of course most liberals have never read the Constitution or follow it...If the game was popular vote and rules were known ahead of time no doubt Trump would have won by strategizing for the popular vote..liverals are not just mentally ill they are stupid and can’t think past one thing at a time.

The media has been claiming there are 10 million illegal aliens for approximately 30 years. The actual number is 30 to 40 million. More than 25% are thought to have registered to vote. There are most likely around 5 million illegal votes within the “popular vote”, so Trump is still way ahead.

""You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: 'HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!'" he wrote on Facebook. "

And we must hit back by saying "If you remove the FOREIGN vote in this country, TRUMP WINS THE POPULAR VOTE!"

According to the Fox News election results, we currently have H up about 268k in popular vote.

So that’s only about 0.22% more folks when you see about 120 million voted. Bush/Gore delta was about 500k.

Also keep in mind that the population is about 325 million so neither candidate had most of the country. The first O vote had about 130 million voting.

I.e., winning the “popular vote” doesn’t mean you won the majority of the population.

Also keep in mind that absentee and military has to be counted yet. Not all results are in. The gap may widen, shrink, or flip.

Said former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat and a Clinton supporter:
"If we really subscribe to the notion that 'majority rules,' then why do we deny the majority their chosen candidate?"

When you left Canada you went from a constitutional monarchy to a constitutional republic where the majority do not necessarily rule. That's the whole point of having a republic instead of a democracy.

Michigan should test their candidates for Governor to make sure they understand the way the system works in this country.

'HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!'

This is a lie, based on massive fraud in California:

"Over 500,000 Online Voter Registrations in Final 48 hours before California Deadline"

On election day, buses were observed crossing from Mexico and heading straight to polling booths.This was the culmination of years of making it more convenient for illegals to vote. In this election, the results were:

Hillary Clinton(Party: DEM) 5,528,043 61.5%
Donald J. Trump(Party: REP, AI) 2,990,062 33.2%
Jill Stein(Party: GRN) 153,787 1.7%
Gary Johnson(Party: LIB) 284,220 3.2%
Gloria Estela La Riva(Party: P&F) 38,517 0.4%

President - Statewide Results

If the California popular "vote" is ignored, Trump leads the real popular vote in the rest of the country by more than 2 million. If the fraud in other Democrat strongholds could be removed, Trump's margin would be even larger. Without the "Clinton won the popular vote" meme, some of the snowflakes might consider retreating to their safe spaces instead of rioting. Yes, the real American people really did pick Trump- in a landslide!.

It would be entertaining if they can flip enough electors to throw the election into the House.

...only to have the House elect Trump!

Hillary won the poplar vote

So what, that wasn't the goal ... 270 Electors was the goal. If the goal was the popular vote total the game would be played in an entirely diffdrent manner .. and Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and all the other small states wouldn't get a sniff of a campaign visit.

Oh, and if the popular vote total had been the goal Trump would have still kicked her butt.

The popular vote total is a strawman.

A Democrat lost so we have to change the rules.

Well, of course.

Why we have the EC

Without it, none our ‘red votes’ would count

Granholm is a Canadian by birth. She apparently didn’t “get it” when she was naturalized.

The Founders intentionally wanted to avoid a Tyranny of the Majority, so we explicitly have a Representative Republic instead of a Democracy.

I swear, these “smart people” are truly uninformed idiots on substance.

By this logic, the 2016 World Series ended in a tie! The Indians scored the same number of runs, 27, as the Cubbies. So the Cubs did not win and if you take into account the fact that they failed to score in games (states) 1 and 3, must mean that they have no mandate!

Take AWAY their WIN, it is the only FAIR thing to do!
