THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION- SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. PART 6.

Presidential Election, Usa, Politics 
(BELOW REPRINTED FROM PART 5.)

THE REPUBLICAN TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES FROM 2012-2016 INCREASED +2,046,375.

MORE THAN HALF OF THAT INCREASE CAME FROM ONLY 4 STATES.

CARE TO GUESS WHICH ONES?

MICHIGAN. +164,287.

PENNSYLVANIA.  +290,299.

OHIO.  +179,568.

FLORIDA.  +454,439.

TOTAL: 1,088,593.
***************************************************************************************************************

To help put this in proper perspective, consider the following:

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY INCREASED THEIR NATIONAL VOTE COUNT BY +2,046,375. 
(2012- 2016).

THE ABOVE 4 STATES ACCOUNT FOR +1,088,593 OF THIS INCREASE.(53.2%)

THAT MEANS THAT THE REMAINING 46 STATES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 
THE OTHER 957,782 VOTES. (46.8%).

MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, FLORIDA had a combined increase in REPUBLICAN
VOTES SO LARGE, THAT IT SURPASSED ALL OTHER STATES ADDED TOGETHER.

However, sometimes huge gains in NUMBERS OF VOTES WASN'T ENOUGH TO CLINCH A VICTORY. THAT, AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOMEONE MIGHT REALIZE THAT RUSSIAS HACKING, AND RELEASE OF DATA DETRIMENTAL TO HILLARY CLINTON, COULD NEVER BE QUANTIFIED INTO HOW MANY VOTES WOULD BE EITHER GAINED OR LOST. THIS MAY HAVE LED TO POSSIBLE VARIATIONS IN HOW THE FINAL VOTE COUNT COULD BE MANIPULATED.

(Which leads to the following: WHY IS THERE AN ASSUMPTION THAT RUSSIA, AND ONLY RUSSIA, COULD BE GUILTY OF TAMPERING WITH THE ELECTION RESULTS. THE RUSSIANS HACKING INTO COMPUTER FILES TO GATHER INFORMATION TO BE USED AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON IS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM INTENTIONALLY ALTERING BALLOT COUNTS).

FOR THIS EXAMPLE, LET US BRING ANOTHER ONE OF THE 6 STATES THAT CHANGED SUPPORT FROM DEMOCRAT TO REPUBLICAN FOR THE 2016 ELECTION.

WISCONSIN.

In 2016 Wisconsin the REPUBLICAN PARTY WON THE STATE BY A VOTE OF:
1,405,284- 1,382,586. Another narrow victory.

Oddly enough, they did this while accumulating LESS VOTES THAN IT HAD IN 2012.
THE REDUCTION WAS ONLY -2682, BUT IT WAS A REDUCTION. I GUESS
WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS SAW NO GREAT NEED TO TURN OUT THE VOTE.

Well, they were right. THE DEMOCRATS, WHO HAD BEATEN THE REPUBLICANS
BY ABOUT 7% OF THE VOTE IN 2012, LOST NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION
VOTES IN 2016. (-238,449.).

INTERESTING.


THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION- SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. PART 5.

There are many things that THE DISCIPLINES OF LOGIC AND CRITICAL THINKING CAN DO, THAT BENEFIT US AS INDIVIDUALS, AND SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. Unfortunately, it means, that sometimes, we have to see things as they really are, not as we want them to be.

With that in mind, "PRESIDENT ELECT" DONALD TRUMPS CONTINUING ABILITY TO PROVE THAT HE CARES VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE, MAY FINALLY BE LIFTING THE VEIL OF IGNORANCE FROM SOME OF THOSE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED HIM. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND MY READERS OF AN OBSERVATION I MADE A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO:

"No, Hard Core Trump Supporters go far beyond the Republican Party "Revolution." To them, Hate, Prejudice, Xenophobia, Racism,and Religious Zealotry are not Abstract Concepts to be studied, but Tangible and Useful Tactics to Influence Fanatics of every Stripe, and scare more Rational Potential Voters."

"What is Rule #1- What Donald Trump has Done or Said, or will Do or Say, MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS LONG AS HE TOES THE EXTREMIST LINE."


FROM THE FEATURE ARTICLE:  "MESSAGE TO ALL PROGRESSIVES: DON'T YOU SEE IT, EVEN NOW? PART 2."



