re: " Donald Trump won the presidency, but Hillary won the Popular Vote by a margin of 206,379 or so."

You'd have to be pretty stupid to think that Hillary would have won if the election had been based on the popular vote.

If it had been based on the popular vote, Trump would have STILL won. There are, after all, about 15 million disenfranchised conservatives in California who know there's no point in voting. And, if the popular vote was what mattered, Trump would have campaigned differently.

Regardless, it's water under the bridge. I'd have no problem with getting rid of the Electoral College. I think it's time to get rid of it. But I have a hunch that if you brought it up in a few weeks, Democrats would be opposed.

Donald Trump won the presidency, but Hillary won the Popular Vote by a margin of 206,379 or so.

That fact caused Simon Rosenberg, a veteran Democratic strategist and the president of the NDN think tank to moan about a Democratic Party in Crisis.

“We are the only democracy in the developed world where if you win more votes you don’t control the government and the legislature. There is not a wholesale rejection of the Democratic party and the Democratic brand, that’s not what happened last night despite the fact we now have less power than we’ve had since 1928.”

Let’s investigate Rosenberg’s complaint another way.

Geographically speaking, Trump won at least 80% of the Nation. The only states Hillary carried are Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Trump won every county in Oklahoma and West Virginia. Trump won all but one county in Wyoming, and Kansas. Trump won all but two counties in North Dakota, Kentucky, Tennessee, Utah, and Nebraska.

Nearly the entire state of Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Oregon, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, etc., went for Trump.

Geographically speaking, except for big cities and a few isolated areas, the country cannot stand Hillary.
