She won the popular vote in 2008 but Obama won the primary with more delegates.

no riots then or calls to change the system.

Yeah, largely because a lot of would be Trump votes didn't bother to come out in solid blue California. Not everyone is as virtuous as Jim Robinson.

Well, ... that’s different.
It would have been racist to make an issue of the democratic vote then. /libtard logic

She lost the superdelegate vote in 2008. They must’ve been a bunch of anti-woman misogynist Democrats.

Who says she won the popular vote, anyway? A lot of states quit counting after Trump gained an insurmountable lead. Thousands of votes weren’t even counted.

In this case a foreign born muslim communist racist black man won.

Michelle Obama declared her husband was born in Kenya. Obamas grandma said she was there in Kenya when he was born there. His own book jacket says he was born in Kenya. The article desribing his illinois senate run on the socialsit New party describes him being Kenyan born.

Wasn’t his bio re: The Harvard Law Review claiming that he was born in Kenya?

No, his own book Dreams of My father, in the book jacket ablut the author had him born in kenya. Guess what anyone normal would have done if they saw this error in their autobio book? Now guess what anyone who wanted to be the US president when asked at age 10, would hve done if they saw ts error n his book?

Now wondr the response if this persons wife gave a political speech opening by saying you were not born in the us but knew you wanted torun for president in the fuure? How could,your wife get this basic fact wrong?

And how could,yur grandma whowitnesed your birth in kenya get it wrong?

Hillary only won more popular votes over Obama in 2008 by virtue of putting her name on the ballot in unrecognized (by the DNC) primaries that were held in Florida and Michigan. Also, Obama won substantial numbers of his delegates in caucus states for which individual participant votes are not tallied. They were low turnout affairs which she and her experts assumed she would draw followers to come participate in. Not unlike the lack of motivation we saw in this last election (e.g. her low attended rallies).

If the goal were to maximize votes, Trump would have campaigned differently. But the goal is to maximize electors, so he focused his campaign in MI, OH, PA, FL, and to a lesser extent VA and WI.

The question is like saying well Chicago won the game, but the Indians had more hits, so its not fair.

In addition, all the dead votes and illegal votes, if subtracted, would render Trump ahead in the popular vote.
