"...If there were only a popular vote, I would only campaign in the 5 largest cities. I could promise them the moon and deliver, because it's only 5 cities.
I could completely forget the rest of the country. That's why we have an Electoral College."
"...Notice that Hillary pretty much won the border and the most super crowded cities (crowded cities = accumulation of evil)."
"...So basically Hillary won all the high crime areas, makes sense."
"...Looking at the first map, I was daydreaming about the sea levels rising just that much."
For all the talk of the "popular vote" win, the OP is exactly right. The majority of Americans DID reject HRC. Granted, the same can be said about Donald Trump, but he's not the one calling for the abolition of the EC college here.
I live in one of those Blue dots. I still voted for Trump. A majority of people in battleground state of NC voted for Trump even though Hillary spent 10s of millions here and much time over 2 months in vain attempt to win the state.
That's why Trump got our electoral votes as it should have been.
Clinton won more popular votes the Trump, thats a fact. By over a million.
And still MOST people didn't vote for Clinton. She maybe has more votes than Trump as long as you don't count all of the absentee ballots, but even so of the ballots counted most voted against her, exactly as the thread title says New York Times: "majority of America rejected Hillary Clinton"
Just like most of America didn't want her husband, but unfortunately he happened to win the electoral votes - she didn't.
I'm not surprised the left wants to "abolish" the electoral college system, just look at this SEA of red
The Majority of American rejected (HRC) and (the Donald) they were the Least Two Popular Candidates for POTUS in it's Long History as the United States of America.
