And Bill Clinton lost it by 6 times the votes his wife did and he was still a very popular president. Bill got 44% with 56% voting against him. That makes Trump's 2.5 mil look like nothing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Only that Trump lost the popular vote. He's not right that Trump will be unpopular, he has nothing to base his opinion on. Bill Clinton got crushed in the popular vote and he was wildly popular. He got almost 400 EC votes in 1996 and only won the popular vote by 1/10 of 1%. Kinda makes your theory irrelevant, doesn't it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

About what? What are you talking about? Just saying the same thing over and over makes no sense. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

'he has no popular support the way you and his other supporters claims he does.' So you missed the thank you rally the other day? He packed the place, it was standing room only. Trump would have won the popular vote if he'd campaigned in the blue states like Calif, NY, NJ, IL. I'm not the only one saying that. But it's an EC election, he concentrated on the battleground states and won. Trump got a huge mandate. Senate seats, house seats, governors, state legislators got elected on Trump's coat tails. The Dem party is in shambles, literally falling apart. They vote to keep Pelosi? How out of touch can you be. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Nareed is still right "Would have" is meaningless Who cares who's is saying "would have" its still a meaningless statement I'm not out of touch regarding the popular vote total, just simply agreeing with Nareed who is right How many people do you know that base there vote on whether a candidate visits their area? Everybody I know , this has no factor in their vote I doubt anybody over at WOV based their vote on a candidate visit Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Sure you are. If you knew what's going on there is no way you would want winner take all. State elections, which is what we have now, represent the different values we have around the country. The values in Calif are totally different than the values people have in TN. Why would you want the vote of somebody who lives in a state with a moral vacuum like Calif, why would you want their votes cancelling out yours in TN. The way it's set up now, that can't happen. You vote for your electors only, your vote only counts in your state. It's a brilliant way to elect a president. There is zero argument for a popular vote election, EC will be around for many many elections to come. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
