In the wake of President Donald Trump's tweets suggesting several nonwhite progressive congresswomen "go back" to their countries three of them were born in the U.S. it's tempting for Democrats to believe the comments will backfire with an increasingly diverse electorate and seriously damage his re-election prospects.
But the cold reality for Democrats? The bulk of the nation's demographic transformation is taking place in states that matter the least in deciding the Electoral College.
Democrats' worst nightmare came true in November 2016 when Hillary Clinton captured 2.9 million more votes than Donald Trump but he still comfortably prevailed in the Electoral College, 306 to 232. As much as they would like to purge that outcome from memory, Democrats would be unwise to write it off as a fluke: In 2020, it's possible Trump could win 5 million fewer votes than his opponent and still win a second term.

They’re going to milk that partial quote right up to election day.
I think they mean “5 million fraudulent votes.”
Proving the Electoral College is effective once more.
How about RBG croaks in December and POTUS waits for 2020 to name a replacement?
thank Heaven our Founders thought to give us the Electoral College!
without it, we would have been stuck with HilLIARy!
now we should reconsider the 16th and 17th Amendments
repealing the federal government’s power to directly tax individual citizens of the states.....and repealing the populist election of US Senators (which were designed to represent the States, not the voters...representing the voters is what the House of Representatives was, is designed to do...)
we may eventually be able to regain our republic and with it, our individual liberties
Trump will not lose a single vote from 2016 but is guaranteed at least 15 million more.
Key to this will be from black voters where Trump is on course to win over 50% of the vote
The leftists are worried - and for good reason.
Their presidential wannabes and the Democrat party has made it crystal clear they despise the white middle class and embrace illegal aliens while proposing a raft of insane policies that would bankrupt our country if implemented.
The result: Trump wins again in 2020.
They’re worried they have not spread the illegal aliens out enough.
Funny, I took the where you came from as the districts they represent, pretty much all of which are socially and economically depressed.
Take away the illegal vote, take away the voting rights of the dead, take away the back room votes and Trump wins by a bigger majority.

We will never know the precise margin of the popular vote.
In 2016 in California, Hillary was ahead in the vote count by about 2 million votes in the results announced the day after the election.
It was no surprise that Hillary carried California. But in the weeks that followed, as vote counting continued and additional votes were counted, from harvested and absentee ballots, Hillary’s final official margin in California was an incredible 4.3 million votes.
Look at another way, Trump won both the popular and electoral votes comfortably in the rest of the country, if we back out California from the totals.
My personal opinion, is that we will never know, because after election day, as vote counting continued, and we knew Trump won the electoral vote, nobody was paying attention to vote counting continuing in California and other places.
It’s likely that fraud contributed to padding Hillary’s vote totals, which could well have put her over the top in the meaningless unofficial “popular vote” total nationwide. Could it be that the Democrats padded Hillary’s vote totals to feed the narrative that “Hillary won the popular vote”, to use as a talking point to de-legitimize Trump’s election in their view?
There’s another reason I’m skeptical about Hillary having “won” the popular vote. Hillary got about 48% of the vote nationwide, Trump got about 46%, and about 6% went for other candidates. Hillary did not get a majority of the popular vote.
Look at another way, 52%, a comfortable majority, wanted someone other than Hillary to be president.
I know all this is meaningless, and that only the electoral vote matters. Thank God for that.
2.5 million people is 20% of the population of Los Angeles County. Is this fool seriously suggesting that 20% of one American county should determine who our president is?
Lose?
The game is electoral college, not curling.
Get out there and convince a majority of state electors and stop bitchen.
There is a mechanism to change the constitution.
The Federal Goobermint is an entity created by the states to represent THEIR interests. The Constitution is a written text defining specific duties of that goobermint, how it is established and how it is modified.
Removing state representation of the Electoral College from the Federal Goobermint process defeats the purpose of the Federal Goobermint as defined by Constitution.
Oh thats right. Thats what the Demon-rats want to do.
Never mind.
Hillary won by 2.9 million illegal votes.
