Most Republicans Think Trump Won Popular Vote

A new Qualtrics survey shows a large fraction of Republicans — 52% — said Trump won the popular vote, compared with only 7% of Democrats and 24% of independents. Among Republicans without any college education, the share was even larger: 60%, compared with 37% of Republicans with a college degree.

In reality, Hillary Clinton won 2.8 million more votes than Trump.

illegals that voted for her and she only won 15 states. There were 3 other Trump supporters there and they all
jumped in agreeing with him. That is the talking points they got from Trump and Fox and nothing will change their mind.
