Hillary Clinton Is Taking Her L Really, Really Hard

We can’t begin to imagine how hard it must’ve been for Hillary Clinton to lose to the racist clown that is Donald Trump, but somehow Hill found the strength to keep going after such a crushing blow! Clinton got 47.8 percent of popular votes as of November 15; Trump got 47.2 percent. If it had been in effect this year, Hillary Clinton would’ve won the presidency, because 270 votes would have automatically gone to her after she won the popular vote. Mrs. Clinton conceded the race, acknowledging Mr. Trump as the victor.

Mr. Madison was a Virginia slaveholder.

Many Americans’ first vote was casted for an African American president. Since 2007, 10 states and the District of Columbia have signed onto the Compact, and it’s now sitting at a total of 165 electoral votes, about 61 percent of the way to its goal of 270.

It means that he won the votes of the people that determine the outcome according to the rules everyone was playing by. Trump did not win a mandate for change; he won because huge numbers of votes are discarded in Electoral College counts. Seven states have only three. As a result, Southern states were given more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and more electors who selected the president.

But if you look at the exit polls released by CNN on election day, 73% of voters made their decision on who they would cast a vote for by September, before any of the above events occurred.

The Electoral College is a defective institution.

The Arizona Republic reports that the electors are not legally required to vote for Trump despite having pledged to support the party nominee. Still want to know more about the Electoral College, why it was founded and how it works?

This is the fifth time the candidate who actually received more votes “lost” the election.

It last happened to Al Gore in 2000, when he lost to George W. Bush. In addition, a national bonus system would encourage candidates to campaign in all the states because the popular vote would have an impact on the election. Namely, the disenfranchised portion of the population, often rural, with little access to healthcare and education, who live in poverty and are fed up with the current political and economic structure, voted for the change they believed Trump would provide them. If one voter in a hundred in each state had switched to Hillary Clinton (thus producing a 2 percent swing), we would be talking about a new Democratic administration.

The number of each state’s electors is determined by the size of its congressional delegation.

Nearly a third – 28 percent – of respondents said they expected Trump to become one of the best presidents in United States history.

Most despicable, all of you who cast your vote for Trump have given the people of this country a license to hate. David Wasserman’s Cook Report spreadsheet shows Hillary with a 3.2 million vote advantage in California, 1.5 million in NY, and almost a million in MA as of this morning.

On July 17 the delegates decided that there should be one president, elected by Congress and eligible for re-election, and then they changed their minds four times in 10 days. But Trump has a large lead in the Electoral College, and it’s extremely unlikely dozens of Republican electors would abandon him. “Campaigning is much different!”
