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.

You want to bet??

If Trump was elected entirely in accordance with the American electoral laws you leave the forum forever, right now.

Or are you a chicken??

There's no debate on this issue.

Clinton won the popular vote.

She received more votes at the polling booths than Trump.

Thus, the American voting public didn't get the President they voted for.

2010 Australian election: Popular vote Gillard: 4,711,363 Abbott:5,365,529

Gillard was PM even though Australian's 'chose' Abbott. But these things are not determined SIMPLY BY THE POPULAR VOTE in all cases.

This is why marginal seats and swing states matter more than seats/states overwhelmingly voting one way or the other.

You see? You told us all this, old boy. The game's rigged. You predicted the whole thing.

Well, what did I just say? ....

Oh, so the popular vote doesn't matter, all of a sudden. Never mind that in the US the number of electoral college votes determine who is president, not the popular vote.

I LOVE how you guys are constantly exposing yourselves as the shifty little opportunistic spivs and unprincipled and dishonest agit-prop cadres that you are at heart and in what you please to call your shrivelled and deformed little minds.

Trump won according to the rules of the US electoral system. Gillard became PM according to Australian electoral rules.
That's all that matters.

Correct.

And nobody has said anything to the contrary.

Why do you always argue with yourself?
