Hillary Clinton lost but is winning the popular vote
CNN - 5 hours ago


(CNN)Donald Trump may have scored an astonishing upset presidential victory, but Hillary Clinton could still receive more votes.

As of Wednesday evening, hours after Clinton called Trump to concede, the former secretary of state clung to a narrow lead in the popular vote, 47.7%-47.5%.

She had 59,755,284 votes, according to CNN's tally, with 92% of the expected vote counted. Trump had 59,535,522. That difference of 219,762 is razor-thin considering the nearly 120 million votes counted so far. The totals will continue to change as absentee votes trickle in.

I guess CNN said frick it, let's just go all the way dem since everyone knows we are anyway.

I'll say it again though, CNN was way more optimistic about Trump winning than Fox News on election night.

Too bad for Hillary that we live in a Republic and not a Democracy.

Take away all the felons that Obama allowed to vote and she probably lost the popular vote.

Take away all the felons who Terry McAuliffe re-enfranchised in Virginia and Trump's victory is even bigger in the EC.

Hillary ran up the score in NY and California. If the popular vote mattered I strongly suspect a lot of conservatives who didn't bother to vote in NY and Cali would have.

I wouldn't go out of my way in those two states to vote, honestly.

What will they say if after all of the absentee votes are counted she loses the popular vote? I guess they are going to milk this while they can. I wonder if HRC stages any more walks in the woods?

There was only one winner of this election, and he's fixing to MAGA.

The popular vote reflects the big city vote and was obviously going to go to the Dems. So what?
