Trump lost popular vote by 2.8 million – but he BEAT Clinton by 3 million votes outside NY and CA

This explains everything in America: The Leftist coasts have large populations and seek to rule the entire nation's land mass. We know that New York state is this exact situation in a microcosm.

When I was younger, I didn't understand the electoral college. As I've aged, I've grown to see the wisdom of the framers in establishing this ingenious system to avoid a tyranny by the majority.

Final tally shows Trump lost popular vote by 2.8 million | Daily Mail Online

Final vote tallies from the November 8 election show that Democrat Hillary Clinton out-polled President-elect Donald Trump by 2.8 million votes while losing the contest by a wide margin in the all-important Electoral College.

Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary.

Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide.

When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes.

This election (and the title of this thread) are the best examples of why we have and need the electoral college.

Which is why we can't get rid of the electoral college. I agree in theory it should be popular vote and that should count for something, but America is 50 states not 5 states.

If all of the election fraud was squeezed out of the system I bet the 2.8mm would effectively evaporate. After all obummer was telling illegals to vote without consequences.

2.8 only? What they couldn't get the 20 million illegals to the polls?

There needs to be new rules in this country.
Big cities with a certain number of people, say 5 million should be allowed to make their own liberal laws but those laws should not be state wide. That way if you want to live under the rule of the government, move to the city.
Big city folk and rural folk are vastly different in almost evey way. Many laws made by the legislators in the city, make zero sense in the country.
This would eliminate probably most of the friction between right and left.
OR
Eliminate most federal laws and let the states make laws that their citizens want. Then you can just move to the state that best matches your views.

Its at the point where liberals and conservatives cannot live together. There is no compromise, there is no middle ground. Somethings gotta give.

Meanwhile back at the DNC Donna the Buffalo Brazile and her comrades are trying to figure out a way to effectively rig the Electoral College before 2020.
