How many times have we heard Hillary Clinton and her defenders repeatedly assert she should have won the 2016 presidential election because she won the popular vote over Donald Trump. This is why more of her followers should have been somewhat familiar with the rules of football because in that sport, the winner is determined by which team scores more points over the other; not which team piles up more yardage. If that were the case, the New England Patriots should have been declared the winner of Super Bowl LII because they won the total yardage in a record-breaking effort.
Despite the effort, we all know the Philadelphia Eagles were awarded the Lombardi trophy because they scored more total points that the Patriots and as total points was the initially accepted determining factor on who wins football games, the final score was accepted by both teams and their cities and the New England is not in full #resist mode contesting the outcome of a Super Bowl and trying to undo the results.

Maybe Belichick could have sued the Eagles on the basis that there were more Patriot fans than Eagles fans.
Kneelers never win.....
I’ve said, since I first heard this “popular vote” crap, that saying she won because she one the popular vote is like a football team saying they should have won the Superbowl, in spite of their lower score, because they got the most yards rushing.
No, the problem with the Democrats is they want(ed) to nullify the election and use a retroactively apply a different set of rules to determine the winner than were in place for the “game”.
The correct analogy would be if the Patriots now protested the results, refused to recognize the “Iggles” as champs, and tried to start a populist movement among their fans to overturn the real results, and then install themselves as SuperBowl champs.
If winning the popular vote was what it takes to win the election, Trump would have campaigned to win the popular vote.
And he probably would have won.
No, you can post your blog junk right here in full.
But according to numerous reports the Eagles got the majority of bets at the sports books (call those EV’s). LOL!
Exactly.
Yep ... remove all the illegal Mexicans who voted for HRC in CA and Trump wins the popular vote in a walk.
