Adjusted for illegal aliens and voter fraud and Trump wins by at least a million; maybe 2 million.

Thank God the founders had the wisdom to dream up the electoral college.

Subtract out Californistan and he would be up 2.5 mil. They skew everything.

The electoral college was a stroke of genius. It kept a few big states from dominating the entire process. (I might add that the popular vote needs to be taken with a big grain of salt. A lot of bogus votes were “cast” yesterday by one party.)

Yes. That’s one of the differences between a republic and a democracy.

Trump would have won Virginia if it hadn’t been for the prison vote.

I recall Drudge posting that there was going to be 140 million votes in this election, but it looks like it may fall short of 130 million. Bad exit polling data?

If the popular vote mattered Trump would have had rallies in California and the northeast. You can’t change the game after its played.

If it was a popular vote election Trump would have campaigned in California, New York and Texas and he would have won.

While I wish he would have won the popular vote it is actually meaningless. It is not our system. Fortunately.

If we had a fair and impartial media Hillay would never have been the nominee. And she certainly wouldn’t have gotten as many votes as she did.
