Democrats who are having trouble getting out of denial aren't being helped by the fact that Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote has topped 2.8 million, giving her a 48% share of the vote compared with Trumps 46%.
To those unschooled in how the United States selects presidents, this seems totally unfair. But look more closely at the numbers and you see that Clinton's advantage disappears.
While Clinton's overall margin looks large, it is due to Clinton's huge margin of victory in one state — California — where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes.
California is the only state where Clinton's margin of victory was bigger than President Obama's in 2012 — 61.5% vs. Obama's 60%.
But California is the exception that proves the true genius of the Electoral College — which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections.
In recent years, California has been turning into what amounts to a one-party state. Between 2008 and 2016, the number of Californian's who registered as Democrats climbed by 1.1 million, while the number of registered Republicans dropped by almost 400,000.
Many Republicans in the state had nobody to vote for in November.
There were two Democrats — and zero Republicans — running to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer. There were no Republicans on the ballot for House seats in nine of California's congressional districts.
At the state level, six districts had no Republicans running for the state senate, and 16 districts had no Republicans running for state assembly seats.
Republicans knew Clinton was going to win the state — and its entire 55 electoral votes — casting a ballot for Trump was virtually meaningless.
If you take California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the country by 1.4 million votes.

Those mean old slave owning white guys back in 1776 were pretty damn smart to forecast this weren’t they?
She won NY so how can it be entirely California.
Translation: Her entire popular vote came from Mexico.
Merry Christmas
C’mon. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to steal votes in California. “Integrity Central”, or whatever they call it in Spanish, I think “Banana Republique”, is a richly earned moniker.
They created a system that was able to stop one or two states from robbing the election from the rest of the country.
I doubt the numbers vis a vie popular vote anyways. Does anyone think that Hillary was even remotely as popular as Obama in 2012? She had only 100,000 less votes than he did? I know the population is probably slightly larger but i’m still skeptical that she should come close at all.
There are oodles of absentee votes from Trump win states that have never been counted. The popular vote is far from being tallied.
If you take out CA only she loses the remaining popular vote
“They created a system that was able to stop one or two states from robbing the election from the rest of the country.
“
BINGO. This IS about an attempted theft.
It doesn’t matter if she got 110% of the California popular vote, they still have only 55 ELECTORAL VOTES..............
Yes! Even with cheating democrats are still losers! Without the illegals and the dead they wouldn’t have won the popular vote either and believe me in this because I am from Louisiana - I think we invented the dead vote.
For starters, stop all CA federal funds and choke off thse criminal conspirators.
There is no popular vote win because the popular election has not been counted. Not by a long shot.
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of ballots never get counted because they wouldn’t make a difference in the final outcome.
Shows the genius of the Electoral College. One state can allow an invasion, stack the popular vote and win in a popular vote system. But not in an Electoral College system.
Communists, islamists and their facilitators. That’s who voted for hillary.
She also won Illinois among a few other place. But that is not the point. The point is that if you take out California, where rumors of fraud and illegal voting persist, Trump would still win the national popular vote with the rest of the results. Basically one state and maybe two with New York or three with Illinois are holding the rest of the country hostage. And that is why the electoral college matters since it is a firewall to stop a large state or a few states from determining who wins because of cheating, overpopulation and illegals voting.
yep. it was all empty calories in CA, NY, and IL; brainless blue states with millions and millions of fuzzy headed liberals.
