HILLARY AND THE POPULAR VOTE

One more time because I’m sure I covered this in the old rants. Hillary did win the popular vote by three million votes. Fortunately, we don’t elect presidents by the popular vote. So she won a game that wasn’t being played. And before I continue, I think Trump would have won if that was the game we were playing because he would have campaigned in California and New York and Illinois and a lot of people who didn’t waste their time voting in those states would have voted for Trump.

Now the point of this rant is to point out that she won California by more than three million votes. That means that she lost the other 49 states combined popular vote. Wow that’s a mandate if I never saw one. That’s right folks, Trump won the total popular vote in 49 states including, New York and New Jersey and Illinois and the rest of the mid Atlantic and New England and the rest of the left coast. So Hillary thinks that California should decide the presidency over the will of all the rest of the states combined.

Let’s have a little perspective please.
