As usual, you're wrong. But then, you belong to a group that claims that 
Trump won the vast majority the popular vote!

The problem may be ignorance of the definition of "vast." Look it up.

(I know. You won't trust any definition, because dictionaries may be 
published by the evil left wing.)

:-)  Says the man who has told us he never wears a helmet! He's so

dispute me. I think he needs psychological therapy - but he'd be too 
afraid to talk to a therapist.
