From Real Clear Politics, Nov 9, 2012:
Romney received around 57.8 million votes in 2012. In 2008, John McCain received 59.9 million.
Romney got over 2 million fewer votes than McCain!
I can't believe that any of the TOP Republicans running, and I mean Trump, Cruz and Rubio getting LESS than Romney. Kasich, JEB and Carson, yes, but not the top three.
Do you really imagine that the REAL results of the 2012 election aren’t available everywhere from Wikipedia to the Federal Election Commission?
Romney got 60,933,504 votes, about a million more than McCain, and with a smaller turnout than McCain.
