This Republic that we live in does not elect a president through popular vote. You can complain until you are blue in the face. It never has elected a president that way and most likely it never will. Too bad. That's the way it is. Get over it.
Our Constitution gives the power of deciding who will be President to the individual states. There's a very good reason for it and the Founding Fathers knew exactly what they were doing. If you don't understand this by now, go back to school and take a civics class.
But each state can decide how its electors will cast their votes. And there is a move afoot to do exactly that, in such a way that the popular vote and the electoral vote match. And it won't require every state to join either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...rstate_Compact
We will never know who would have won without the FBI interference. Some States like Florida were so close, that it is more than likely she would have won.
LOL.
Either....
Hillary is innocent of wrong doing hence what the FBI did was irrelevant.
or
Hillary committed criminal acts and the FBI was doing its job.

Your choice. You can't have it both ways.
I am not having it both ways. The FBI should have done their job without running to the media first. Had they done that, they would have reached the same conclusion, without interfering with the elections. That is how it has always worked.
Their announcement 11 days before the elections is far from irrelevant.
Exactly ... take away the Califlakes and Trump wins the popular vote. Must be something in the ocean air out there ...
So you saying. "As long as you don't count all the voter, he won the popular vote'? Yeah, that makes sense.
It's strange, Republicans have won the popular vote just once in that past 24 years. Even their stranglehold on the house is due to gerrymandering. But the claim to be the will of the silent majority
Uhh it's only like a 200k difference at this point..no way that's turning into a million.
You don't know what the popular vote result truly would have been because under the current system Republicans in states like California stay home. To know the true results you would have to do totally redo the election and tell everyone that it's going to be by popular vote instead of the electoral college.
I didn't vote in my state because I knew Trump would win. If it was a popular vote system I would have went out and voted.
See the difference?
Also voter fraud mostly by the dems - nobody realizes that's why Hillary didn't ask for a recount in many of the closer vote states because it would have uncovered the fraud by dems.

If the FBI had done their jobs in the first place-Hillary would have been in prison instead of running a campaign of hatred and divisiveness, with her only qualification to the WH being the first vagina there.

And no one would be saying anything if Trump won the popular vote and Clinton the electoral college ...
