Here’s a sports analogy to that “Hillary won” nonsense: on Sunday, 49ers rookie QB C.J. Beathard threw for 235 yards, whil Dallas QB Dak Prescott threw for 234. Dallas won the game, 40-10.

As for election night, the best argument against the “Hillary won” noise is: In addition to trouncing Hillary in the electoral vote, Trump won the popular vote of the aggregate of 49 states and DC by 1.7 million and the election was long decided before motor-voter California tabulated vote. That state hasn’t figured decisively into an election for generations.

Also, Trump didn't waste his time campaigning in a state that was locked in for Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton made the strategic decision to ignore Wisconsin and Michigan, and put a weak effort in Pennsylvania ... paying the price. If the Constitution called for a straight popular vote, Trump would have run a different campaign.

A better one, imo, is the 1960 World Series. The Yankees outscored the Pittsburgh Pirates 55 to 27. But guess what?

The Pirates won the series four games to three.

The Yanks ran the table in games 2,3 and 6—won by HUGE margins. The Yanks won each of their contests by almost twelve runs per game. They won like the DemonRats do in California and New York.

But the Pirates won in the other four games by closer margins! Much closer—less than 2 runs a game. But they won all four square and fair.

Champs? Pirates.

Also, look at it this way: Trump won 30 states. Shrillary only won 20.

I use this sports analogy for people in this debate

The Red Sox out hit the Yankees 7-4 but lost the game 3-2.
