[FreeReign]

1. the greater number.

That's not the definition. It looks like you left off the "a number more than half of the total" clause in the definition from theFreeDictionary.com.

ma·jor·i·ty (mə-jôr′ĭ-tē, -jŏr′-)
n. pl. ma·jor·i·ties
1. The greater number or part; a number more than half of the total.
2. The amount by which the greater number of votes cast, as in an election, exceeds the total number of remaining votes.

"in the majority of cases all will go smoothly"

If 49% of the cases go smoothy, that's NOT an example of a "majority" of cases.

No, again just obtuse:

I would call you obtuse, but that would be unfair to people who are obtuse.

You are utterly stuck on stupid.

[Robert DeLong]

Not only are you obtuse, you also cherry pick to make your case. Sorry, your tactics will not work with me. What I provided earlier, was not the simple definition, but rather the full blown definition. Trump has received the majority of votes per candidates running. I was not referring to the majority of votes cast.
