View Poll Results: Does Clinton's Popular Vote Victory Reduce Trump's Mandate?
YES. Trump's vote count is too low to be a mandate for sweeping change. 70 27.89%
NO. Trump won, and that's reason enough for a mandate for sweeping change. 125 49.80%
DOESN'T MATTER. The mandate concept is too vague to mean anything. 56 22.31%
Voters: 251. You may not vote on this poll

By the way, Hillary National popular vote edge comes from California where she beat Trump by over 4 million votes.....she is not popular in the majority of the nation, she lost 30 states.


Get over it!
Ok, what do you think Trump meant about wanting to make America great again. The KKK and alt left sure think it's about making America white again so don't blame me. I'm not the one doing the Hitler salute. He wanted to get the scum out of DC too. But here he is appointing billionaires, CEO's and bankers. Do you really think that any of them care about the middle class and working poor. They don't even know what that is. Trump said he would keep jobs here in the US but he sends his jobs overseas. Sorry, doesn't make sense to me.

It's obvious Trump has a huge mandate . He's already being presidential & Obama is less than relevant .

Trump won't challenge California's vote count, i wouldn't so proudly proclaim that Hillary had more legal votes from actual living people without any machine 'malfunctions'.

It also doesn't matter because Trump not only didn't campaign to win the popular vote, but plenty of Trump supporters stayed home in Calif and NY because they knew he had no shot in those states, nobody stays home if popular vote is what wins.

How about you prove both of those allegations?

Popular vote count Nov. 16 0800 PST

Clinton.... 62,414,099... 47.8%
Trump...... 61,255,290... 46.9%


Clinton lead = 1,158,809 (source: Cook Political Report)
There is no mandate when you lose the popular vote by millions!

By your logic Hillary would bring in an America that riots since the BLM rioters support her.
