It's time to get a head start on excuses for Trumps blowout loss. I'll seed this to get you started:

Demonrats voted seven times each.
Hillary did it.
Comey, Brennan, Clapper and Obama
The election oversampled Democrats
Fake News

Feel free use this thread to make up excuses for the other stupid shit Trump does too. For example:

'He was never briefed on X'
'He didn't know that was a concentration camp symbol'
'He was kidding'


Just post the stupid thing he did and your list of excuses. Should be fun.
 
"We pay for Obama's travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf."

The only thing more humorous than these posts will be watching the degree to which the "trumpanzees" will further demean themselves trying to lie about them.
 
how about "The Demmycrats were stupid enough to think that Biden winning the popular vote would put him in the White House....even though we kept telling them there's this thing called the electoral college"........
 
Pee Pee thinks Dems do not know about the electoral college. It was in the constitution. It was known for almost 250 years. But reds discovered it. We just noticed the vote was always a total of electoral votes. It is how the TV stations keep track since TV election nights were started.

I get yelled at by Mrs. Moose when she sees me here. Can't really blame her. I have to hide what I'm doing. It's the closest I come to cheating on her.
 
This one is hilarious!

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.

Nordcunt thinks Demmycrats know about the electoral college, yet at least weekly one of them says, here on this very board, "but Clinton got 3M more votes".......

Good and fair question.

If I could waive my magic wand here would be my priorities:

1. Single payer health care. Before you scream socialism, here are the elements of what I'd do. Cover every single American for annual wellness visits, all preventative screenings, and hospitalizations. Allow employers to offer plans to their employees (like Medicare Advantage), and have a public option to compete with private plans. People could opt in to those plans (for a premium) or take basic coverage provided by 'Medicare for All'. Focus our health care priorities on prevention. We spend a ridiculous amount of money on people with diabetes and heart disease that are easily preventable by changing lifestyles and more tightly regulating food manufacturers. Sugar is killing people. Require Advanced Illness counseling. Half of our Medicare dollars are spent on people in the last year of the life. Doctors want to treat people. We have to allow people to make the choice to forgo treatment. From personal experience, I know many patients are pressured to 'fight' but are happier when they stop their treatments and focus on comfort.

2. Reform social security. If number 1 is effective, we will see an uptick in life expectancy, and we have not funded social security to adequately address that. We should look at what income is taxed to fund social security. We can easily increase revenues.

3. Raise the minimum wage. Yes, this will cause some inflation. Inflation is not inherently bad if it wages are rising at the same rate.

4. Tax reform. We are not taxing top incomes at anywhere near the rate they should be taxed. As part of the tax reform, we impose the one time wealth tax to retroactively address the disparity in wages and wealth.

5. Make public colleges free. I need to think about how exactly this would look, but it would involve raising admission standards and lowering costs. Other countries educate their best and brightest, we 'educate' our richest. That's stupid. We need to do the same for trade schools.

Those are a start. As part of all of this we need to address racial inequality, but much of what I'm proposing would do exactly that.

Very well-thought-out. There is no reason why we cannot afford to do these things. You've got my vote!

Socialism!
Actually some of those ideas aren't half bad!
I disagree with the socializing of medicine, though. That's a no-go.
That's why people from Canada come here to get fixed up before they die by waiting on the government medicine there.

Two things on that. First, the provider side remains fully private, although there would be a single fee schedule rather than multiple schedules and crazy contracts from individual plans. Second, on the payer side, while there is a single payer for the basic coverages, the plans I mentioned would be for profit plans administered by the insurance companies. It's really a hybrid plan with both public and private components. The most critical thing is that employers could still offer those private plans to employees, and they could still share in the cost, but the bulk of those premiums would come from the single payer. I do appreciate the question and the response. I actually consult with Medicare Advantage plans so I know how they work, and I think the model can be expanded to the larger population. Keep 'em coming. I like this type of discussion better than the trolling.
