Doesn’t matter. Only the votes of the Electoral College matter

True, but if a presidential candidate wins the national popular vote by 7 points, he will also win the Electoral College handily. It is unrealistic to expect otherwise. In 2000 Al Gore won popular vote by less than half a percentage point and lost the electoral college 271-266 but that is a very rare event. A seven point popular vote margin, should it hold up to Election Day, will yield an landslide electoral victory and you can take that to the bank.

Yep. It’s kind of sad that we have to explain this to Freepers.
