Trump explains his repeated campaign visits to Maine

According to Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, Clinton’s lead in the popular vote over president-elect Donald Trump surpassed 2 million Wednesday morning, reports Politico.

Clinton’s vote total is 64,223,986 (48.1 per cent of the vote), while Trump’s is 62,206,395 (46.6 per cent), a difference of 2,017,591 votes.

However, four years ago, Trump tweeted: “The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy”, in response to President Barack Obama’s re-election against Mitt Romney in 2012.

If Trump does abandon his vow to appoint a special prosecutor for Clinton, it will be a reversal of a position he mentioned nearly daily on the campaign trail, when he dubbed his rival “Crooked Hillary”.

It would make sure that the candidate who won the most votes would win the presidential election.

“I’m interested in verifying the vote”, Dr. Barbara Simons, who advises the USA election assistance commission and is an expert on electronic voting, said to The Guardian.

Clinton responded: “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country”. Or is he coming to his senses on using the power of the presidency against a rival?

Trump, who once criticized the Electoral College as undemocratic, now salutes it as having a “certain genius”.

Trump concluded: “So I’m going to be studying that very hard, and I think I have a very big voice in it”.

It happened, America: a female candidate for president got the most votes, beating her opponent by millions.

Conway suggested Trump’s new posture is aimed at Republicans in Congress who have relentlessly investigated the former secretary of state, including whether classified information passed through her private email server and how she acted in connection with the raid on the USA compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans.

Trump’s victories in several key swing states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, gave him the majority of projected electoral votes on election night.

If Trump is declared the victor in MI, he will have accumulated 306 electoral votes to Clinton’s 232.
