Maybe, PROBABLY a lot of states like Oklahoma that WE KNEW Trump would carry, some stayed home, knowing it wasn’t critical. So, yeah, if it were a popular vote, more people would have gotten out to vote.

If she had really campaigned more, more people would have realized that she offered less.

She really didn’t offer anything.

If it was a popular vote contest, Trump would have campaigned differently, and a lot of people who stayed home in reliable republican states, would have come out and voted.

Clinton, from what I’ve heard, was obsessed with the idea that Trump would win the popular vote, but lose the electoral vote, so she spent a lot of money to up her popular vote total in CA, IL, NY, and even ran a ton of ads here in MN. She essentially lost track of the fact that it was an Electoral College race, whereas, Trump never took his eye off the ball. Early on, he did campaign in CA, but soon realized that he didn’t stand much chance there.

Trump ran a brilliant campaign...

he hit the states he needed, multiple times, especially towards the last hrs...

he knew what he needed to win...Mich...Ohio...Pa..Wisconsin...and Florida....he spent his time there....

he didn't throw money into states he had no chance...

he won the majority of state electors by popular vote, period...

on one state can stuff the ballot box and think they can steal elections...so there California...

The election is based in 50 popular votes.

Doubtful, because an election based on the national popular vote would have the candidates campaigning in a completely different manner.

They would have primarily campaigned in NY, FL, TX, CA, IL and possibly a few other large-population states, and mainly in the larger-populated cities.

All of the meme about the hildabeast winning the popular vote can be squashed with one simple fact.

Since 2010 the dimorats have lost ground in every arena, they lost the presidency, the House, the Senate, state governorships, state representatives virtually all the way down to dog catcher. This is no coincidence.

The Popular “Legal” Vote or the Popular “Illegal” Vote?

I wonder if that idiot Vice President would become the President after Hillary is impeached. Funny the media never discussed Hillary going to prison. That is more realistic that her fantasy.

The left has a huge advantage if we eliminate the electoral college. Using only total popular vote to decide is much more likely to yield a fraudulent or stolen result. That gives the left a huge advantage because it’s how they play naturally. We’d lose almost all the time when you consider how supercharged they can heat election fraud when they want to.

The Electoral College is equally fair and is much less susceptible to fraud so it’s just the better procedure to use.

The fraud attempts we saw this time at the college were very alarming. The integrity of the college vote must be 100%.

In a single day Hillary lost a 50 game series with points allocated based on the size of the venue. Trump won 31 games to Hillary’s 19. The total score was Trump 306 to 232 blowout.

Trump was much better with turnout.

The elephant in the room is the millions of illegal votes nationwide. Guaranteed they broke 99 to 1 for Cankles. Would love to see an investigation.

Thank God for small favors.

I honestly doubt a dem has won a legit election for half a century now.

Voter fraud by the left is so out of control that there’s no reason in the world to credit any dem with an honest win.

Were voting limited to citizen and citizens ONLY, Trump would win in a walk.
