“THIS IS A COUP!” – Mark Levin responds to Mueller grand jury leaks and FBI leaks

All the extra votes were from California and NY. Trump won the vast majority of states.

Both true statements. And he definitely won the electoral college by a very good margin. But it is also true that Calif. and NY have been huge democrat states for many years now. So it should not surprise they provided a lot of the popular vote just as they have in several elections now. They both have voter fraud processes in place and there were NOT those huge numbers of illegals Trump has made up to support that ego. "Fake news" "Sad"
Here's a little tidbit for you. When I lived in Wyoming we were vastly over-represented in the US Senate by having two Senators for about half a million total population while Calif. Texas Fla and NY had the same number of Senators for about 40 to 60 times that population each. Funny how this democracy works isn't it? Still beats hell out of second best though.

Good thing states matter, and not people

There is a very sad chapter in Democracy playing out in my second home country of Venezuela where I lived from 1959-65. In 1958 Romulo Betancourt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B3mulo_Betancourt was elected president there for a 5 year term and was the first elected president in their history to make it through that full term and pass it on to another elected president in 1963. Since their constitution only allows 1 five year term that must be interrupted by a change in presidency before eligibility returns, that mantle has successfully passed on from president to president. If you take the time to read the provided link you will see what a great man he was indeed. Then along came the great narcissist Hugo Chavez on the wave of a culture of personality (ring any bells). Chavez successfully dismantled their constitution and ruled the country through intimidation and newly taken dictatorial powers for some 14 years before he died of cancer. This is how he did it. http://theconversation.com/how-todays-crisis-in-venezuela-was-created-by-hugo-chavezs-revolutionary-plan-61474
So when you complain that Trump's powers are curtailed by others, just be glad that is so. And read James Madison's Federalist Papers if you want to understand why our constitution is designed to curtail the powers of any one man. Thank God for the founding fathers and their experiences with a domineering king. We never want to be in that position again. The real irony here is that the Republican congress has realized the danger and is increasingly asserting constitution powers designed by these great men to keep balance of power within all three branches of government, not just one. It protects us all from something like Germany occurring here. I never truly understood how such an advanced civilization like Germany allowed that to happen until Trump came along with promises to change the lives of increasingly dissatisfied people. That's exactly what happened when Hitler came along with similar messages and a people upon whom hate became focused as the cause of all their problems, the jews.
And boy did he love rallies.

But it started with a man who stole their democracy and then linked himself with Castro's Cuba and disguised it under the name of the Bolivarian Revolution. It started as a populist movement and he warped it into a socialist dictatorship.

One thing we agree on is the wisdom of the founders of this nation who did put in a system of checks and balances to keep power from being concentrated.
I like Trump (now). During the primaries though I didn't like him and had some of the same concerns you have. He is a populist and an authoritarian but he is constrained by the constitution. Most of his policies I see as common sense and good for the country.

Want to be a little more scared? Vicente Fox is comparing Donald Trump's media attacks to what Chavez and his hand picked successor Maduro did in Venezuela, first attack and then take over and control the press completely until you get just what Donald started on his facebook page yesterday, Trump TV. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/trump-tv-donald-trump-quietly-10943897.
When I lived in Venezuela there was no international TV or internet, but we did have shortwave radio. The ones with the strongest signals 24 hours a day were these two.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Moscow
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Havana_Cuba
This is what dictators do to control the message. Exactly the same process was used in Germany and Italy prior to WW II. Neither country took those clowns seriously until it was too late to stop them.

And since Mexico makes the bulk of its income from a combination of selling weed to the United States and illegals sending back money why would I be surprised that the ex-president doesn't like Donald Trump?

You missed my point Steve. This is how all successful dictators start out, control the message so the people believe only what they say and nothing to the contrary. The same has already happened here in case you missed it. Trump has convinced a sizeable number of people who can now no longer independently think through the lies. Several very smart people I have known for years have been captured by the charisma and will hear nothing at all critical. Every response I get always starts out, "But Hillary................". Fine and dandy but she is now irrelevant.
