If he had lost Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, he would have had 260 electoral votes, out of 270 needed. So, you are correct: without them, it would not have mattered, for Ms. Clinton would have won.
Think, a difference of less than 80,000 votes spread over these three states. But, that is how it works.
Yes, Mr. Trump got millions of votes; but Ms. Clinton got 2.8 million more.
Mr. Trump won fair and square, but to cite the Gateway Pundit as having accurately forecasted the vote is silly.
I am not re-arguing the 'vote' or the results per se, but only your claim about the wisdom of the Gateway Pundit (which you seem to link to a lot).
