Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him - CNNPolitics.com

A bunch of top officials including Obama and Biden substantiated CNN's story to the point that Kellyanne Conway went missing the next day after accusing CNN of fake news. Trump simply will not take on any serious or controversial questions unless they come from a shill.

Speaking of shills....

We asked two veterans of the CIA in the US and one former MI5 agent in Europe. They have 32 years of intelligence experience among them. All three had a low opinion of the document's quality.

The sources were not able to say outright that the document's information was false. Its contents remain mostly unverified, though Trump has called the document "fake news" and "a complete fraud." Some of its details have turned out to be wrong. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has denied having ever been to Prague, for instance, with intelligence agencies reportedly believing that a mention in the document of a meeting in Prague involving someone with that name refers to a different Michael Cohen. Other parts of it summarise matters of public record — former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's links to Ukraine, for instance.

CNN didn't report that the information was accurate. Only that it had been forwarded to Trump and his team. You understand the difference, right?

36. A Quinnipiac poll showed Trump’s favorability ratings continuing to slide to historic lows for modern day presidents: only 37% of Americans view Trump favorably.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...-age-of-trump/

TheQuinnipiac University poll had Trump approval rating at 37%, with "NBC News / Wall Street Journal" and the Gallup Poll had his rating seven points higher at 44%. The average of five pollster shown in the article was 41%.

Only half of eligible voters went out to vote the last election, and they split their vote. So lets say about 25% of Americans voted Trump into office. Now let's say his approval rating is the average, at 41%, then it looks like his approval rating went up 16 points. Keep the spin coming Chula, #lol@37%

The only thing Trump losing the popular vote told me is that a lot of people in California hate him. I don't live in California. I'm not also not someone who sexually identifies as a helicopter nor am I part of the Diet Coke "American liberal" majority that seem to hold thrall in that neck of the woods. Therefore, who cares? There's no magical right answer that'll make everyone happy anyway, but if they truly gave two fucks about putting the right candidate into office they'd have supported Sanders instead of Hillary to begin with.

The popular vote is comprised of everyone who voted in the entire country, not just California. I'm not sure why this strange notion that somehow it's all California has caught on among conservatives, but it's really dumb.

Trump is the most hated president of all time and lost the popular vote by a pretty staggering amount

These are not partisan arguments this is the reality that the guy who won wasn't the person the people wanted

The reality is that Trump won the majority of the Electoral College, 304 to 227. The Electoral College is a system that has been established in the US Constitution and has been the reality of the United States of America for the past two hundred and forty years. It would be interesting to see what kind of reality you live in where you can blatantly ignore that.
