Obama urged Clinton to concede on Election Night

But a week after he apparently won the Electoral College vote while losing the popular vote to Clinton by well over a million votes, Trump demonstrated yet again his, uh, flexibility.

We can do that through the National Popular Vote Compact, an agreement that Common Cause and other democracy reform organizations have helped push through legislatures in 10 states and the District of Columbia but that still has considerable ground to cover before it can be implemented.

This actually happened three times in the 1800s and now it has happened twice in the last 16 years.

He is set to receive 306 Electoral College votes to 232 for Clinton.

He then goes on to repeat his oft-repeated claim that it would have been “much easier” to win the popular vote than the electoral college.

The victor of the popular vote has lost in presidential elections four times before, but some of Clinton’s supporters have argued that her large lead and likely victory in the popular vote should force politicians to reconsider the electoral college system.

It’s unfathomable that Donald Trump has time to tweet about “Hamilton” on Broadway, but has zero to say about white supremacists’ joy for his election. It says that without the blessing of Congress, presidents cannot accept “any present, emolument, office or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince or foreign state”. The bill already has been passed into law in 11 states – states that control 165 electoral votes.

“Hillary Clinton won the election”, Nader said. Trump, who had said he thought cheating might affect the results, refused to make such a promise. “This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and I’m sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country”. “But one of our hallmarks has always been that we accept the outcomes of our election”.

In 2000, Democrat Al Gore’s final lead over George W Bush, who won the election after a prolonged legal challenge, was almost 544,000.
