Final tally shows Trump lost popular vote by 2.8 million – but he BEAT Clinton by 3 million votes outside of California and New York Clinton won California by 4.2 million votes and New York by 1.6 million, running up the score in places where she would have won no matter what Outside of those two liberal states, Trump was 3 million votes ahead California alone accounted for more than Clinton's national popular-vote edge Newt Gingrich mocked: 'This is football season. A team can have more yards and lose the game. What matters is how many points you put on the board'

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.

That wouldn’t matter in a popular vote.
THANK GOD the Electoral College is nearly impossible to get rid of!!
We are the United States of America, not the United Socialist California Republic.
Fruits nuts and illegal aliens in CA
Dunno about NY
It was a very easy victory for Trump in the end. his masterful strategy broke the backs of those who opposed his rightful position as leader
Without the Electoral College we would just let California elect the President
Trump could have had more rallies in California, but his supporters got beat-downs there.
I just love those numbers! Poor poor pitiful NY and CA with all their celebrities and “fashion” sense.
Trump has said if they used the popular vote he would have campaigned in CA and NY and still won.
Since he would not need to win those states, but just peel away 3M more votes, that is plausible.
When the fraud settles - which it probably won’t because nobody seems interested in tackling that major issue - then it will be learned that she lost by about 10 million nationwide.
California is a crap pot of illegals that vote. As far as NY, who knows why they are so ignorant. It’s the city in NY but California, just look at Los Angeles. Damn near a total Mexican country by itself.
Hillary Lost.The Libs better learn to get over it.
I don’t want to be ruled by New York and California.
If they change the electoral system, the flyover states should first get a chance to form their own nation without those two.
CA is a perfect example of if you can control the media, you can control the message.
Back in 2010, I asked some of my friends if they were following the “Tea Party” movement.
They all said: “What the heck is that?”
Because the MSM in CA refused to cover it.
How fitting, Trump would have won the popular vote if not for the sanctuary states of NY and Cal.
Looks like he was spot on with his statement he would have won the popular if not for illegals.
In the liberal la la land of Minnesota, Hillary narrowly won carried only by votes from Hennepin and Ramsey counties (Minneapolis and St Paul).
notice California and NY are not doing anything to have proportional electoral vote awards.
This is a real dumb measurement. How much more did she spend to get that many more votes? If she were smart she would have targeted her money better and spent lest and got more needed votes like Trump did. What a disaster she would have been with taxpayer dollars. She wasn’t event smart enough not to spent money to get CA votes. BWAHAHAHAHA
When will the figures corrected for voter fraud be out?
