Donald Trump Won 2600 Counties Compared to Clinton's 500

Donald Trump is the most popular Republican candidate in history bringing in over 62.4 million votes during the 2016 presidential election. He also secured victories in at least 83 percent of the counties in the United States. Trump is also ranked the third most popular presidential candidate in history. However, there is one huge difference in Trump’s popular vote win and that of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Trump is the only popular vote candidate in the top three to receive success in more than 25 percent of the county-level vote, a victory that has all but been overlooked in the media due to the popular vote margin and recount initiatives.

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton received their substantial popular vote tally while receiving an all-time low percentage of U.S. counties. Barack Obama set the record for the lowest number of counties won for a successful presidential candidate.

“President Obama established an all-time low percentage of U.S. counties for a successful presidential candidate: just 689 of more than 3,000, or a paltry 22%.”

It’s kind of irrelevant to my point. Trump won an overwhelming number of counties in the vast majority of states despite the overwhelming number of advantages that Clinton enjoyed. There’s no way that this is due to Russian hacking. And the fact remains, wikileaks only revealed the widespread and organized wrongdoing perpetrated by the left. Americans used that info to make a wise decision. Key point: America made the decision based on accurate information.

Not a false image; a true image of who and what America really is. Cities tend to be cesspools of liberal/progressive thinking and the school systems in those cities are compromised by the lib-prog Commie Core teaching program whereas the rural areas generally have far fewer of those ramming liberal-think down the throats of the students.

Democracy equals mob rule. Fortunately we live in a Democratic Republic which prevents mob rule. Democracy has been described as two wolves and sheep discussing what’s for dinner. A Republic is the same thing with a well armed sheep to even the odds.

The soul and heart of America tend to live in the red areas of that County map. The soulless heathens tend to live in the blue areas. There are exceptions obviously but in general; that’s pretty much how it is.

BTW; are you a liberal? You sound like one.

It’s not a fake map. It is a county by county map of each win. Trump something over 2600
and Hillary a few under 500 counties each. Clinton won the overall nationwide popular vote
with something over 2.6 million.

snip
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has garnered at least 65,527,625 votes in the 2016
presidential election, over 2.6 million more than the president-elect, who has received
at least 62,851,436 votes, according to figures released Wednesday by The Cook Report,

I get that... but if you look at just the map, it looks like Trump won all the votes... but he didnt...
all I am saying is its not a totally accurate picture without knowing how many people are in those counties... the map makes them look all the same, when clearly they are not.

Another tidbit

Hillary won the popular vote nationwide by some 2.6 million votes.
Approximately 50% or 1.25 million of those votes came from one county.

Los Angeles County

Hillary ..1,893,770
Trump ..... 620,285

your map shows hardly any blue at all.

If she won the county, it was blue. She only won a handful of counties however. There's nothing misleading about that in a winner take all contest.

how did hellery get MORE votes?

In a word: California.

California's 55 electoral votes were therefore added to Hillary Clinton's total electoral votes but that wasn't enough to overcome the combined votes of 2,600 counties across and throughout the United States.

And back to my original point, Hillary didn't lose those 2,600 counties because of Russia-she lost those counties because she's a lying, cheating, manipulating, deceitful c**t.

We need the EC to be one-county-one-vote.
