levins a maroon. Trump didn’t target the popular vote because that’s not how you get elected. Trump won the Electoral College by a landslide margin.
Trump chose a very odd election strategy, then.
Only 9% of the candidates who lost the Popular Vote have managed to win the Electoral Vote.
Why would Trump deliberately choose a strategy that had a 91% failure rate?
Here's another interesting statistic.
In 2012, Romney won Texas by 57.2%.
In 2016, Trump won Texas by 52.4%.
By the way...
I voted for Trump.
I also think Trump was the only GOP candidate who could beat Hillary Clinton.
