Yet a few of them don't act like it as they are unable to accept the

One tally shows him winning by 3 milliion votes. Outta 120 million.


Closer to 4 million.


And he has the disctinction of having the highest percentage of votes
cast against a sitting President in history. Not to mention a war pres.


Making false statements won't justify your inability to accept the
outcome. Unlike his predecessor who had over 50% of the voters vote
against him in both of his victories, at least Bush had less than 50% vote
against him in his re-election.


And on, and on.


What? More inaccuries?


Seems like you mandate folks outta go look up the definition of said
word.


mandate: A command or an authorization given by a political electorate to
its representative.

Yup, that's what any elected president gets.

Since the previous president claimed a mandate with less than 50% of
the vote, wouldn't you think that more than 50% of the vote is even more
of a mandate?
