Why? He's about as centre as America gets (and still to the right of the Tories in the UK).I didn't dislike him personally. Hell I'd love to have a beer with the guy and talk some sports. But politically, the guy is about as far from me ideologically as he could be.
Thing is that we don't elect a President by popular vote. There are a ton of people that do not go vote in states where the electoral vote is in the bag. For instance, my Grandmother is in Oklahoma. She didn't vote because as she said "my vote doesn't matter here." Clinton beat Trump by 4 million votes in California. So she lost by 2 million in the other 49 states. Cherry picking statistics is great. The reason: Marijuana legalization was on the state ballot, so there was a "high" voter turnout in that very blue state. It ran up the score significantly as a result. Not saying that she wouldn't have still won the popular vote overall if that hadn't been on the ballot, but it likely wouldn't have been nearly as much of a runaway. Florida had medical legalization on the ballot as well, but it is pretty much a 50/50 state. So having increased voter turnout wouldn't skew the votes all that much either way for either party.

Ha ha ha, almost the perfect summation of a "Snowflake", suggestions of the other side being smarter and the obligatory little snide insult tacked on, you can almost hear the tearful little cry "Its not fair, I`m taking my ball home".
It was you and your chums that did not have the political capital, the world does not revolve around your ideals and people who hold a different view have the majority, an there is a big difference between sticking to your ideals and being a whinging little toerag.
I don't think the kisses meant he was celebrating you.
Don't feel too bad. It's nearly weekend xAnd here was me thinking it was the love that dare not speak its name.
Actually it was nearly 3 million more.You mentioned popular and I understand the electoral college and how it attempts to work.
She won the popular vote. She was more popular. That's it.
She didn't win the election due to the vagaries of your system, but your assertion it would have gone to her and she was less popular is wrong.
She received 2m votes more than KGB SuperMole Trump.
That's all I'm saying.
Actually it was nearly 3 million more.
She got 48%, the shitgibbon got 46% and the rest got 6%.
He's now doing free ads for people who say nice things about him!
Edit: Actually it wasn't a free ad. Linda Bean gave $60,000 to a Trump-supporting super PAC.
