Clinton lost by a razor thin margin and likely would have won if the investigation had been put to bed. You're just swimming in conspiracy theories now which is exactly what Trump wants. |

Clinton crushed Trump in the popular vote and narrowly missed three critical swing states by just 80,000 votes. The election was very close.
The map is pretty though. |

And if the popular vote mattered worth a frog's fat ass, Trump (like your wet dream Hilary) would have skipped flyover country and campaigned harder on the coasts. He chose to speak to people in Wisconsin and Ohio. She chose not to. Oh well. |

Without California's popular vote totals, Trump popular vote crushes Clinton in the rest of the country. |

You could say that about several states, or the reverse for Trump's electoral votes. |

No you cannot. The margin of victory for Clinton in California alone is way, way, way more than she needed to get the majority of the popular vote. In fact, she would have lost the popular vote by 1.4 million votes without California. And it very clearly demonstrates why Democrats do not want, at least for a few more election cycles, to restrict immigration from south of the border.

She won by nearly 2m votes in NY as well.
So flip it around and say had she won just Texas she'd be POTUS. It was close...3 swing states and 80,000 votes. |

Ahhhh...the old "Popular Vote" argument.
The popular vote means nothing, zip, zilch, nada, bupkis.
It has absolutely no bearing on who gets elected in a presidential election. It's created by the media to give people something to bitch about.
Who wins the World Series? The team who scores the most runs or the team who wins the most games?
This simple concept is completely lost on the Butt hurt brigade......and Hillarys campaign managers.

The only thing I'm swimming in, is the absurdity of someone who thinks that having lost a contest, is irrefutable evidence that said loser played by the rules.
Conspiracy theories? I listed the facts. I asked you if any of them was wrong, and you didn't claim a single one was wrong. Hmm, I wonder why? |
