Here's the rub...it doesn't fricking matter!

We don't have a popular vote system to elect presidents. Why won't they let this go?

I'm sure they'll move on eventually. Maybe in a year or two.

Well, it is noteworthy and remarkable.

Trump isn't helping either when he says he won in a landslide.

I've been accustomed to watching the left make asses of themselves for a long time.

Don't worry about how many yards she gained, just point to the scoreboard!

We can't assume the outcome would be the same with popular vote. Both candidates, not to mention millions of voters, would have changed their approach to the election.

People in solid red or blue states would have been more likely to vote and less likely to vote third party. The candidates would have campaigned in 50 states instead of 15.

Part of the plan, step 1:

Trump is not legitimate, didn't win the popular vote. It's not going to go away.

This is like a team that had more T.O.P. bitching that their opponents won due to scoring more points.

It's insane.

It's a good plan.

The GOP would do the same if the tables were turned.

Good. Every time they say that they further alienate the voters in the rustbelt and other swing states by telling them their votes shouldn't count because people in California didn't get their way.

If you subtract NY and LA, he won by almost 500,000 votes

Trump won 30 states to Clinton's 20. I think that's wonderful.

Trump did win in a landslide, 30 states to 20.

This.

Everyone knew the rules of engagement going in. The candidates campaigned accordingly.

Maybe I'd take these protests seriously if they'd happened when Obama won. News flash: he didn't win because he won the popular vote. He won because he gained more electoral votes.

The two tallies usually correlate, but not 100% of the time.
