From ABC news:
"It's been nearly two weeks since the November 8 general election, but the results have not remained static as ballots continue to be counted.
While the number of votes for both president-elect Donald Trump and his former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton continue to increase, the gap is widening, with Clinton expanding her popular vote lead over Trump.
According to new figures released by The Associated Press on Saturday, Clinton received more than 1.5 million votes more than her Republican rival.
As of Saturday, Clinton had received 63,390,669 votes, while Trump received 61,820,845 votes -- a difference of 1,569,824, according to The AP.
Rounded off to whole numbers, that translates to 48 percent vs. 47 percent."

Basically, if you deduct the estimated 2-3 million illegal aliens and/or "dead" people who voted for Hillary, Trump won the popular vote handily.
But, it doesn't matter ... it's only electoral votes that count as we all know.

And THEY haven't voted yet. They vote in December. They CAN vote for anyone they want, they're "committed" to Trump, but they're high level party people. It's their reward for "service", like presidents use ambassadorships. IF the R party leaders REALLY don't want Trump, he may not get elected. It would cause an outrage but it's possible.

Simple minded people ignore the fact that at least 3 million illegal votes were cast for killary. Every non political statistician says so, EVERY ONE. 100%
In 2020 we will have voter ID cards issued to citizens, the ones that can prove they are alive;)
Having said that, there is the little fact that popular vote means nothing.
Having said that look at what a mandate really is.... overwhelming numbers in Congress, Senate, supreme Court, governors, mayors, local officials..... and the white house.
Don't call it a mandate if you like, watch the next 8 years.
Wait till the next midterm election, want my prediction now? I don't think you liberals value my opinion, after all you did not bet on trump like I did, real money!

The popular vote is a canard being pushed by the left when they were shocked to learn that Hillary could not carry the electoral vote. Geographically the majority of the country voted for Trump. Hillary received votes from the usual suspect states such as California and New York City. The founders were wise to establish the electoral college because it is a mechanism that protects us from flawed voting

Desperate liberals can only dream and wish upon a star. If they can't be happy, they definitely do not wish others to be happy. After all, everyone should be equally miserable.
You can dream and wish and perhaps break a Thanksgiving turkey wishbone, but there is no chance that the electoral votes will change against Trump. So, get used to saying "President Trump." Stress is unhealthy.

Trump will more than likely get impeached. It will be President Pence which is far worse.

Your belief in this gives me even more confidence in a solid Trump presidency.

Like I said, dream some and wish some. Tell me how Trump will be impeached with a Republican majority congress. Or, didn't you realize this fact yet?

Some just don't accept if they and the system of providing a candidate for POTUS found Clinton to be "acceptable" then everyone/anyone else is golden!!!!!!! :)

The GOP leads the White House, Congress and most state governments. That's not coincidental.

Some folks will do anything to get publicity for themselves, and it looks like Hamilton will finally get a full house or two out of curiosity, if not for their questionable talent.

It's possible...it's up the the leaders of the R party. Believe me, I don't want Hillary. I'm just saying, the vote isn;t over until the EC results are counted by Congress in Jan.

Even faker...fake "history". There's no end to the delusion. Black people founding America...that's a joke! Black people found Somalia, Haiti, Jamaica...those paradises.
