“This year, Trump took 279, to Clinton’s 228”

Nope. Trump took over 300. Throw out the Califonia vote and Hillary got schlonged on the popular vote too

[roadcat]

This year, Trump took 279, to Clinton’s 228.

That can't be official, as votes are still being counted. I've read various reports with different numbers. One I read, puts Trump at 306 electoral votes. They need to complete tallying absentee ballots.

Clinton narrowly earned the nation’s popular vote.

There isn't such a thing.

Since there is actually no "national election" the alleged "popular vote" is simply the sum of the states' "popular vote" but it is only a statistical number used by the RATs and media for propaganda purposes.

Were it not for the electoral college mechanism, the big cities would always select the president.

The Electoral College – which was first introduced in 1804 – is comprised of 538 electors. Each state’s number of electors is decided by its number of members in Congress, which is dependent on the state’s population. So, when American citizens cast their ballots, they aren’t directly voting for president – they’re voting for electors. This year, Trump took 279, to Clinton’s 228.

The writer of the article was obviously not a math major. 279+228 does NOT equal 538. What happened to the missing 31 electors?

In the meantime millions of people voted FOR Trump to be president.

Sorry folks the election’s over you lost.

They’re hard at work trying to kill the electoral college without an amendment.
