As I predicted after the election, surpassing the 2.5 million mark.
These are older Trump numbers, but Clinton's lead exceeds the number of Trump voters in all eleven states.
The Electoral College is supposed to protect us, not let us down.

(3,270 posts)lining up to say, "After 8 years of massive and unprecedented obstructionism from the GOP while demanding that a democratically elected President (who won both the popular vote and electoral college) reach across the aisle, it is now the turn of the GOP to reach across the aisle as their platform has lost the popular vote in the USA by over 2.5 million votes in the popular vote. There is no mandate here, and more Americans rejected than voted for the GOP platform. It is time for the GOP to find compromise, as they do not have a mandate."

(7,228 posts)Trump does not give a flying fuck about losing by 2.5 million. He will not acknowledge this is reality. So goes our sociopathic president elect. There will be no olive branch extended or empathy provided.
As Bernie says, it will take a revolution.

Consequently, the loser who has no qualifications for the job - Republican role model Comrade Casino - get to be President of the USA.