Now we have the INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TELLING CONGRESS, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THAT THERE IS STRONG EVIDENCE THAT RUSSIA HAS HACKED INTO THIS COUNTRIES COMPUTER SYSTEM, AND LEAKED INFORMATION THAT BENEFITED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DURING THE LAST ELECTION.

Yes, DONALD TRUMP IGNORES THIS POSSIBILITY, AND RIDICULES THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FOR EVEN CONSIDERING IT.  However, This Obvious "CONFLICT OF INTEREST," make his Assertions of Dubious Quality, together with the fact that he offers no reasonable answers to refute the evidence being offered to Congress.

HOWEVER, IT COULD GET MUCH WORSE, AND HERE'S WHY:

WHAT IF THE ELECTION RESULTS WERE TAMPERED WITH?

Consider the following;

AS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ASSERT, HE DID GET MORE THAN +2,000,000 VOTES THAN
ROMNEY DID IN 2012.

YES HE DID, BUT WHERE WAS THAT INCREASE FROM? AS I HAVE ALREADY POINTED OUT IN AN EARLIER POST, THERE WERE ALMOST 8 MILLION MORE VOTES CAST FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016 THAN THERE WERE IN 2012.  That is hardly a ringing endorsement, and is one of the reasons his % of the vote was smaller than ROMNEYS.

HERE IS A FIGURE YOU CAN CONTEMPLATE AS A LEAD IN TO PART 6:

THE REPUBLICAN TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES FROM 2012-2016 INCREASED. +2,046,375

MORE THAN HALF OF THAT INCREASE CAME FROM ONLY 4 STATES.


CARE TO GUESS WHICH ONES?

MICHIGAN. +164,287.

PENNSYLVANIA.  +290,299.

OHIO.  +179,568.

FLORIDA.  +454,439.

TOTAL: 1,088,593.

STAY TUNED...

THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION- SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. PART 2.

Trump, Us President, Usa, Policy
In part 1 , I laid out statistics that raise questions about the Validity of the election results in 3 States; MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WISCONSIN. These States, and their Electoral Votes,
is where the outcome of the election rested.

We will look at these results more closely, but first...

A LITTLE MORE BACKGROUND INFO.

As I related in Part 1, Hillary Clinton won the Popular Vote by about 3 Million Votes, (2.87 Million). In the end, her percentage of the National Vote was 48.06% to Trumps 45.97%. TOTALS: CLINTON- 65,844,610, TRUMP- 62,979,636.

It is True that Trump accumulated 2.05 Million more votes than Mitt Romney did in 2012.
However, there were almost 8 Million more votes cast for President in 2016 than there were in 2012. 
(2012- 129,085,409     2016- 137,045,863)
This is why Trumps 45.97% was less than Romneys 47.20%.

Yes, Hillary Clinton did not get as many votes as Barack Obama did in 2012.
Here is the difference: Obama- 65,915,795, Clinton- 65,844,610. A Difference of 71,185 Votes.
These Numbers, in practical terms, are a wash. The Difference is so miniscule, that the totals would be considered one and the same. Like Romney/Trump, the increase in the total number of ballots from 2012- 2016 caused the difference in Percent of Votes Received Nationwide.

2012: Obama- 51.06%

2016: Clinton- 48.06%

So between 2012 and 2016, the Democrats saw a Decrease of 3%, the Republicans 1.23%
In the end, the Republicans increased their Percentage of the National Vote by less than 2%

These are hardly the Numbers of a POLITICAL REVOLUTION. IN REALITY, THERE WAS
NO REAL REJECTION OF HILLARY CLINTON, NOR A VAST AMOUNT OF INCREASED SUPPORT FOR REPUBLICANS BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP.

THIS IS NOT THE REAL STORY. THE REALITY OF THE 2016 ELECTION LIES ELSEWHERE...
STAY TUNED...

THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION- SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. PART 3.


Presidential, 2016, American Flag











Now, you might might be thinking: "Well, what about the other States? I bet there were big changes elsewhere, and your just ignoring them."

Keep in mind that I have been focusing on MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WISCONSIN, BECAUSE OF THEIR IMPORTANCE IN DETERMINING VICTORY IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.  HOWEVER, I HAVE PURPOSEFULLY AVOIDED 3 OTHER STATES; FLORIDA, IOWA, AND OHIO, JUST TO SEE IF I WOULD GET ANY REACTION. I DID'NT, SO IN A FUTURE POST THE ANALYSIS WILL INCLUDE THESE STATES, BECAUSE OF THEIR IMPORTANCE IN THE OUTCOME OF THE 2016 ELECTION.

