"A candidate must win majority of the popular vote to win the states electoral college electors (save Maine I think as they are tying to split theirs by Congressional dist.) DJT has not won 50% of the GOP vote in any state as of yet. So it is most unlikely that he would be able to win many all on his lonesome."

That would be incorrect. In 1992, Bill Clinton won the majority in Arkansas and DC. That's it. George H.W. Bush in none. Clinton garnered 370 electoral votes to Bush's 168.

"Facts are stubborn things."

Indeed.

“A candidate must win majority of the popular vote to win the states electoral college elector”

in what way does that imply the national vote. On a technical note I probably should have said plurality my apologies if that was confusing.
