As a Kentuckian, I know horse poop when I see it.

Pretty high quality trolling though.

If so, tell us, at which specific moment did you come to the Revelation?

If not, ponder this, 2600 counties to 500. 30 states to 20. Trump took Wisconsin. Trump earned more popular votes than any other Republican ever, as well as any other Democrat, except for 2.9 million less from Hillary, and less than Obama both times.

But the Electoral College is the law of our constitution. Five presidents have lost the Popular Vote but went on to sit in the White House. Setting aside the distinct possibility of huge vote fraud from the DNC, for who knows how long, Trump could have ran a campaign to get more votes from the top 10 populated counties and won the Popular vote too.

When you're in overtime in the NFL, you score a touchdown, the game is over. You don't have to kick the field goal.

You lost. Do you u.n.d.e.r.s.t.a.n.d?

Im not sure why you believe that logic, Neither Trump or Clinton ran a popular vote strategy.

Just like Trump, Clinton would have ran the same strategy and she would have still won the popular vote.

And the lie is repeated once again.

Hillary Clinton didn't beat Barack Obama in 2008 in the popular vote.

Conservatives always add in the Michigan Democratic Primary votes, even though the Democratic Party disqualified the Michigan Democratic primary election because Michigan moved its vote to a much earlier part of the calendar, violating party rules. Barack Obama wasn't even on the 2008 Michigan primary ballot and the 328,000 votes cast didn't count in the Democratic nominating process. Without those invalid Michigan votes, Barack Obama beats Hillary Clinton in the popular vote - barely.

I find this post to be severely lacking in knowledge.

The answer as to why we have an Electoral College that assigns Electoral Votes on the sum of Senators and Representatives for each state is found in the notes of the Constitutional Convention - and it isn't because 'the founding fathers knew the rural vote was more founded in rational reason'. 1789 America was almost entirely rural, only about 4% of the population lived in towns larger than ten thousand people.

Why can't leftists accept the truth on this matter? Firstly, Obama was on the Michigan ballot before HE decided to take himself off the ballot. Second, while the DNC did disqualified the Michigan (and I think Florida) votes initially, they ultimately ended up counting them as a show of unity, which means that Hillary beat Obama in the popular vote.

Because that information does tell you something about Trump's actual popularity. Surely if you can write, you can understand why people would bring that up. It's not a terribly complicated point.
