Love it when it snows

He won by a confluence of odd luck,

Yes. With never having run for office he defeated the biggest and best republican field, Ever. With the most primary votes. Ever. Then with a tiny campaign staff, spending a fraction of the money, and with most of his own party against him, and the media, and Hollywood, he defeated the most experienced person ever to run for president.

That’s some confluence of odd luck.

Then again, it turned out the most experienced person ever to run for president had never heard of the electoral college, and thought it was California and New York, and CNN.

So maybe the confluence of odd luck was going up against a bunch of deluded know-nothings. Who’d a thunk?

I was thinking of Mick Jagger, mahgister, who were you thinking of?

In the last 20 years we have had 2 Presdents elected with a minority of votes, in the previous 200+ years that only happened 2 times and 1 time the house decided. If this is something that continues with that frequency it will become unsubstainable and the electoral college will probably be relegated to the dustbin of history where it belongs. It’s just another remnant to get slave states to ratify the constitution anyway. Like the 2nd amendment was as well. 

I think that your reference was evidently John Lennon...We speak about world dictatorial leader no ?

Hackers got in there years ago and released thousands of emails documenting "scientists" and "researchers" coordinating on exactly how they would fake the data.

Hackers, of course, would never do anything shady with the data they steal. Like, fake it.
