The dems like to bring up the fact their losing candidates got more popular votes than the Republican victor. What is always left unsaid is all those “extra” popular votes are from the most corrupted election locales (dem controlled large cities).
Focusing on the national popular vote is akin to saying the Yankees won the 1960 World Series because they outscored the Pirates 55 runs to 27.
While that’s true, the the Pirates won the World Series because they beat the Yankees four times out of seven games.
Total runs is an interesting statistic, and factors into winning, but that’s not THE metric for determining the winner.
Same with Presidential Elections.
