As of this morning, November 15, Hillary Clinton has 797,724 more votes than Trump. This is essentially equivalent to telling everyone in Dallas, Texas (population 1.3 million, about 60% eligible to vote) that their vote will be ignored this year. Why do we have the electoral college? It has served to ignore the will and preference of the people twice in the past 20 years, resulting in Republican presidents when the people chose the Democrat. How is this democracy? Why do we have no respect for the majority vote?
There is no national popular vote or national election. There are 50 states and DC elections. Trump won 30 of those (59%to Clinton's 41%) and 306--232 (57% to Clinton's 43%) of the Electoral Votes.
Had Trump wanted/needed to win the national popular vote he would have. Clinton tried to win the majority of Electoral College votes and she failed...she wasn't tryin to win any mythical national popular vote. She rightly didn't care about that.
Only a very stupid person doesn't know this.
More people voted for Hillary. More people wanted Hillary to be president.

True statement. Except many weren't here legally! Also many had the pleasure of voting 25+ times!
