Libs go on about the popular vote but in an EC system the popular vote is a spurious concept. It almost delegitimizes the notion of the popular vote. Candidates win states, not individual votes. We don't have one big giant national election, we have 51 separate elections.

Fivethirtyeight.com, which runs algorythms based on polls, gambling odds, and historical results, had HRC ahead consistently through much of the year, as well. That is computer based. The head guy even decreased her odds of winning for a couple of human reasons...but she was still very much ahead in odds of winning....always.






Weeks prior to November 8, FOX, CBS, ABC, Reuters, Monmouth and other might have had an excuse for showing Hillary up by 4-6% since she was apparently leading in the early and highly fraudulent absentee voting. But to be still predicting a sizable Clinton win on November 7 is professional pollster malpractice.

I've voted Democrat many times in my life, including for Obama, but even I know that the Dems seem to work overtime getting the numbers, no matter how they do it.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if getting the popular vote was a result of a lot of votes from dead and illegal citizens.

Don't most come from CA? Which gives further the point that a popular vote would always be decide by the most populous states?

trump was up in the popular vote, until they stared counting california. only then did clinton take the lead there, but once again the national popular vote is just a number with no meaning what so ever.

California once was a republican strong hold, but that has been changing, and likely irreversibly.
