Just because the story won’t die.. Yes we’ve blamed Hillary, the illegals, next it was bus loads of non-residents, but now we finally get to why POTUS Donnie didn’t win the popular vote.. It’s was Gary Johnson’s fault.
Great thanks, now can we get back to more dire issues like North Korea launching missiles, Federal budget and whether or not Canada’s Trudeau brought Tim Horton donuts with him to the WH visit – PB/TK
Say What?! Donald Trump Would Have Won The Popular Vote If It Weren’t For Gary Johnson – Matt Vespa Posted: Feb 12, 2017 9:00 AM
So, Donald Trump would have won 1.4 million more popular votes than Hillary Clinton if it weren’t for California’s legions of Democratic voters flocking to Hillary. No, I’m not saying these votes don’t count. They do, but for all the wrong reasons. We all knew California was going to go blue, and that the former first lady would get its 55 electoral votes. That was a foregone conclusion. The point is she won the state, got the votes, but didn’t win because she didn’t think that the Rust Belt or white working class voters mattered. You can’t win just by winning the West Coast, the cities, or a combination of the two, plus the liberal Northeast. That’s the beauty of the Electoral College. Trump won the South, the Plain States, most of the Rocky Mountain States, and the Rust Belt. The point is Clinton got more popular votes, yes. But it was all in the wrong places.
But since liberals can’t shut up about Hillary getting roughly three million more popular votes than Donald Trump in that irrelevant aspect of the presidential election, the reason was simple: California. Alas, why the Electoral College is necessary—it prevents coastal liberal elites from dominating national politics. California represents the political disposition of the country? Not by a long shot. But you know this already.
Just because California liberals hate Trump and ran up the score for Clinton in the popular vote doesn’t mean she won. It just means a lot of Californians voted for Clinton over Trump. Trump won 30 states that earned him 304 votes in the Electoral College.
