周三，230名民主党众议院议员决定拒绝接受选择唐纳德·特朗普为总统的304名选民。
另一种思考方式是，230名众议院民主党人觉得他们比62，979，636名投票给特朗普的美国人更有权利决定谁应该当总统。显然，在议长南希·佩洛西的核心小组中，他们认为每个民主党议员都超过了273，824名投票给特朗普的美国人。毕竟，他们的提名人告诉他们特朗普选民“可悲”
左翼希望忘记特朗普以压倒性优势赢得选举团，希拉里·克林顿以304比227获胜。
左翼倾向于强调前国务卿赢得了普选，但他们总是忽视这样一个现实，即如果你把加州排除在外，特朗普在其余49个州拥有1405004票的多数。只有特朗普没有竞选的加州的巨大优势让克林顿获得了多数席位。
事实上，有充分的理由相信，如果普选是获胜的关键，特朗普会在加州竞选并缩小克林顿的优势。
具有讽刺意味的是，特朗普是他第一次竞选的业余选手，他明白根据我们的宪法，赢得选举团是决定性的，而普选是无关紧要的。克林顿，她成年后一直从政，显然忘记了宪法对选举团而不是普选的强调。
我们现在知道人们开始写作谈到早在2016年4月弹劾候选人特朗普，就在他赢得选举并就职的几个月前。
如果你看看在任何人知道乌克兰电话之前弹劾特朗普的民主党人数，你就会知道弹劾是一个等待借口的事件。乌克兰的电话没有导致弹劾运动。弹劾运动一直在寻找借口，当特别顾问罗伯特·穆勒的报告崩溃而没有发现总统有罪时，弹劾者拼命寻找他们可以利用的东西。
弹劾者发现了乌克兰的电话；电话没有找到弹劾者。
所有这些中最发人深省的是，腐败、傲慢和不诚实的程度之深已经影响了整个国家，尤其是深层国家。
对总统和他的家人来说，这一异常痛苦的过程实际上可能是一场全国性的不诚实和腐败曝光的开始，这种曝光的规模是我们任何人都没有想到的。
迈克尔·霍罗威兹监察长关于联邦调查局渎职行为的报告；事实上，这份报告证实了共和党众议院情报委员会主席德文·努内斯的许多主要主张，并削弱了他的继任者亚当·希夫的主张；李·史密斯的书反对总统的阴谋，是在众议院情报委员会共和党人的帮助下写成的；老牌新闻媒体与最不诚实、在许多情况下最违法的深层国家因素之间的明显联系；十多年来我国政府对阿富汗冲突状况的不诚实报道；联邦通信委员会报告说，主要电话公司谎报了他们为美国农村地区提供的移动覆盖范围——我们一次又一次地看到美国系统的崩溃，这相当于整个机构结构的危机。
随着民主党的虚假弹劾程序进一步削弱了他们自己的可信度和虚假新闻媒体的可信度，左翼将越来越没有能力自卫。
随着普通美国人对我们主要城市街道上的粪便越来越反感，学校无法让学生为通过基础考试做好准备，地区检察官认为他们可以选择实施哪些法律，起诉哪些违法者，特朗普主义崛起背后的能量将继续增长。
密歇根州数以千计为总统欢呼的人比230名民主党众议院议员佩洛西假装严肃而不庆祝的演讲更真实、更重要。
民主党人已经战胜了这场旋风，他们将在2020年开始收获它。

DEMOCRATS ARE IGNORING THE REALITY THAT TRUMP WON THE ELECTION—AND IS STILL WINNING | OPINION
On Wednesday, 230 Democratic House members decided to repudiate the 304 electors who chose Donald Trump to be president.
Another way to think of it is that 230 House Democrats felt they had more of a right to decide who should be president than the 62,979,636 Americans who voted for Trump. Apparently, in the Speaker Nancy Pelosi caucus, they thought each Democratic congressman outweighed 273,824 Americans who voted for Trump. After all, their nominee told them Trump voters were "deplorable."
The left wants to forget that Trump actually won the Electoral College in a landslide, 304 to 227 for Hillary Clinton.
The left prefers to emphasize that the former secretary of state won the popular vote, but they always ignore the reality that if you take California out of the equation, Trump had a 1,405,004 vote majority in the remaining 49 states. Only the huge margin in California, where Trump did not campaign, gave Clinton her claim to a majority.
In fact, there is every reason to believe that had popular vote been the key to victory, Trump would have campaigned in California and cut into Clinton's margin.
Ironically, Trump, the amateur in his first race, understood that under our Constitution winning the Electoral College was decisive and the popular vote was irrelevant. Clinton, who had been in politics her entire adult life, apparently forgot the Constitution's emphasis on the Electoral College rather than the popular vote.
We now know that people began writing and talking about impeaching candidate Trump as early as April 2016, months before he won the election and was inaugurated.
If you look at the number of Democrats who were for impeaching Trump before anyone knew anything about a Ukrainian phone call, you know that impeachment was an event waiting for an excuse. The Ukrainian phone call did not lead to the impeachment movement. The impeachment movement had been looking for an excuse, and when special counsel Robert Mueller's report collapsed without finding the president guilty of anything, the impeachers desperately looked for something they could use.
The impeachers found the Ukrainian phone call; the call did not find the impeachers.
The most sobering aspect of all this is the profound level of corruption, arrogance and dishonesty that has infected the national establishment in general and the deep state in particular.
This extraordinarily painful process for the president and his family may, in fact, be the beginning of a national exposure of dishonesty and corruption on a scale none of us would have thought possible.
President Donald Trump leaves his "Merry Christmas" rally on December 18 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
The combination of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on malfeasance in the FBI; the fact that the report verifies many major assertions by Devin Nunes, as the Republican House Intelligence Committee chairman, and undercuts those of his successor, Adam Schiff; Lee Smith's book The Plot Against the President, written with the help of the House Intelligence Committee Republicans; the clear linkage of the establishment news media to the most dishonest and in many cases law-breaking elements of the deep state; the reports on over a decade of dishonesty from our government about the state of the conflict in Afghanistan; and the Federal Communications Commission report that major telephone companies lied about the amount of mobile coverage they provided rural America—again and again we are seeing the breakdown of the American system in ways that amount to a crisis of the entire establishment structure.
As the Democrats' fake impeachment process further weakens both their own credibility and the credibility of the fake news media, the left will have less and less ability to defend itself.
As the average American grows disgusted with feces in the streets of our major cities, schools that cannot prepare students to pass basic exams, district attorneys who believe they can pick and choose which laws to enforce and which lawbreakers to prosecute, the energy behind the rise of Trumpism is going to continue to grow.
The thousands in Michigan cheering the president were vastly more real and more important than the 230 Democratic House members Pelosi was lecturing to pretend to be solemn and not celebrate.
The Democrats have sewn the whirlwind, and in 2020 they will begin to reap it.
