The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!

If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily

Hard to disagree with that even though he stated to the contrary in the past.

Liberals should love the Electoral College. It was designed to help prevent minority opinion from getting crushed by the tyranny of the majority. That's like liberalism 101.

Alright. He should really just stop talking about it. He's thoroughly embarrassed himself enough on the matter.

But as it turned out, they control the population centers so they couldn't care less about the principals associated with the creation of the electoral college.

I have a feeling this isn't the only time this sentence will be uttered during Trump's Presidency.

We keep putting crooks and liars in the White House and wonder why nothing ever changes.

He needs to quit being petty and worry about his job.

People can learn.

I hate that people always bring up something someone said years ago, that at the time was short sighted or ignorant of facts.

If you can't learn and grow then you are useless.

His opponent has specifically brought up this point. I think the sitting outgoing president has as well. In addition MAINSTREAM media outlets have been droning on about it incessantly. I don't know how succinctly addressing it in two sentences on Twitter is "being petty."

In this case, if true, they are right.

They are right in saying that he is being petty. Got that? I can prob break it down even simpler if needed.

I was referencing the point of the popular vote "win." I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. It seemed clearly enough implied.
