Making the rounds:
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) dont and shouldnt speak for the rest of our country.

A little analysis on the claim that Democrats got more Senate votes.
According to
Wikipedia, Republican Senate candidates got 39.3 million votes and Democrats got 45.2 million. However this margin is entirely due to California where the only choices were two Democrats who got a combined
11.9 million votes.
If California had a Republican and Democratic option, and voters voted for those options in the same way as they voted for president, the Democrat would have gotten 8.5 million votes, and the Republican would have gotten 4.3 million. This would mean an overall Senate popular vote of:
All Republicans Senate candidates: 43.6 million
All Democrat Senate candidates: 41.7 million
Warren's claim of a mandate for Democrats also don't hold up when you look at the
popular vote for the House, which Republicans won 49.9% to 47.3%.

Definitely have one party rule here in California. Democrats get 102% of the vote (counting illegal votes too).

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) dont and shouldnt speak for the rest of our country. The founders understood that, even when these United States were fewer in number and smaller in area. That's why we have an Electoral College. It's also why we have a Senate ... and why Senators were to be appointed by the State legislatures.

Wasn’t it Obama who said he has a mandate from all the people that didn’t vote?

I was thinking “sanctimonious old bat,” but “hysterical twat” works nicely too.

I hope she gets the nomination in 2020. Trump will wipe the floor with her.
Aside from being a radical leftist, she is certifiably insane. I watched her at length with Anderson Cooper last night. It’s the first time I paid attention to her rhetoric and mannerisms.
She will wear on the public. She’s nuts.
