Soxbadger Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 10:13 AM) I hope you don't have to be right in your job. You cannot lose something you never competed for. I guess I should go around and say I lost the 2016 Presidential Election. And the 2016 World Series. Oh wait....smh Your comparisons are distinguishable. You are trying to semantically argue that eventhough Trump and Clinton went head to head, and even though Clinton had more votes, Trump didnt "technically" lose the popular vote because winning the popular vote wasnt a condition precedent to winning the election. The problem is that the definition of "lose" does not include "had to have competed for". Lose- be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something). Trump was deprived of having more votes in the popular election. Aka Trump "lost" the popular election. I can win on semantics, I can win on facts. But please find a definition of lost that includes "has to have competed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone cant admit that 65 > 62, there really is just no point in discussing anything. The better example of his comparisons would have been: Team A and Team B compete in a game of basketball. Team A wins the game, but team B out rebounds team A 50 to 1. Someone writes an article saying that team A "lost" the rebound battle. And a team A supporter argues "team A didnt lose the rebound battle because they werent competing for rebounds."

I am capable of fact checking. Unemployment 2008: 6.5% 2016: 4.9% Health Insurance Premiums have dropped since ACA was passed National Debt Rose 55% while GWB was in office Rose 57% while BHO was in office https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports...debt_histo5.htm Poverty Rates 2008: 13.5% 2016: 13.5% But this is the difference between me and most Trump votes (present company included). While you depend on Facebook memes to make life decisions, I am capable of doing my own fact-checking like the educated adult I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
