Just like in 2000, when we fought after that to change them. Gore won popular vote, right?

But straight 'majority rule' can be tricky, too.

Remember when California tossed out gay marriage (Prop 8)?

What I'm saying is, people don't always agree with us - and facts may have nothing to do with it.

Almost 63,000,000 voted for 'that guy.' Did facts matter?
