text: Clinton won the popular vote because of California and NY.  Without them, she would have lost the popular vote too.  The sickos in CA and NY do not represent the entire U.S. population.  That's why the electoral college system was implemented.  To avoid a few large states from dominating the elections.  Trump didn't campaign in CA or NY because they were so heavily dems.  If he had, she may have lost there too.  Only one state in the whole country he couldn't win in no matter what he did.  You guessed it...HAWAII!  Now we're stuck with 4 useless Dems. We're up the proverbial creek.
