Another take on the popular vote
Nov 15^th, 2016 at 12:16pm

By Jim Quinn, ZeroHedge
I’ve been listening to the left wingnuts crying foul because Crooked Hillary won the popular vote. They evidently fell asleep during their American government class in high school. The reason there are two senators per state and an electoral college is to keep the large powerful states from wielding too much power in governing the nation.

It seems left wing nutjobs seem to be drawn together into 6 liberal enclaves. You may notice the professional violent Soros protestors do their best work in these states. Republican voters in these states know their vote is worthless, because there are far too many irrational, mathematically challenged snowflakes to overcome. So, many don’t even bother to vote.

Clinton won the popular vote by about 630,000. Jabba the Hutt (aka Michael Moore) and the diverse left wing shrews on MSNBC and CNN are outraged that white deplorables stole the election from their little crook. A little perspective reveals a different picture. You back out the popular vote margin in those six socialist states and Trump wins the popular vote by over 6 million votes. The Hollywood and NYC elites, along with their Hilbots, think the votes of six states should override the overwhelming landslide achieved by Trump in the other 44 states.

Too bad pussies. You lost. No amount of Soros financed riots is going to change the outcome. Time to retreat into your six safe spaces and break out the coloring books and play doh. Isn’t it funny how the left wing media were outraged when Trump said he wouldn’t agree to the outcome before seeing the vote. Now they question the outcome based on no facts or basis for argument.
◦Trump popular vote – 60,351,240
◦Clinton popular vote – 60,981,118

Clinton’s popular vote margin- 629,878

LIBERAL BASTION CLINTON STATE MARGINS
◦California – 2,746,562
◦New York – 1,503,304
◦Illinois – 859,319
◦Maryland – 624,305
◦New Jersey – 486,243
◦Washington – 480,072

Clinton’s liberal bastion state margin – 6,699,805

TRUMP’S POPULAR VOTE MARGIN IN OTHER 44 STATES – 6,069,927

Er... the US is a FEDERAL state with 538 electorates that are NOT exactly the same size population-wise. In other words the US is not a single electorate. If it were you could have a point. But it isn't so you don't.

And Clinton won the popular vote.

She received more votes at the polling booths than Trump.

Thus, America didn't get the President they voted for.

“We probably have about 7 million votes left to count,” said David Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Report who is tracking turnout.

“A majority of them are on the coasts, in New York, California, and Washington. She should be able to win those votes, probably 2-1.”

By mid-December, when the Electoral College officially casts its ballots, Wasserman estimates that Clinton could be ahead by 2 percentage points in the popular vote.

Clinton's Popular-Vote Lead Will Grow, and Grow, and Grow

The US, like here does not work on who get the popular vote but who gets the most states or electorates; Im surprised you are so clueless so as not to know that.

No Im not, I was just joking, I know how clueless you are. Grin
