If popular vote was the rule of the game, wouldn't candidates spend a lot more time campaigning in CA, NY and IL? Sure Trump wouldn't win those states but he'd pick up more voters per $/hr compared to say NH or IA.

She and her supporters used that same line in 2008 after she was coldcocked by a political novice for the democrat nomination. Now, she and her supporters will use the same line after she blew another election. Pretty pathetic. It's kind of like a team that loses the World Series and says "But we actually scored more total runs than the other team".


Wonder who's going to be in the White House on Jan, 20th, 2017? Hint. It won't be someone wearing a Mao tunic.

He tried to tell you guys it was rigged but you wouldn't listen. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.

Since it doesn't really matter as trump already won, I just want to show that the liberals who are no on their high horse about Hillary winning the popular vote by 1% or even less, these facts should be taken in consideration.

When you supply supporting evidence of these alleged facts they will be taken into consideration, until then they appear little more than a desperate attempt to claim a mandate where none exists.

What??? I know you didn't just say that.
From CNBC so I do question their reporting, but according to them Hillary spent about double what Trump did.

Trump spent about half of what Clinton did on his way to the presidency

So the Clintons did try to by the election and a place in history with money. Too bad all that money spent wasn't and isn't able to buy the Clintons honor. Respect is earned never bought.

Trump basically won the Popular vote as well
Sorry, he didn't. Right now she leads the popular vote by 280,646. Projection is once all absentee ballots are counted, it will probably be 1,000,000.

Trump underperformed Romney.

Hillary also underperformed Obama. She lost Wisconsin by 27,257 votes. Milwaukee County - heavily Democratic and black had 40,000 fewer voters turn out than in 2012. That would have made the difference in WI. In Michigan she's short 11,837; PA 68,236.

So, but for 107,330 votes.

What we've learned from this election is whomever is:
  • biggest most outrageous liar - 85% of his statements are proven lies
  • biggest schoolyard bully
  • biggest, most adolescent name-caller
  • birtherest liar - let's drag it on and keep throwing out that sh*t
  • nastiest liar who drags politics deepest into the gutter
wins.

America has just elected the biggest, lying POS insulter in-chief - ever - as its leader.

Quite an indictment. Talk about aspirational - aspirations into the gutter, that is.

I just hope the Democrats don't try to run Hillary again in 2020. Assuming we're still around by then.
