——their world view is held by so few ——

It must be kept firmly in mind that Hillary won the popular vote. The Senate is very nearly 50/50......evenly split. The margin for winning is very thin.

CNN knows that all of it’s viewers are within the lot that voted for Hillary. Their sales are dependent on viewers that are actually in the gross electoral majority.

Measured in acres or square miles, the blue zone is much smaller than the massive red zone. But, measured in people, the blue zone exceeds the red.

“It must be kept firmly in mind that Hillary won the popular vote.”

But not really. Look at all the Hillary votes they’ve PROVEN to be the result of cheating. Imagine how many more are illegitimate. No way in hell did she win the popular vote.

Yes, but the blue zone is contained by the Electoral College. The excess votes are wasted votes.

That's why I predict that we will see a revitalized push for the National Popular Vote interstate compact. This would let the excess votes in California and New York count in, say, Iowa, Rhode Island and Delaware.

Just a few weeks ago, even Matt Vespa at supposedly conservative Townhall.com was toying with the idea.

CA alone pulled Hillary into the Popular Vote majority.

She may have won it, but her Margin of victory would be much smaller if not for the rampant Illegal Invader Vote here.

I believe I read that a recent study showed the percentage of Votes cast exceeded the number of eligible Voters by 18%.

I don’t think Hillary won the popular vote. But that is a trivial metric. Only EV matters.

CNN doesn’t need advertisers.
