LET’S think a little more about this issue, which is adding fuel to anti-Trump street protests. From Minutemen News yesterday:

Looking at this morning’s numbers – the vote between Clinton and Trump is 395,595.   But, that’s not the end of the story.   The current reality is – if you factor in the votes for the other candidates on the ballot – more people voted against Hillary Clinton than voted for her.  The votes are still being counted, so who knows what the finally tally will be.  But, according to the numbers, as of this morning, 65,919,611 people voted NOT to elect Hillary Clinton as president.   That number exceeds the votes collected for her by almost 5.5 million people.

And, of course, since voter identification is not required we can never be confident in the vote tallies.

I think the story here, in all of this three ring circus sideshow “election” nonsense, is that – given that these final vote tallies always result in a very close margin of victory indicating that the country is divided basically right down the middle between liberal and “conservative,” Democrat and Republican – every “elected” POTUS, no matter who he is nor what he promised in his campaign, has been given a mandate by the “electorate” to govern from the center, or, rather, give off the appearance that he is governing from the center. In short, steady as she goes, as long as she continues on her leftward course.

Leftward the course of Empire makes its way; the first four acts already past, a fifth shall close the drama with the day. Time’s most degenerate offspring is the last. [With apologies to George Berkeley]
