Total votes has not elected the President of the USA since the process of the electoral college was established in the late 1700’s. There are times when the total amount of votes has coincided with the results of the electoral college; it happens quite often. However, electoral votes are the only determinant factor in the electing of the POTUS. Every candidate for President knows the rules, and campaigns according to them.

Winning the most votes in the electoral college is the sole determining factor to hold the Office. You don’t need to win the popular vote to be elected. The electoral college does not confirm the popular vote. Most times the popular vote and electoral college go the same candidate, but it signifies nothing except to those who for some insane reason think the popular vote is more meaningful than the electoral college.

Obama received 65,915,795 votes in 2012. Obama received 69,498,516 votes in 2008. Some comments: Nationwide, Hillary received 2,868,686 votes more than Trump. In California, Hillary received 4,269,978 votes more than Trump. In the rest of the country, Trump received 1,401,292 votes more than Hillary. Conclusion: Let Hillary be President of California! Thank you. But he will never shut up about this wrong fact. Also the population in the USA has grown enormously since just the 50’’s and 60’s so of course the voting population will get higher and higher in the 20’s.

Yet if Hillary won the electoral college and not popular vote he would be silent. ???? 1000 % guaranteed. We would also be in a horrible mess by now btw. Clinton spent time campaigning in "Safe States" like California and NY in order to run up the popular vote in case the situation you described occurred. There was considerable thought that Trump would win the popular vote and she win the Electoral Vote - that's the only rational explanation for her going to Safe States and skipping Wisconsin and barely going to other mid-western states. It's her and her advisers fault, but in true Clinton form they deny all responsibility. This whole thing is just a setup for her to be in position at the Democratic Convention when nobody has enough votes to win the nomination outright. She hopes to ride in as the savior of the Democratic Party and steal the nomination. Look at 2016 - the Clinton Machine cleared the field for her except for Bernie, who they have no control over since he's technically an Independent. Even with that, he still gave her a run and she had to resort to all sorts of dirty tricks to beat him. For 2020, people were not going to lay down for her again so this is the path they will take. And Trump will get re-elected by an even greater margin in the Electoral Vote than last time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sucit Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 That may be the best compliment she could have given him. This is ammunition for Bernie. Trust me. He would have to be an idiot to not use this. The current people in power who are involved in endless wars while income inequality is worse than its ever been, those people don't like Bernie? Why don't they like him? They see their gravy train disappearing. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Bernie, well I do believe he is too old to be elected and he seems too far left (for me) as well as open to fits of ranting and raving. So without taking up too much space (bullet points will do) why is Hillary despicable and evil to the core? A little off track perhaps, but in some ways related to Bernie's situation. Just guessing here, but people who hate Hillary and "sort of" like Trump, probably have problems with Hillary being a woman in power who is not very attractive... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her and everything she represents is put at risk if Bernie is president. She has even gone as far as to say she may not endorse him against Trump as well. Another thing that would be easy to call beforehand. These are some of the lowest people on earth. If you look into Bill Clinton's speaking fees, there was a dramatic increase while Hilary was secretary of state. It is so obvious in so many ways how these people grease the wheels for their corporate friends, and Bernie represents a threat to that. Bernie is not funded by corporations, he is funded by people.

The electoral college was set up to prevent states with large numbers of people being able to elect presidents that the rest of the country did not want. That situation existed in 2016 when only the coasts were solidly for Clinton and almost all the other states did not want her. If it were a popular vote, the coasts would dominate the center indefinitely just from population alone. The USA is about ALL the states, not just a few. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
