The "failed presidential candidate" Trump keeps attacking got 47.2% of popular vote. Trump got 46.1%

I'm guessing Trump is well aware of that, and it's part of his hatred of Romney.

1. He should be hospitalized right now. Trump is a very sick man, totally unhinged.

2. He may not know that

It sounds like a detail that he would not choose to learn. He knows that Obama beat Romney, and that's all he cares about. In his feverish little, drug addled mind, he thinks HE won the plurality of the vote. All those cheating brown people were illegal voters.

GAAAAH!

3. another Trump election factoid

Trump carried 30 states. But in 7 of those states, representing 107 electoral college votes -- representing over 35 percent of his 304 EC votes -- he failed to get 50 percent of the popular vote in the state.

By contrast, in two elections, where he carried 26 and 28 states, Barack Obama received at least 50 percent of the popular vote in every state he won.
