Final tally shows Trump lost popular vote by 2.8 million – but he BEAT Clinton by 3 million votes outside of California and New York Clinton won California by 4.2 million votes and New York by 1.6 million, running up the score in places where she would have won no matter what Outside of those two liberal states, Trump was 3 million votes ahead California alone accounted for more than Clinton's national popular-vote edge Newt Gingrich mocked: 'This is football season. A team can have more yards and lose the game. What matters is how many points you put on the board'

Final vote tallies from the November 8 election show that Democrat Hillary Clinton out-polled President-elect Donald Trump by 2.8 million votes while losing the contest by a wide margin in the all-important Electoral College.

Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary.

Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide.

When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes.

THANK GOD the Electoral College is nearly impossible to get rid of!!

It was a very easy victory for Trump in the end. his masterful strategy broke the backs of those who opposed his rightful position as leader

Without the Electoral College we would just let California elect the President

Trump could have had more rallies in California, but his supporters got beat-downs there.

Trump has said if they used the popular vote he would have campaigned in CA and NY and still won.

Since he would not need to win those states, but just peel away 3M more votes, that is plausible.

When the fraud settles - which it probably won’t because nobody seems interested in tackling that major issue - then it will be learned that she lost by about 10 million nationwide.

California is a crap pot of illegals that vote. As far as NY, who knows why they are so ignorant. It’s the city in NY but California, just look at Los Angeles. Damn near a total Mexican country by itself.

I don’t want to be ruled by New York and California.

If they change the electoral system, the flyover states should first get a chance to form their own nation without those two.

CA is a perfect example of if you can control the media, you can control the message.
Back in 2010, I asked some of my friends if they were following the “Tea Party” movement.

They all said: “What the heck is that?”
Because the MSM in CA refused to cover it.

So if you ignore the corrupt California vote, Trump won the popular vote in the other 49 states by 1.4 million.

Congress should investigate the vote fraud. In the case of California, there is strong evidence of a foreign power (Mexico) meddling in the election. The Hispanic "American" politicians in California have made it easy for illegals to register:

"Over 500,000 Online Voter Registrations in Final 48 hours before California Deadline"

The final 48 hours is of course only the tip of the iceberg. All of the online registrations are suspect.

Both the Mexican government and the drug cartels (assuming that they are actually separate entities) had a vested interest in seeing Trump defeated.

Mexico collected $24.8 billion in remittances from the US in 2015 (this exceeded their oil revenue). The cartels are collecting untold billions from American addicts. Did the Democrats collude with the Mexican government or with the cartels to influence the elections? Does anyone doubt that the Mexican government wanted Trump to lose?

How fitting, Trump would have won the popular vote if not for the sanctuary states of NY and Cal.

Looks like he was spot on with his statement he would have won the popular if not for illegals.

In the liberal la la land of Minnesota, Hillary narrowly won carried only by votes from Hennepin and Ramsey counties (Minneapolis and St Paul).

This is a real dumb measurement. How much more did she spend to get that many more votes? If she were smart she would have targeted her money better and spent lest and got more needed votes like Trump did. What a disaster she would have been with taxpayer dollars. She wasn’t event smart enough not to spent money to get CA votes. BWAHAHAHAHA
