Percentages are one thing but in the final analysis it all comes down to ELECTORAL VOTES and we know who casts those. Cuidado!!!!
Allowing for the few hundred votes in FL in 2000, it’s pretty much impossible to win the popular vote and lose the election. I don’t think any Republican has done this-—have to go back to a couple of 1800s elections.
Especially when you consider the big 3 population states-—CA, IL, NY-—it makes it statistically impossible for a Republican to win the popular vote and lose the rest.
