTUS. And nothing is going to change that. No amount of needing a safe-space, or foot stomping, or protests are going to change this.
Your hopes were raised by the misleading left-leaning mainstream media. Funny how the left leaves you hanging, huh?

You apparently didn't read my post about what Bush planned to do if he lost the E.C. but won the popular vote. Here you go: http://www.newsfixboard.com/t18760-flashback-george-w-bush-planned-to-fight-if-he-won-popular-vote-but-lost-electoral-college

What's good for the goose, motherfucker.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you could explain to me how the right has suddenly changed its stance on whether poor people should be treated like stray animals:

Admit it already, your political movement has embraced identity politics that would put Al Sharpton to shame.

I get the distinct feeling that you don't believe it yourself.  I don't blame you.  You've seen how litigious Pussy Grabber is when he's an ordinary citizen; imagine the litigation he's going to get when he is sworn in.

And when he loses?  Lordy what a temper tantrum we'll see.  The Mexican Judge from Indiana will seem like calisthenics and warm-ups.  It will be fun.  

I seriously think that Trump will resign, himself, when he sees what he is up against.  He is incredibly naive about law and politics, and he has a very rude awakening before him.  Religious discrimination; sexist discrimination; national origin discrimination...all in addition to the machinations of domestic politics and geopolitics--as if he didn't alienate most of the population already, he is going to get a very discourteous awakening.  He hides behind a wall (no pun intended) of lawyers, who protect him, yes, but who also don't tell him how thin are his legal parapets.  He is used to getting his way, and he has surrounded himself with lawyers who are used to being incautious in their opinions as a by-product of winning or easily settling.  But Trump and his lawyers are up against a far more formidable opponent in the élite of the nation, the United States Congress, and the many opponents Trump has made who can't be bought off with cash or cabinet appointments.

At stake are some $10-billion in real estate and other assets, on the one hand, and the presidency of the United States, on the other hand.  No other individual has been as wealthy as Trump is, and been elected to the office.  Thus, no other individual has been expected to give up so much as has Donald Trump.  While, to others giving up other holdings has been negligible, to Trump it means giving up a whole industry.

Let's focus in on his assets.  They are primarily hotels, resorts and golf courses.  In other words, they are assets in the retail public service industry.  This is the high-cash, most easily penetrated industry in the world.  They are open, out in front, and terribly vulnerable.  They are easy targets of emolument, and just as easily targets of insurgency.  All of this means that Trump will be beholden and and accepting to foreign nations and potentates.  It's a rich and ripe field for bribery--to which Trump is no stranger--and dependency, and ultimately places the President in a position of extortion and vulnerability toward foreign powers.

He is immediate violation of Article I, section 9, clause 8 of the Constitution as soon as he takes office.  Legally, domestically, he will be the constant target of litigants in the Courts, which as seen, makes him subject to allegations in every lawsuit.  Politically, he will be vulnerable to Congress, which with the snap of the fingers can bring impeachment proceedings against him.  In addition to the entire Democratic Party, there are many, many abused Republicans licking their wounds and looking for a payback opportunity.  Geopolitically, he will be subject to extraordinary gifts as well as penalties against his private holdings by foreign states and potentates.  

It will all come down on him privately...with all of his holdings so widespread.  He will be shouldering a burden much greater than any President before him, and eventually he will lose, because frankly, he is in the wrong.  He has been able to survive so far by juggling the balls, and keeping them in aloft, while he figures out his next step.  But he will no longer be in that driver's seat.  His plan is to have the children take over, which leaves him with the worst of both worlds: it won't shield him from conflict-of-interest issues, but also he won't be there to add his personal juggling touch.  He will lose heavily and repeatedly, and eventually he will be handed a writ mandating he divest himself of his company anyway.

Does he need this?  This guy with homes in every corner of the world?  This guy with an Air Force One already?  This guy with a couple of Marine One helicopters already?  All he is buying into is a bunch of wolves nipping at his heels.  Other presidents...it's the best they could hope for.  With him...it's just a whole can of smashed assholes.  There's nothing for him to gain by holding this office.

He will resign...I predict in the first two years.
