    Of course he won the most counties by miles.

    Because most of his voters were uneducated hicks who lived in the sticks (BTW - I grew up in the 'sticks'). And counties in the sticks have FAR lower people-per-square-mile then those in the cities.

    I despise both major parties and I DESPISE the Electoral College...it is a joke. And if Trump had won the popular vote but lost the electoral college...the Reps would hate it as well, guaranteed (though still probably less then I do, on average).

    I say you cannot become President if you lose the popular vote (and I am neither Rep nor Dem).

    As much as I hated Hillary as a candidate (though less then I hated Trump), she should be POTUS because she won the popular vote.

    The polls had Clinton with what, about three percentage points ahead and she won by two? Within the margin of error.

    Don't get mad if I don't read your racist Newsweek article. Insulting Trump voters intelligence is why the democrats will not fare as well as they expect in the midterms. Frankly, I cannot think of a worse waste of a vote than for voting for Corrupt Hillary. Really, at this point, knowing all we know, aren't you glad she didn't win? Fusion GPS, Hillary Russia collusion, deleted emails, DNC & Hillary rigging the election, Uranium One, Clinton Foundation pay for play, the fake Russian dossier, cheating in the debates?

    I guess you didn't watch election night. According to the polls, Hillary was supposed to win by a landslide on election day, and all the in the tank media were practically in tears when she lost.

    We are a representative republic, not a democracy. Don't like it? Move to France.
