Clinton’s Lead Approaches 3 Mill. Votes;Trump Tweets He Would’ve Won Popular Vote Had He Wanted To
It appears that President-Elect Donald Trump cannot let go of the fact that he won the Electoral College, but not the popular vote.
The final presidential election results are in, and according to Cook Political Report, Trump got a raw vote total of 62,979,636 (46.1%) while his opponent Hillary Clinton got 65,844,610 votes (48.2). Ergo, Clinton did take the popular vote with a 2,864,974 voter difference from Trump.
Campaigning to win the Electoral College is much more difficult & sophisticated than the popular vote. Hillary focused on the wrong states!

I would have done even better in the election, if that is possible, if the winner was based on popular vote - but would campaign differently

I have not heard any of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I spent FAR LESS MONEY on the win than Hillary on the loss!

Recently, a poll indicated that more than half of Republican voters believe that Trump was the actual winner of the popular vote. Trump has recently said that he would’ve preferred winning the presidency through the popular vote, rather than the Electoral College.

Can you imagine what he would be saying/tweeting if it was he who won the popular vote but lost the electoral college? OMG, Twitter wouldn't have just blown up; it would have exploded into a million tiny pieces by now.
