Where people vote is as important as how many. Focusing where he did, Trump got votes that counted.
The media worked overtime to suppress Trump votes. If Americans find out Trump isn’t the devil over the next four years 2020 could be a very bad year for democrats.
I don’t really care who got the most votes - he’s got the most Electoral College votes (and it’s growing as a few States finally give up trying to find tons of “lost” Hillary votes) and she didn’t come close.
They are still counting the votes. Confdent Trump will surpass Romney.
You know what you call a guy who gets fewer votes than the last candidate and only a few more in key states than his opponent?
MR. PRESIDENT
Trump won 30 states to Romney’s 24. The point is to win the Electoral vote, which Trump did handily.
Winning the popular vote in a Presidential Election is akin to winning “Miss Congeniality” in a beauty contest; it’s nice, but in the end, it doesn’t mean very much.
Who cares......... Mittens or any other GOPe candidate would have melted under the pressure of this last campaign. Trump was a Godsend.
Trump won DESPITE huge election faud. Votes changed on machines from Trump to Clinton, illegals voting, dead people voting, etcetcetc.
We will never know what the real numbers were. At least he won big enough to overcome the 10% or more of illegal votes/changed votes etc.
This is irrelevant. States stop counting “absentee” ballots once it appears that they would make no difference in the outcome of the election. We’ll never know how many votes either person got. That’s why we have the electoral college. Arizona will still be counting 2016 ballots when the 2020 ballots start rolling in. LOL.
Don’t think Trump was running against Romney.
A bunch of lying propagandists quoted in those first paragraphs. Votes continue to roll in large batches for at least 10 days following an election, amounting to millions of votes (hand-counted absentees, military overseas, etc.) amounting to millions of votes.
The people quoted know this and know better. As such, they are propagandizing. Trump will easily surpass Romney’s total from 2012. Hillary will get no where near Obama’s total.
The vote totals for most states are not certified by the state Secretaries of State for up to 30 days in some States, for that very reason, as millions of votes remain yet to count. The delay in certifying the 50 state elections allows for ‘all the votes to be counted’, and also time for contested elections, to do recounts. Recall Bush v. Gore? There was no delay there, just a contested election using the time available for such.
