> [@jsc1953](#): > > I got into a Facebook exchange with a Trump supporter, started because he was crowing over the fact that Trump won almost half the counties in California. > > I pointed out that that means exactly doodle squat; [he won he counties where nobody lives.](http://graphics.latimes.com/la-na-pol-2016-election-results-california/) … not to mention that the Constitution doesn’t mention “counties” anywhere. And this resulted in an outpouring of righteous fury. > > My conclusion: the popular vote results are under the skin of Trump and his supporters, and they’re desperately searching for metrics that will provide the validation they crave. Also, “won **almost** half” means that he lost a majority of the counties. Hardly something to crow about. ---

My comeback to the “counties” line is to say that means less than doodleysquat unless there was a Supreme Court “one acre, one vote” decision that I missed. ---

They are not WASPS and there would be no way to extract money from them. They do have mineral resources, but it would take a massive upgrade to their infrastructure to extract them.
