Not quite, California is a fringe liberal state that doesn't represent the majority of America. It is exactly the reason we have an electoral college in the first place. Showing that the majority of Americans actually voted for Trump if you hypothetically remove California from the equation is statistical perspective. Regardless, at the end of the day, irrelevant who won the popular vote, that's not how the president is elected.

Remember the only reason that Clinton beat trump by 3 million votes is that Gary Johnson Got over 5 million. Had Gary Johnson gotten the standard libertarian vote Trump would have won the popular vote and probably taken NM, CO and MN.

Weather channel ain't what it used to be. Seems like every time I'm surfing through that channel it has some sort of hyperbolic what-if disaster show on. It's better than Fox News/CNN though.

200 affluent people trapped waiting for a flight. We can't sell them upgrades or travel accessories? We can't better inform them about the flight experience or promote airport concessions?
What we have today is not informative news, but partisanship that is dividing an alienating people. Replacing the news feed with marketing efforts would be a win-win

California doesn't qualify as an "American" state?!?!?
Last I looked there were 50 states. Does this mean there are really 49 and those in your imaginary 50th can go ******* themselves?
Nice "democracy" you have going on here...
Venezuela, here we come!

If you include places our taxes go to. Guam, St Thomas, Puerto Rico etc, you can say there are 57. Obviously their votes don't count. But I for one and more infuriated my taxes for to those drug addict food stamp monorties. You think the Romans & Brits laid out enough to let us know colonialism doesn't work. What do I know. I just fly airplanes
