Without the Electoral College, neither George W. Bush or Donald Trump would have won their first term.

After the way they've acted for the last year, the only thing Trump owes them is the broad side of his Oxfords.
That’s the whole ballgame. Borders, Langauge, and Culture, in that order.
Trump won the popular vote in more states than the Hildabeast. Give no quarter.
What is the final Electoral vote count for DJT?
I have looked and can not find it completed.
The want to use their huge vote margins in CA, NY, and IL to win the Presidency forever.
Trump won the popular vote in more states than the Hildabeast. Give no quarter.
You have only to look at the election map to see that President-elect Trump won the vast majority of the country. And in some states where it was close, he had sometimes 90% of the state except for the big metropolis. He may not have been the perfect candidate but as far as I know, he is not an evil man. And his stamina has been remarkable! The talking heads did not want to admit his victory! The ‘polls’ were wrong and all the media bias did not fool America this time. Americans do not want gun control, loss of religious and other freedoms. Americans do not want the unaffordable health care act or that commoncore that dumbs down our children. Americans do not want grown men entering the restroom with our wives, sister, and daughters. Americans want America to be great again and to stop funding terrorists and allowing terrorist infiltration.
Electoral not complete yet, according to the AP and NYT.

“Thank God the founders had the wisdom to dream up the electoral college.”
Just because you said it first doesn’t mean I can’t say it too.
this
she probably owes at least half of that lead to fraud in Broward County FL where there were more votes than residents
and then there’s the 400,000+ votes in Philadelphia....
etc etc etc
Right. Hillary today kept calling the US a Democracy....I was yelling at the screen - a Republic!
The electoral college prevented a tyranny of the majority, exactly as it was intended to do.
The electoral vote was a sign of our founding father’s brilliance. Look at the geography that Trump won.
I like the implication that Trump will win a second term.
“Without the Electoral College, neither George W. Bush or Donald Trump would have won their first term.”
And neither would have John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B Hayes and Benjamin Harrison.
It happens sometimes.
Take CA out of the equasion, Trump wins the popular vote by 2,000,000
FWIW, Florida requires ID to vote.
Exit poll questions are interesting.
My take is, the biggest issues were:
- IMMIGRATION
- POOR ECONOMY
- SUPREME COURT
- OBAMACARE
These issues were quite stark in their separation between the candidates,
Pure speculation. You have no idea how their campaigns would have been structured in order to win the popular vote. If they were focused on winning the popular vote, they very well may have won, anyway.
Trump lost Va by 60,000 votes- the number of ex-cons the Va Governor gave the right to vote. Ironic?
Plus most of Hillary’s votes came from NY and Ca.Given non-factor states.
For example, how many people here in Texas who supported Trump didn’t even bother to vote, because he knew he had the State wrapped up?
In a popular vote, they certainly would have voted for Trump. It cuts both ways. How many people in California who would have supported Trump stayed home, because they figured it wouldn’t matter?
