What if Trump or Clinton wins the elctoral vote, while losing the popular vote? (voters, illegal)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Matthew 22:36-40

Deleted original post... need to be nicer.

Although... seriously... Don't be holier than thou.

If you missed what I said before editing and want to keep pushing this angle, let me know and I will re-post.

Your silence will tell me I was right in what I said at first.

But the voters themselves DID NOT elect Donald Trump. That you all refuse to admit that is the height of delusion.

This, on the other hand, is the actual will of the American people:

Popular Vote as of 11/10/16
Hillary Clinton 60,839,922
Donald Trump 60,265,858

So yeah...

Pssst....you got to start buying your own "free" stuff.......tough I know for a state full of mooches but, you'll get used to it....

WRONG. 4 people were on the ballot.

ALL 4 ARE COUNTED towards the "popular" vote.

"Who claimed she won a majority of the popular vote?" Many on here.

I really haven't seen any posts that have said she won the majority of the popular vote. Do you have any links to back up that claim? Now if anyone did say that, they are wrong, however she did win the popular vote. The latest #'s have her up by 575,000 and it will likely grow.

Not really. Moocher states are almost exclusively red states that went for Trump.

Before we move on to the rest of your rant, realize that the bolded is a complete lie. But the haters cling to it in order to maintain their phony outrage.

"In an interview aimed at a millennial audience, President Obama encouraged Latino citizens to vote. He did not urge undocumented immigrants to vote."

We don't think of your popular vote total as legitimate--FULL STOP. If we want to talk about the vote as a sacred things, then there is no reason whatsoever to pretend that a citizen should not have to show an ID, which they are legally required to have.

Please, let's put this to bed and move on. Your candidate lost. I think it would take a constitutional amendment to end the electoral college. If there is an easier way, I would consider voting for it. But this cycle is over, and the Dems need to do a lot of soul searhing and understand that they have to stop crying racism and insulting white people if they want to be relevant in future elections. That is, and will always remain, the lesson of this election.

Understand this:

All four times in US history when the loser of the vote has been elevated to the White House, it was a Republican.

Your "big win" on Tuesday isn't big. It's very fragile as the popular vote has gone over half a million in favor of Clinton and will continue to rise as votes from Washington state keep coming in.

The GOP lost seats in the house.

The GOP lost seats in the senate.

If Trump and the Pub congress overreach, they will get their hands smacked. And most of them are well aware of it.

I think we're in for four very interesting and entertaining years.

Enjoy!

I didn't even know this was possible.
Has it ever been done before?

Illegals and their anchor babies would be determining who you're next President would be.

Don't buy this crap. CA is the biggest welfare state in this country along with having the most percentage of people in poverty......more than any other state.

Isn't it ironic that so many of the states that are blue states carrying the red states on their backs are states that forced most of the red states to remain part of the union and now you're having to carry them on your back....simply marvelous irony.