However, there are 44 other States. How did the TRUMP "REVOLUTION" AFFECT THEM?

Well, this was suppose to be a resurgence of "CONSERVATIVE IDEALS." In fact, Donald Trump
ran on A Mix of EXTREMIST BELIEFS THAT PROMOTED MISOGYNISTIC, XENOPHOBIC, AND RACIST ATTITUDES AMONG THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OFTEN UNDER A MASK OF RELIGIOUS ZEALOTRY. HOWEVER, THESE ATTITUDES AND BELIEFS SHOULD NOT BE ASSIGNED TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP JUST BECAUSE THEY MAY DISAGREE WITH PROGRESSIVE/LIBERAL IDEALS. TRUMP WENT FAR BEYOND WHAT TRUE CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE.

To be fair, let us start by looking at the 24 States who voted REPUBLICAN IN 2012 AND 2016.

Now, with Traditionally Blue States like MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WISCONSIN SEEING GIGANTIC SHIFTS IN VOTER SUPPORT, RESULTING IN REPUBLICAN "VICTORIES", TRADITIONALLY RED STATES SHOULD HAVE SEEN EVEN LARGER TURNOUTS AND TRIUMPHS IN THEIR STATE ELECTIONS.

Uh, No.

In the case of the 24 States, TRUMP CARRIED A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE REPUBLICAN VOTE IN 12 STATES, ROMNEY IN 11, WITH ONE STATISTICAL TIE.

This is a list of every STATE that Voted for the Republican Candidate for President in 2012 and 2016.
It is followed by which Candidate, ( ROMNEY- 2012, TRUMP- 2016), Received a higher % of the Republican Vote for that State.

ALABAMA- TRUMP: 62.08%.- 60.55%                               
ALASKA-  ROMNEY: 54.80%- 51.28%
ARIZONA- ROMNEY: 53.65%- 48.67%
ARKANSAS- TIE- 60.57%
GEORGIA- ROMNEY: 53.30%- 50.77%
IDAHO- ROMNEY: 64.53%- 59.26%
INDIANA- TRUMP: 56.82%- 54.13%
KANSAS- ROMNEY: 59.71%- 56.65%
KENTUCKY- TRUMP: 62.5%- 60.49%
LOUISIANA- TRUMP: 58.09%- 57.78%
MISSISSIPPI- TRUMP: 57.94%- 55.28%
MISSOURI- TRUMP: 56.77%- 53.76%
MONTANA- TRUMP: 56.17%- 55.35%
NEBRASKA- ROMNEY: 59.80%- 58.75%
NORTH CAROLINA- ROMNEY: 50.39%- 49.83%
NORTH DAKOTA- TRUMP: 62.96%- 58.32%
OKLAHOMA- ROMNEY: 66.77%- 65.32%
SOUTH CAROLINA- TRUMP: 54.94%- 54.56%
SOUTH DAKOTA- TRUMP: 61.53%- 57.89%
TENNESSEE- TRUMP: 60.72%- 59.48%
TEXAS- ROMNEY: 57.17%- 52.23%
UTAH- ROMNEY: 72.79%- 45.54%
WEST VIRGINIA- TRUMP: 68.63%- 62.30%
WYOMING- ROMNEY: 68.64- 67.40%

UTAHS LARGE MARGIN BETWEEN
2012- 72.79%, 2016- 45.54% COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED
BY THE 21.54% EARNED BY EVAN MCMULLEN(IND.)
IN 2016.

In the other 23 States, the LARGEST INCREASE in percent of the vote from
2012 ----- 2016: WEST VIRGINIA: + 6.33%.

THE LARGEST DECREASE 2012-----2016: IDAHO: - 5.27%.

REMEMBER THESE ARE "RED STATES." THERE ARE NO CHANGES,
STATISTICALLY, THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED BEYOND NORMAL
PARAMETERS. DONALD TRUMPS CANDIDACY CAUSED NO UNUSUAL
CHANGES IN THE % OF PRO-REPUBLICAN VOTERS WHO TURNED OUT
FOR THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.


HMMMMM!!
