Democrats who are having trouble getting out of the first stage of grief — denial — aren't being helped by the fact that, now that all the votes are counted, 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 all but disappears. As we noted in this space earlier, while Clinton's overall margin looks large and impressive, it is due to Clinton's huge margin of victory in one state — California — where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump. View Quote This election couldn't be a better argument for the electoral college. |

Well, those same 4.3 million idiots can vote for succession from the Republic.

This is true.
The only people to vote for Clinton were from California - just as the only ones to vote for Obama were. And of course due to the EC Trump never campaigned in the state and Hillary just did some fund raising. You don't get the change the rules to the 'game' after the game is over. You don't get to keep on counting the votes until you get it right. The liberals are doing everything they can to make it seem like Trump doesn't have a mandate to destroy the Obama legacy. I would say fuck them but that would be rude. So instead I will say fuck them. |

So remove CA and NYC and trump won the rest by nearly 6 million
|
|
And that margin in California (and the Democrats control of the state generally) is entirely due to the 1986 Amnesty and the subsequent Hispanic baby boom/mad dash for the border to get in on the amnesty.

I'd bet there is a reliable, scientific way to figure out how many illegal immigrant votes there were in Cali.

Of the 10 blue states that Hillary Clinton won by the largest percentage margins — California, Massachusetts, Vermont, Hawaii, Maryland, New York, Illinois, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut — every single one of them lost domestic migration (excluding immigration) over the last 10 years (2004-14). Nearly 2.75 million more Americans left California and New York than entered these states." |

Wasn't me.
My precinct and a bunch around me went for Trump. |
|
|
At this point, what difference does it matter?
It's a bit of interesting trivial bull shit from the media but it matters not a bit to those living in the real world. |

Start requiring ID and proof of citizenship to vote and Democrats will never be in the WH again.
|
|
Remove all the illegals voting and Trump would have won the popular vote, guaranteed.

Most of those 3.5 Clinton votes in California probably came from illegals. Let's see what happens when the sanctuary cities lose their federal funding. View Quote They're not the same you know. There are hundreds of sanctuary cities in America but my city is not one of they yet still have seen tens of thousands of Hispanics move here in the last 15 years. They're not afraid of our laws on immigration, on work permits, or even on voting. The federal government has a catch and release policy except for the most violent of the violent. Many Americans suffer under the delusion as if obeying the law was important and shit to everyone. It's simply not the case for the majority of Americans. |

After your "new nation" implodes economically and civilly, and the shell-shocked survivors of that Mad-Max scenario are ready to embrace Capitalism and the Rule-of-Law again, we can talk. Until then, get out. Oh, and enjoy your Mexican-drug-cartel/MS-13-induced Thunderdome. I hear it's lovely this time of year. |

Does it matter? Bush didn't win the popular vote in 2000 either. No love for either of NY or Ca, but they are Americans that voted. It is not a great argument. Just accept that Trump ran a campaign to win the electoral college not the popular vote. Who knows where Trump would have campaigned if it were up to the popular vote. He focused on the "rust belt" and other states to win not the popular vote.
Saying "if you exclude these states then Trump would have won the popular vote" is just silly. Focus on the next step not squabbling about the system both parties knowingly ran under. |

Can someone put to words the number of house, senate (state and fed), and governors the Dems lost too? Someone talked about it in a video that replied to the dems saying "trump lost the popular vote, you do not have a mandate". Would love those stats for facebook wars :)

Hillary won less than 13% of the total population of this country and less than 25% of the total number of eligible voters in this country because she only won a small percentage of the people that did vote. She is not the peoples choice by popularity, neither is DT but that's besides the point she CANNOT say that by winning the popular vote that translates into a majority of the population of this country prefers her to be president. |
