But Clinton’s popular-vote lead over Trump is so large that it complicates the question of how to recalibrate for future elections.

Democrats continue to be clueless about why they lost so badly. The popular vote count is NOT how the presidential elections are won. Let them continue in denial, and let them use the popular vote count as a "win" for their side. FACT remains that, the national election was not run with the idea that the winner of the popular vote, wins the presidency. That's not the campaign that was run. The campaigns were running to get the most electoral college vote counts. If the election had been about winning the popular vote, Hillary would very likely have lost that too. Hillary's win of the popular vote was only because of California's votes and NY's votes. If the election was about the popular vote count, Trump would have campaigned in those states too, and California would not have gone as big as it did for Hillary, and neither would NY and the other states which were "gifted" to her because Trump didn't even bother to campaign there.

But, it's a win going forward for republicans if the democrats insist that they can "rest on their laurels" because of Hillary's "win" of the popular votes. Denial will keep them from winning future elections.

Good post, let the dems keep doing it wrong. Let them ignore the few people who came to her events and the many many more that came to Trumps. Let's let the media still be the dems cheerleaders with their made up stories. Let the conservatives continue to see the truth.
