See, but Hillary did not lose. She won. More people voted for her than for Trump.
So let's get it straight. It's the outdated electoral college gig that needs to get the heave-ho. Hillary was a much more respectable candidate than Trump could ever hope to be. And she won.
It's the Republicans who think they have some sort of "mandate" or whatever. They're the ones who need to do a reality check.
Can we PLEASE stop with this "she won the popular vote" crap. Neither candidate was campaigning to win the popular vote; they were campaigning in swing states in order to win the electoral college.
It's not a fair argument.
Yes, I don't like the electoral college as much as the next guy, but these are constitutional rules in play. You don't get to change the rules in the middle of a play or reject those you don't like, especially after the fact.
Hillary ran to win a majority in the electoral college and she failed.
Now, should we have a serious discussion about doing away with the electoral college? Yes. Is this a valid argument in favor of institution a popular vote system? Absolutely. But let's not get distracted from why Trump is going to be the next President not her.
Following 2000 a lot of people adopted "lol, it's just a fluke, we did nothing wrong and we don't have to do our own autopsy" attitude, ignoring all other factors that allowed Bush to win. Well, it was a mistake.
Kindly, get over with your grieving process.
Why don't you give me a break. Whether or not people are going through the "grieving process" as you say, it is not your call to tell anyone to get over it. Why don't YOU get over the fact that people are not acting like you think they should or saying what you think they should.
You are in charge of you, not anyone else.
And in my mind and in many people's thinking, Hillary did win. It also happened to Gore. Something is wrong with this picture and I'm surprised that more people aren't outraged about how our undemocratic election process works.
The issue is simple. Democratic establishment candidate never wins.
Mondale, lost.
Gore, lost.
Kerry, lost.
Hillary, lost.
While non-establishment candidates win
Carter, won.
Bill Clinton, won (establishment passed, thinking 1992 was lost).
Obama, won (establishment backed Hillary).
Reflect on that.
