The point is, weather you like it or not, more people voted against Trump's policies than for them. Now he's the president. We're not disputing that either. We'd just like him to recognize that he doesn't have much support and that he is supposed to represent ALL of us.
Democrats want to change it to the popular vote wins because they know they will win ALL the time then. LA and NY will elect the president alone.
And Republicans like the electoral college because it gives outsize weight to rural communities (with fewer people of course). But it's ok when it favors them.
And by the way, you can't win the electoral college with two states.
This seems to be the left's rallying cry. I wonder if they realize how frivolous it is.
Neither Trump nor Hillary got the majority of the national vote (45% v. 48%). Bill Clinton's share of the national vote in 1992 was even smaller, only 43%, and he won 370 electoral votes. More of the country voted against Bill Clinton than voted against Donald Trump.
Trump was ahead for most of that night and was ahead when Hillary conceded. Anything the left tries to do is always frivolous, and you can't take them seriously.
Can you dispute the FACT that more Americans voted for Hillary than for Trump?
Why does the right hate facts?
How do we factor out illegals and dead people?
If Hillary had a chance to disprove this, Hillary would have fought this and you know it!

President Obama didn't represent ALL of us, let alone represent America. If your American President Trump is with you. If you're here illegally go back and come in the correct way.
The facts are, more people wanted Hillary than Donald. I'm not sorry.
Actually, when you combine all of the votes, more people did not vote for Hillary, so no, the majority of those who voted did not want her.
