The keep saying she won the popular vote, which does not exist.

So she won a game that nobody else was playing.

If the “popular vote” is how you get elected President, then candidate Trump would have changed his game plan and fought for that instead of electoral votes.

Hildabeast won huge in California. Guess what, candidate Trump never went there. He didn’t spend a dime on a state he knew he could not win.

Candidate Trump knew the rules of the game and planned his strategery accordingly.

It is like the world series. You win the series if, and only if, you win the most games. It doesn’t matter how many runs you score.

What's more impressive is the number of counties Trump won compared to what Hillary won.

2,626 - 487

>>So she won a game that nobody else was playing.

As late as 4 or 5 pm on Election Day, she and the lapdog media were still playing Electoral College Bingo, showing how Trump’s massive popularity wouldn’t matter because Hillary was set to run the table in the EC. They said that it was simply impossible for Trump to win those electoral votes regardless of his popular vote count because Hillary had played the electoral map game so masterfully.

Thanks - the “world series” example is the best one I’ve yet seen that the common man could understand.

Games 1, 2, & 3 could be a blowout with the winning team scoring 20 more runs than their opponent in each game. But if they lose the rest of the games 1-0, they lose the series - even though they’ve scored > 55 more runs.

Exactly. There is no national popular vote. The vote is by the states.
