Donald Trump Won 2600 Counties Compared to Clinton's 500
inquisitr ^ | 11/27/16 | Tara West

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%.”

As of 2013 , there were 3,007 counties, 64 parishes, 19 organized boroughs, 11 census areas, 41 independent cities, and the District of Columbia for a total of 3,143 counties and county-equivalents in the United States.

Donald Trump won 2,600 of those counties which enabled him to secure 306 electoral votes. That's why he won. Vladmir Putin didn't have anything to do with that. Vladmir Putin did not hack the voting machines of 2,600 US counties.

What the left is doing is organizing a coup. This is high treason. It is the kind of thing we expect from third world countries. What's worse, they are dragging us into a civil war and/or a conflict with Russia because they lost a free and fair election.

They had every advantage. they had a lap dog media carrying water for their candidate. They had an endless supply of foreign money from the likes of George Soros pouring into their candidate's coffers. They had a sitting president stumping for their candidate. They had their much revered "Blue Wall" electoral advantage (or so they thought). they had world leaders organizing against Donald Trump. A former Canadian PM publically labeled Donald Trump a "sexual predator" 3 weeks before the election for example.

They had every possible advantage so I really don't want to hear about how unfair this election was. Because it was unfair-for Donald Trump.

This is why you lost Democrats. Vladimir Putin did not do this. Democrats did this. they have been working on it for at least 8 years. These are the deplorable bible and gun clingers that you have spent the past 8 years oppressing.

Those days are over now btw.

Thus, the can’t-i-date that wins the most congressional districts would be the one installed. That would sure make the demonrats pay more attention to us deplorables in fly over country wouldn’t it.

Hillary may very well have started a war with Russia as president since Obama set the stage for such an event. Blaming Russia might start a war, but it might get Obama’s AF1 shot down too.

Snopes says that was fake. 2,600 seems to be closer to the truth.

Nothing false about it. He won more counties in more states(overwhelmingly) which enabled him to win more electoral votes. If all 38.5 million Californians voted for Hillary Clinton, it would have still only equated to 55 electoral votes.

it presents a false image... hellery won the popular vote... I know that doesnt matter... but if you look at the map you have thats complete false... a lot of those counties have very few people in them...
for example... the CITY of Atl has more people than the entire STATE of Wyoming, my home state.. all 23 counties...

How many counties did He win then? it's really beside the point. It's pretty hard to believe that Russia was able to affect the outcome of all those thousands of voter precincts.

I think when you have CNN leaking debate questions to Hillary Clinton, that's a concerted effort to undermine our electoral process. that's cheating. that's unAmerican and, as such, Americans had every right to know about it. I don't know who leaked the email that got her busted and I don't care. They should get a meddle afaic.

I did not say how many he won. My point is I am sceptical of anything Snopes says so I figure they would not give him full credit! That has nothing to do with Russia either you flew off the handle here. I don’t think Russia did anything and regardless of who revealed the truth about the liberals I applaud them!

Snopes is a left wing couple with only a passing acquaintance with the truth.
