(25,929 posts)Same with all the nonsense about Hillary Clinton being the real President. She's not.

(25,929 posts)exactly how we elect our Presidents.
Popular vote hardly matters. It's the Electoral College, something that probably made a great deal of sense in the 18th century, not so much these days. Nonetheless, Trump won enough states to get the Electoral College in his corner. Get over it.
People here waste far too much energy about President Hillary Clinton or President Nancy Pelosi, and don't seem to be at all focused on the incredible damage that has been done so far with the rollback of regulations. of people appointed as heads of departments they know nothing about and have no use for.
Even when (or possibly if) we win back the Senate and the Presidency in 2020, it's going to be nearly impossible to undo what has been done already, and that gives me a profound feeling of despair.

(25,929 posts)Our system has no means of having a do-over. So no, Hillary is not the rightful president.
Trump does need to be impeached or in some way removed from office, but it's hard to imagine that happening. I don't think Republican Senators will go to him, as they did to Nixon in 1974, and tell him he needs to step down. Unfortunately.

(2,146 posts)Unless she runs again and wins she will never be POTUS.
That's a fact.
There is NO Constitutional mechanism for her to be POTUS unless Dumpster and Pence go and Speaker Pelosi gives up her line to being POTUS..You think that happens before 2020...please.
