Fun fact: Trump won by 74.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slate...e_spreads.htmlHillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has now topped 2.5 million, the New York Times reported on Thursday. That 1.9 percent margin over President-elect Donald Trump is larger than that of nine previous presidents.

Meanwhile Trump continues to lie about "illegal" votes.
Fun fact: Trump won by 74.
Trash's lead in PA now down to 0.2%.
Jill Stein was this election's Ralph Nader.

Trump=POTUS
I know you libs are trying to tell yourselves whatever will help you sleep at night after a crushing defeat, but whining about who won the popular vote is pointless and stupid. Both candidates campaigned to win the electoral vote, and Trump won. Plain and simple. If Trump had campaigned to win the popular vote, who's to say that he wouldn't have won that too? But it would've been a completely different campaign strategy than the one he used. It's great news and all that your candidate won the popular. The bad news is that the other candidate didn't even try to win the popular vote. So you're gloating about the final score of a game that never happened.
Seconded.
sucks to be Hillary, finally.
He got smashed in California, if the rules had been different maybe that margin would have been even bigger considering Clinton would have actively campaigned to maximize the number of votes in such a populated state. I think he would have lost the popular vote either way.
The fact is, we'll never know for sure how the popular vote would have looked this year if it determined elections. You might be right, but it's still your opinion and not a fact.
However, we do know for a fact that Trump won by 74 electoral votes.
That's why the "popular vote" argument is re ed.
I'm no fan of HItllary, but maybe we should change the motto from 'every vote counts' to every 'vote counts assuming you live in the right part of the country"
The NFL: where every yard matters as long as you score more points than the other team.
Unbelievable winning by -2%. And now you have Paul Ryan talking about how the GOP has a mandate to scrap Medicare and the ACA because of it.
The trouble is that the President is supposed to represent all Americans through a plurality, and the current system only benefits one side and leads to campaigns focusing on only swing states in national elections.....unequal representation...
A recent study came to the conclusion that Americans want to keep the ACA by a 4-1 margin, and replacing Medicare with vouchers
That study is full of or Clinton would have won in a landslide.
Not necessarily....I guess that has more to do on why you think Clinton lost...I think she lost because, unlike Trump, Hillary quit campaigning, and all the promises that go with it, and just started fundraising....
She campaigned the last night of the election in Philly and still lost the state.
Which is why we don't let California and New York hand-select our president.
Instead Ohio and Florida get to.
She didn't campaign....she made an appearance...or did she meet with the unions?
Moreso, if your living in a predominantly blue state, or a predominantly red state, what's your motivation to even vote?
In other news, the popular vote doesn't matter.
Nobody gives a about the popular vote, enjoy your hollow moral victory
it's set up this way so that California doesn't run the country. We'd secede if that were ever the case
How about this....Clinton won, by a large majority, the counties whom GOPers would classify as 'makers', while Trump won counties that are 'takers'...
Says a lot about the current state of our country huh?
Swing states get to - which range from highly populated states like Ohio and Florida to tiny states like Nevada and New Hampshire.
