Can you dispute the FACT that more Americans voted for Hillary than for Trump?
Why does the right hate facts?
Here is another FACT: Trump got over 300 Electoral votes. Hillary got fewer than 270. Therefore, according the Constitution, Article II, as amended by the 12th Amendment, trump won.
That is a FACT!
This seems to be the left's rallying cry. I wonder if they realize how frivolous it is.
Neither Trump nor Hillary got the majority of the national vote (45% v. 48%). Bill Clinton's share of the national vote in 1992 was even smaller, only 43%, and he won 370 electoral votes. More of the country voted against Bill Clinton than voted against Donald Trump.
I don't get it either. I learned about the Electoral College in 8th grade Civics and understood it pretty well. There is a reason people in places like Utah and the Dakota's get visits by Presidential Candidates. There are votes to be had in those places that mean something. As it SHOULD be in a REPUBLIC of states.
Just because they are packing like minded lemmings into California does not mean the Constitution should be changed. It's exactly why the genius of the Founding Fathers continues to shine through.
Politicians have to be leaders for all 50 States, not just 4 or 5.

The facts are, more people wanted Hillary than Donald. I'm not sorry.
And it means absolutely nothing except for whiny crybabies who have no clue of how this country has always worked.
I mean if you want to start counting the popular vote then maybe you'll agree to a basic civics test for anyone who wants to cast a vote. We could turn California into a small state pretty quickly since the vast majority are true blue morons.
