Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton may have won the popular vote in the 2016 election -- and by an incredibly slim margin -- but her electoral vote is one of the lowest in recent history. Having won over 60 million votes (50.12 percent of the popular vote), Clinton gained only 228 electoral votes -- the lowest for any Democrat since Michael Dukakis ran in 1988.
"This is the worst Democratic performance in the electoral college since Dukakis 88," Chuck Todd, a news anchor for NBC, tweeted on Nov. 9.

I am right now in bed with the flu but that made me feel better.
All (save 1) of the “faithless” electors are Democrats. There are 50 of these so called Hamiltonians. If a bunch of them decide NOT to vote for Hillary, she could end up with under 200 electoral votes.
Winning is the BEST!!
i’m with you. I remember that is what the colors were when I was a little kid.
I don’t remember when or who reversed them.
Must have been MSM.
LA times darn sure not allowing comments after that map fiasco.
See!!! I oughta be a Doctor... but I just don’t have the patients...
That’ll be 75 bucks, please...
Ba da bum.
Try the Veal! Here till Tuesday!!!
Hahah!
Interesting that the L.A. Times picked Mrs. Bill Clinton while their own polls consistently had Trump leading by about 4 points.
Right now the thought of veal is barf inducing - doc.
I think in a few months we will find out how many dead people voted for Hillary in Detroit.
“She gets to live with knowing that for the rest of her miserable life.”
Another thing she has to live with for the rest of her life: She stuck with perv Bill when screwing around on her for decades in return for him getting the Presidency for her. But she didn’t GET the presidency! She wasted all those years with the perv with her eye on the prize. Ha!!!
Sometimes, a good projectile hurl is JUST the thing to cure what ails ya.
:^)
“...But she didn’t GET the presidency! She wasted all those years with the perv with her eye on the prize...”
Yeah... there’s THAT, ain’t there....
Chuckle, chuckle.
Schadenfreude, I know... but hey, I ain’t perfect; just REALLY happy!!!
When you think abuot it, this Election may just have been the Revenge of Flyover State America.

It’s AMERICAN, and it’s US - n matter where you live.
And we WON.
Her offense gained the more passing and rushing yardage in the game. But her offense wasted its chances: she couldn’t score when her team got to the red zone. Trump could and that’s why he put up a heckuva lot more points on the board.
In other words, HE WON!
And yet, they voted for her just as the sneaky and devious DNC hoped they'd all do.
Point was they knew they were putting up the biggest loser they possibly could.
