Yep, and you can switch out ajax for Doc and racism for women-hating and that post would be just as true.

So, not a majority then.

because semantics is so relevant here, ok ya douche - but notice how you're the one still putting that meaningless stat of the 2016 popular vote on your pillow at night.

When a candidate isn't good enough to convince the majority of the people to vote for them, they might need the assistance of an electoral affirmative action program to make it into office. That's our Trump.

In 1860 more people voted for not-Lincoln than for Lincoln.

Man, would people have egg on their face if they claimed that a silent majority rose up and elected Lincoln and then found this out.

Does intelligence extend to conflating whether someone was elected with whether a majority of people/voters supported them? Asking for a friend.

Cool how you think mendacity Trump's facts.

Lincoln received a greater number of cast votes than any of the other three candidates in that election.

Aren't you the cuckold who went on a racist and sexist tirade against a black woman, and hires Hispanics under the table so you can get away with paying them cheaply and without health insurance? Wake me up when you grow some morality.

No, I'm the guy who has never been arrested for assaulting women. I'm also the guy who doesn't call women I don't know whores, whether they're going through chemo or not. That means I'm light years ahead of you on the morality spectrum. But being more moral than someone like you really isn't much to brag about.

You could always do an experiment with some conservative that does not know you. Shake their hand then lean in close and whisper into their ear, "Hail Hydra". Then ask them how they feel about Trump.

No need to move any goalposts; you just need to use a dictionary more often. Look up the word, majority.

Hint: majority is not restricted to “more than half”.
