| SanAndreasX said: Trump is only in office because of political affirmative action, a system that kneecaps California and New York in favor of Wyoming and North Dakota. More people voted for Clinton, and the majority in the Senate is razor thin. Trump does not exactly have a mandate. The silent majority is anything but. If Trump fails to make Democrats happy, he's likely to find himself in the same position in 2018 as Obama was in 2010: with an opposition-majority Congress that will cock-block him at every step of the way. And then he's going to have problems himself in 2020. Obama at least won the popular vote both types by acceptable margins. |
If you think the only small states are the reason why Trump won then you're sorely mistaken ...
Out of the top 10 most populated states he carried Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Michigan! (5 of the biggest swing states that Obama won in the last election! I didn't even think it was possible for him to win Pennsylvania!)
You don't win the electoral college with just states that have high voting power (Go ask Romney and see how that fared.). Trump's victory can't be undermined one bit when he can actually change voter demographics compared to Romney.
