The election is less than three months away now and according to polls, Clinton has opened up a sizeable lead over Republican nominee, megalomaniac Donald Trump. But Donald Trump has a crafty plan; just claim the election was rigged and get his echo chamber at Fox News, a.k.a. the Republican Propaganda Network to relay and repeat the message ad infinitum to the sheeple who watch it and bingo! – any result that doesn’t turn into a Trump victory is invalid.<\/p>\n

We saw this coming back during Con-a-thon 2012, when Donald Trump declared the election was rigged and said he would start a revolution<\/a>. But we never dreamed in a million years he would actually become the 2016 nominee. He and all Republicans will no doubt use the same old inevitable con that conservative Republicans always use; look at the electoral map and say “Wow! Look at all that red! How could the Democrats have won, when the majority of the map is sooooooo red!” They once again take advantage of American’s poor math skills and inability to grasp that square mileage doesn’t equal population.<\/p>\n

To truly grasp the electoral map, one needs to go to Nate Silver’s election site fivethirtyeight.com<\/a>.\u00a0 He has an electoral map that gives the true representation of what’s happening with the electoral vote, which is based on population<\/a>, and not the square mileage. So yes, for example, Montana has a lot of square mileage(147,164), but there are more people living in the 372.4 square miles of San Diego California (population: \u2248 1.356\u00a0million<\/span>) than in the whole state of Montana (population:\u00a0\u2248 1.024\u00a0million). So these calls by Trump and his fellow con artist Republicans stating that there’s no way he should be losing are absolute bunk according to Nate Silver’s site. Trump is losing and losing badly<\/a>. If you have any doubts, DO THE MATH!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Donald
Conservative Republicans and their cohorts in the corporate media are trying once again to push the old square mileage equals population ploy on its gullible audience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
