While the battle continues for leftists still unable to deal with the shellacking their candidate took in the presidential election, statistical data illustrates the extent of dislike for her throughout most of the nation.   

Detailed information regarding the electoral results was sent by a friend this morning and is presented intact, as follows: 

“Our Founders in their infinite wisdom created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation? 

“The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet and it should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.

“There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country.” 

In the leftists desperation, a last ditch effort was made to pressure electors to abandon their constituents preferences and cast their votes for Trump’s opponent. Much was made of a group of celebrities, led by Martin Sheen, whom banded together in a video intended to overturn the vote of 37 Republican electors thereby preventing Trump's win in the electoral college.

While the video obviously had no effect whatsoever on the election’s outcome, the fact that the effort was made by “celebrities” highlighted an interesting aspect of those in that category. Particularly because so few of them, if any, are qualified in any way to foist their opinions or beliefs on the general public, or anyone else. In fact, their actual political knowledge and general intellectuality may be less than most others.  
 
In that regard, the video was remindful of a business undertaking several years ago where an added benefit was given to customers who arranged equipment financing through our organization. At that time, any applicant approved for financing would also be given an additional “pre-approved line-of-credit” for future acquisitions predicated on  their businesses’ financial condition when originally reviewed. 

In introducing the marketing program, a video was made for which actors were hired to play the roles of credit applicants and naturally, sales personnel. The scenes took place in an equipment suppliers office, where actor “salespeople” described the “pre-approval” process to highly interested suppliers, eager to sell even more equipment in the future without extending any further effort on the financing side of the arrangement.            

When preparing the scripts, there were many aspects addressed that were specific to our particular industry and its practices, requiring the actors to deliver them in a natural manner, as if involved in the daily selling process themselves. And, after some rehearsal, that’s precisely what those professional actors did. The video production came off without a hitch. 

To this day, I can remember putting that video together, particularly because at that time there were 125 highly trained, successful sales personnel on my own staff. Yet, here were a group of “actors” who wouldn’t know what an equipment lease was if it stepped up and bit them. But, nonetheless, with a scene in their minds and a writer/director, me, telling them what to say and do, and when and where, they performed perfectly in the moment as if they too were consummate professionals in our business. Certainly appearing and sounding like one of my own. 

And that’s when I realized precisely what first class actors are. Because they’re primarily like mindless robots to be programmed by whoever hires them, writes their scripts, directs their actions and sets them in particular motions. And the better those actors are at their jobs, the more believable their performances are. It’s only until they’re required to think and do for themselves that they become incapable of functioning independently.    

Which means the presidential election turned out exactly as it should have. The decision to elect Trump came from “real” people in all walks of life, and not from high-profile actors going through directed motions while reading someone else’s words on a purely politically motivated script. 

That's it for today folks.
